Easier said than done with many Stihl dealers, especially if your only local one is a tractor dealer who know sweet FA about saws. Fortunately DM saws are brill.

Whilst the 880’s new engine is bedding in, we cut some nice pippy yew on the logosol F2+ with the stihl 661.


And a bit more local oak,
satisfying to lay down timber[emoji106]

Another day, another Walnut.

1.25" - 3" boards neatly stacked in the wood barn for drying.

 

This will be the third one this year.

Although to be fair I didn't get one of them, owner had the "it's a valuable black walnut" syndrome!

[se7enthdevil]

in all honesty he got some bloody nice stuff there didn't he...

 

when dry it will actually make a pretty penny, for once...

We have one here as well, they are shite, just want to sell you new machines and over charge for chains etc.
Recently my 880 spat out c clip sprocket and needle bearing as I started back cut on 3’ dbh dead oak, sprocket found but alas needle bearing knackered n clip evaporated!
I called 5 Stihl dealers and none had bearing or clip, so I called Halls Power Equipment a husky dealer and they found me the bits ‘out back’ immediately!
I find they’re the only saw specialist who carry a good amount of bits n bobs for almost any pro saw. None of these bigger dealers seem to carry even the most basic of spares on the shelf.
I always buy my new saws from Halls in spite of them being 50 odd quid more as there service and back up is superb!
