"Do this for a living"? nope ,surely not. Just cutting logs ocassionally for firewood. Sometimes someone asks me to cut a few trees that bothers him. I ended up on this forum after getting about 4 cubic meters of oak logs, for firewood about 21-22 months ago. Was baffled by how "stubborn" was to cut by chainsaw yet easy to split by axe. Was a decision of moment because usually I buy beech or hornbeam. Wich I know what's it about and how long it takes to dry/season. Then I found out from some individuals that I might wait 3-5 years for this oak to season 🤔😱 Of course I got even more curios and baffled WTF 3-5 years are they talking about... If after 2 years this oak doesn't burns right like beech and hornbeam have done past winters I'm done with oak as firewood! but anyway, big chainsaws are good for hardwood if you're in a hurry 😁

+1 I do feel there was a technology sweet spot around 2005. A lot of "advances" since have been purely for commercial gain rather then customer need or desire.

I did you moron. You wouldn't recognise them if they shook your hand and introduced themselves. Don't have one, don't need one, come on join in with the 21st C. OK, one more time, how can you use covid deaths in data that is supposed to support excess deaths due to the covid vaccine?

Agreed. It seems the educational establishment have no idea how to tell how much work is down to a student and how much is AI. Perhaps a solution to this might be for universities to actually return to exam based assessments!

Agriculture gave us leisure time. But also huge famines, huge wars, slavery, obesity, genocide etc. I am not sure many people would want to return to hunting and gathering however!

So as someone who doesn’t suffer from TDS or Leftarditis why is Trump calling for the release of the Epstein files ??. Now I’m not defending or accusing anyone here but surely if according to SP in particular and the other TDS sufferers he’s the spawn of the devil and the worlds worst sexual predator he would not be wanting anything that would incriminate him released !!. I know you Leftards “ get it” but something doesn’t add up here.

Good morning. Bit of an edge to it out there. Off to Farnborough for second phase works. Have a splendid start to the week.

A sharp chain beats more power all day long . As above . The smallest , lightest that will do the job every time .

Looks like a dry day ahead, the temperatures are due to plummet this week. A straight forward Oak dismantle with a bit of rigging out before felling. All log and chip staying on site. 👍

390 should be on .375 ( 3/8ths ) not .325 . Bar length 20,24,28 seems good . I have a Spud ported one .

My 90cc comes out of the workshop about twice a year. I use the smallest, lightest saw that will effectively do the job, 80% of what I do on the ground is done with a 550xpg (50cc) the rest 572xpg (70cc), you clearly don’t do this job for a living.

Mornin’ Stubs et al. Dryish week ahead, another lime re pollard, lad (up and coming climber) would be miffed if he’s not allowed to do it, so I’m picking up sticks all day.

Cooler here, sounds still too! Another day of calling Ufkes Owners and some of the previous enquiries! Be good y'all. Tote, Aloe, Tear, Yearn

Morning all . Starlit sky and noticeably cooler at 4c with a high of 8c .

As pure a pile of rubbish as has been posted on here for a while.

60cc seems the minimum for the "average user". Probably too big if you're climbing trees 😁 But for ground stuff I begin to think a 90cc chainsaw is the right choice. (390/395xp). More power is always welcomed. I sure am tempted

60-70cc seems to be the right spot for a chainsaw for the normal/"average" guy, not professional. BUT: I did got the chance to hold and use/cut into a hardwood log with a Husqvarna 390,old but in good shape. I was impressed ,quite a difference from Makita EA6100P. And same dude ,that is almost always either in forest chopping trees or in 6x4 truck transporting logs , confessed he's thinking about a new Husqvarna 395xp . Because more power= better chainsaw. Who's complaining about weight get back to gim and pushups 😁 I haven't used+carried that 390xp all day or at least 3-4 hours but it didn't felt that much heavier than a Makita EA6100. Chain .325 but it has limits... As for blade length... As long as you need it to be . Women want it longer and bigger. 🙄 They must know something

I managed to get hold of a 564 recently and it's a great saw to use ( an hour or so a day logging up for a week or two ) been told told December same as Mark and I would imagine we have the same rep being in the north west. Although we all know how they like to get stuff out on time
