    I done a search for them when i used a mates a few weeks ago. Could only find them on eBay (is that the only place you can buy them ?)

    I noticed they did have a 22" 52cc as well as a 22" 62cc for sale.

    I've always thought a "22 inch Bar" meant a "22 inch bar"...

    Does bar length refer to actual "cut" length or length of the bar (off the machine).

    The bolt-up, dogs etc, would reduce the actual cutting capacity.

    The bar length is generally measured from the tip of the bar to the end of the bar studd cut out, nearest to the tip.The overall bar length is not the true length.

    Does anyone have a contact number for these guys ? I have been looking at the Honda 21 inch but I cant seem to get a number to have a chat about the warranty. I have read some of what you guys have said about AGR, if the Honda is that bad how come they have not been shut down, and I'm sure Honda would not be to happy about their product being badly promoted.

    What is the best goping price around the place for a Honda 21 inch ?

    Cheers

    Agree with you Trucut not all stuff on ebay is crap but when it comes to engines for commercial contarctors you cant afford any trouble with equipment there is nothing more frustrating than pulling the cord ten times to get it started you want to pull it once and away it goes nice and smooth .

    Domestic consumers yes no problems they have the time to fuff around with it not people earning a living from them .

    Machinery does 95 percent of the work they are the workers you employ in a way and have to be treated with respect keep well fed and well maintained otherwise will cost you lots of dollars in time .
    Time is money .

    Quality gear gives you quality time quality times gives you quality lifestyle .

    Initial price for great gear saves hundreds if not thousands down the line .

    When you buy an asset especially if it creates money every day is money well worth the expenditure

    also don't forget rudd's stimulus pack where if you have capital expenditure on a single item over $1000 you can claim an extra 30% this year
    so $900 + no extra claim = $900
    $1300 - extra 30% claim = $910
    i know which one i would buy
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you
