Being a valtra think they all come with engine block heaters as standard.

I agree hydraulic oil degrades with heat. I was unhappy if it got over blood temperature. Fancy thermostats something extra to go wrong. In cold weather I'd stall one of the services at tickover to warm it up and prevent cavitation. Cavitation kills aluminium gear pumps in short order.

Love it, that's a great idea.

What does it do? Sense the pto shaft turning?

Interesting.. Had similar. Alarm goes off in cab at 70⁰c. 46 hydraulic oil isn't ideally supposed to get that hot.. 60-70 according to JD but still strikes me as awful hot. Blown out all rads, replaced tank return AND transmission filter. Now maxxing out at 60⁰c. There is a thermal valve aka thermostat which is supposed to get the oil up to temperature faster but it might have a check valve which will stick open with debris and bypass the oil cooler entirely - not good.

Not sure where to post this, all scrap wood from neighbours builders waste, 4 new 100mm screws, 2 chair legs, 3 pallets and the toys rescued from the beach.

It's the sprung tensioning mechanism. Even has a little internal catch for remounting the bar. All well and good until it breaks.

Not really, just seen essentially the same joke posted on here about 100 times in the last week - different images but the same - mix it up, keep it fresh, else will see a post and just scroll past assuming it is the same old-same old

Insulting your hero?! PMSL.

FFS!!! Okay, 3 men and a chipper and I'm all yours for £80, Turning my business into a charity now.

Husqvarna 61 was fathers main saw alongside another 61. The 044 was my first personal saw I bought at auction 8 years ago in bits and put new gaskets seals and top end on. That 070 was bought brand new by my granddad and was used on a double ended bar with the other 070 on a mill replacing two large Huskies father had a local dealer make one good 070 out the pair then it sat on a shelf for 20 odd years all I had to do was unseize it put new rings and exhaust on it and it started so I bought the 36" bar for it with intentions of getting a mill that I've only bought today. Mcchulloch pro mac 800 on the left has a 28 inch bar and was given to father to hold on to and was never picked up and the big Mcchulloch 450 I bought at an auction for £18 with 30" and had running within an hour the oldest in the collection . Also got an 051 av sat on the shelf that done alot of felling for father. Then theres ms170, 009, 020 av seq, ms200t and a Norwegian Jobu I got from my deceased neighbour.

I agree. The one downfall of the tool is that it throws the chain quiet easily, especially if you force the cut or catch a thin branch. That side cover and plastic nut thing does seem flimsy. If the nut ever broke, Id experiment with something else - maybe a locking wingnut and a massive repair washer?

Well done on finding out how to post in jokes, now try posting one that is funny perhaps? I appreciate you taking 'joke' to mean 'joke of a person' but that wasn't the intention of this thread. Or at least try a new joke - you have posted the same several times now, try something new and fresh perhaps and not boring and stale.

One fine day I hope to be able to show some pics of the house.
