Hi Bud, Thankyou for your question. In this video it is the Climber 7.18. Hope this helps mate!

@@jburrco3761 Thank you. Im thinking of getting one next year as im struggling with my zero turn mower when the grass is too long and wet. The Grillo looks like it would at least keep the grass down.

Hi Darren Honestly mate, these are fantastic! I have a new video coming soon of a site clearance I did with this machine, the overgrowth was unreal, around 4-6ft tall of course thistle, grass, bracken, bramble… you name it, it was in there! This machine handled it like a champ! They are versatile enough that you can use them for many mowing situations and they leave a pretty decent finish, even on grass. Sure they don't leave it quite as nice as say a tri-blade mulch deck but they certainly leave it tidy! I would highly recommend them to anyone! I don’t think you would be disappointed mate!

Hi, Vibrations are not too bad, they have anti-Vibe mounts which do help to dampen it down however, it does vibrate a little more than the more expensive brands. But when you consider that from a price point it is significantly cheaper than the more renowned brands and comes with a superb warranty I feel it is a worthwhile trade-off. It all depends on the type of use you require from the saw but my advice, go get one, keep the receipt and try it for a few days and if you dont like it, take it back and then go for one of the more expensive brands 🙂 Thankyou for taking the time to watch and I appreciate your comment. Hope this helps, Stay safe and be lucky!! Kind Regards Josh

You will not regret it mate, Best thing I have brought, my only regret is that I did not get one sooner. Stay safe and keep on mowing!!

Hi and thank you for your comment, I apologize for the delay in responding! Thank you, I really appreciate that! these honestly are fantastic little machines that are incredibly versatile and often get overlooked. I know over here there are numerous brands that manufacture and offer similar pieces of equipment, I'm not sure about availability on your side of the pond (Which is beautiful by the way, I have family in SC and we often travel up to NC to visit my aunts family in Appalachia and Boone county) but I know that Iseki and I believe Stiga have something similar. The biggest plus point for this is that it is low impact on the ground so does not churn up the grass or dirt and is a very narrow access machine, yet it has the capability of something much larger. It allows you to perform jobs that would once of required a small tractor and mulcher but with the access capabilities and delicate nature of a ride-on lawn mower! I have owned and operated various other types of brushcutting and mulching machines and once I purchased this, I sold the lot! I absolutely love it and the capabilities of the machine are incredible, I will be posting another video fairly soon of a project I worked on where the area we were cutting was around 5ft tall in most places! It just seems to eat whatever you throw at it. Previous equipment that I owned seemed to have certain things that they were good at but were not able to cope with everything, such as my pedestrian flail mowers. They were fantastic for brush such as bracken, nettle's etc but could not cope with things like long grass or bramble as it just used to choke the flail drum so I had to take multiple pieces of equipment to one job in order to complete it, whereas the Grillo there has not been a single thing I have tried to cut with it where it let me down! Thank you again for your kind words and comments. Take care Josh

Hi, thankyou for your comments. Thats really interesting to know, I will definitely have to try that, Thankyou for sharing that. How long has it been on the oil spout? Kind regards Josh

@@jburrco3761 The grey one has been on for more than a year. The two different plastics seem to make a difference. As some have mentioned, the dark black spout's material swells and jams. The grey material doesn't seem to be affected in the same way.

@@deehannaway5754 Thankyou for sharing that, I will definitely give it a go as the black ones are terrible, i found the main issue to be the O rings, you replace the O rings and it works great for a while then goes back to sticking, im not sure if it is a reaction between the O rings and the plastic or like you say swelling of the plastic itself. Again thankyou for sharing!!

Hi and thankyou for your comment, i couldn’t agree more that the versatility of the can is brilliant, and a much better price point compared to Stihl! Its just such a shame that these little issues let it down as they really should not be an issue. Out of curiosity what did you do in order to fix it? Kind regards Josh

Safe to say i needed a fresh set of shorts 😂

Hi and Thankyou for your comment. Im sorry that you feel that I am a Professional as this is certainly not the case, I certainly do not want to portray this either. With regards to the comparison I was not making a like for like Comparison between this saw and a Stihl or husky, as there is no comparison between the 2. I was actually stating in favour of the Parkside over a Husky, Stihl or Echo as for the money I thought it was a fantastic saw. I also stated that the parkside saw was not intended or meant to be use in a commercial environment and was simply designed and dedicated to a homeowner for lightweight use. I mentioned the oil filler bung simply as a personal opinion, which is regardless to the market it is designed for. I have used other cheaper brands of saws in the past that are both intended for commercial use yet the filler spout is still large enough for the spout on a combi can. This comment was simply an observation and personal opinion. Again I apologise if you felt that I was making a direct comparison between this and other brands, however i use other brands such as husky, Stihl or echo as most people will be familiar with those and will be able to relate easily with them. I actually felt that for the money this was a fantastic saw and actually exceeded my expectations, in certain ways this actually put other brands to shame, and in fact still have the saw to this day. I completely appreciate that if you want a professional saw then you have to pay professional money, which is exactly why I have multiple professional level saw’s that I use for day to day commercial activities, as like you say, the Parkside is not designed for that. Im sorry that you did not feel this was a good representation and a poor review, i simply made this video based off of my own opinions and for entertainment purposes rather than “professional advice” Thankyou for watching and for your feedback, I will bear this in mind for future demonstrations. Kind Regards Josh

@jburrco3761 Good Morning Josh, I am glad that you have taken the time to read my comments and responded so courteously, without the need for derogatory and inflammatory comments and suggestions, as so often happens when a different opinion is offered on these forums. So I thank you for being gentlemanly and professional with your response. My main area of concern was readers who have never used a chainsaw,jumping into a decision to purchase a saw which is not as robust as let's say, a more professional piece of equipment. They do a good enough job ,but alas are built to a set budget . I have found over the years ,that if they are expensive enough, then most novices avoid them on price point alone. Let's not forget that these things can cause horrendous casualties in the hands of well intentioned individuals. I have personally witnessed two such encounters. Not something many people seem to think about it appears, until it is too late. Keep up the good reviews, they are enjoyable and I look forward to more to follow. Best Regards Trevor

@@trevor3104 Hi Trevor. I would also like to thankyou for your humble response and opinions. I think the trouble is these days it is so easy for people to base opinion on a subject or person based of a very short period of time ( such as a 10 min video) and allot of context can be missed or misinterpreted. The issue can go both ways as often the individuals that write the comments can often be derogatory or harmful which to the creator can be frustrating, However there are often instances where certain comments contain specific factual merit or like you say simple personal opinion/ constructive criticism and yet people still take offence. I find the issue is especially on these platforms is people take the text they are reading as face value, rather than actually taking the time to read the comments expressed properly and from a broader perspective. People seem to have a real issue these days with accepting and listening to other people's opinions which I have never really understood, I for sure have learned a lot in life by taking on others opinions, Comments and criticism. I as an individual am in no way perfect nor do I pretend to be but I am also one that will whole heartedly admit and also show my mistakes, there are is another video on my channel that demonstrates one of my biggest in the tree cutting world! feel free to watch it if you fancy a cringe! A gentleman once said to me " A man who has made no mistakes, has made nothing at-all" I completely agree with you, anybody in the market looking to purchase equipment such as chainsaws should do the correct research dependent on their intended use and purpose and not just based on a budget or " that'll do" mindset. like you say a saw such as this would serve no purpose in a commercial environment as they would not last but more importantly potentially be quite dangerous. I really appreciate anybody that takes the time to watch my videos. I only have a small channel but even If one of my videos helps 1 individual the i am happy with that! If only the world could learn to communicate without the need to take offence then we may all just learn a thing or two! If you feel they are relevant to you please feel free to subscribe. Again Trevor, Thankyou for your time, for watching and your conversation! Take care, All the best Josh

Would not recommend to anyone, the Stihl cans are the only ones i buy, have had no issues with those whatsoever! Thanks for watching and for your comment! Take care

Hi thankyou for your comment, I would suggest that there is a fault with the kill switch on the saw and i cant say i suffered from oil leaking. I would suggest especially due to the kill switch not operating properly and with it being a vital safety feature of the saw that you return it and swap it for a replacement as that particular saw in my opinion is not fit for purpose. If you purchased it from Lidl I cant imagine you would have any issues in exchanging it providing you have the receipt 😊 I hope this helps and Thankyou for watching and reaching out. Kind Regards Josh

Hi, thanks for your comment. Im afraid im not trying to pretend to be anything, simply showing my own mistakes to show what can and will happen if you don’t do things right, and in no way am i trying to promote it as a COOL thing. The side trimming was simply knocking off some of the buttresses, which as a logger im sure you will of done at some-point in your career. As far as my own experiences i think mistakes that you make can be invaluable learning experiences if you let them, and god only knows i have made plenty. A man who has made no mistakes has made nothing atall! I do not think, nor say i am a professional in any way, just an ordinary guy trying to make a living. I apologise if you found this video frustrating or a detriment to the professional industry, I was simply just showing this to demonstrate and for educational purposes. Thanks again for your comment Kind regards Josh

@@jburrco3761 I wasn't saying that it was cool, I meant that it's a very dangerous thing, and accident are not cool. Sorry for the comment

@@PatrickMedley-g6n don’t Be sorry for the comment mate, im more than happy with the comment, as everything you have said is true. All this video demonstrates is basically everything you shouldn’t do when felling or working with tree’s. I made every error in the book on this particular tree but by heck did it teach me a lot, but I wanted to show this in a hope that it will help to prevent someone making the same mistakes i did I learned more through this one monstrous mistake than what i had through years of successful felling! Be safe and take care, and thank-you for watching and also your comment! Kind Regards Josh

Fast teachers they are!! Thank you, and you be safe

@@PatrickMedley-g6n no truer words spoken! Thanks again mate! Take care

Hi. The file holders have sprung steel catches that are designed to keep the files in place when refuelling your saw, unfortunately on these cans seem to suffer from those spring catches not being quite up to the job. Its not quite a case of just turning it upside down but when refuelling naturally the can end up pretty much upside down and the files fall out due to the catches not working properly.

Yes.

Hi, I am terribly sorry to hear about your friend, that is a true tragedy! In this instance it was my in-experience that lead to the outcome, fortunately I came out the other side completely in-tact, but hell did it teach me allot! Thank you for your comment and taking the time to watch! My wishes go out to you and the family of your freind. Stay safe and be lucky! Josh

Thankyou for you kind words, i think it is important to demonstrate our mistakes as that is what eventually leads to our successes! This one cut taught me more than any other and being able to demonstrate this to others in the hope that they can both learn and prevent this from happening to anyone else. Again Thankyou for your kind and constructive comment and thanks for taking the time to watch! Kind Regards Josh

@@jburrco3761 You are welcome Josh, your positive, honest and open mindedness will lead you to greatness, stay safe always !!!
