In the picture of your car, the mill is missing the top bar?
Is this because of the winch handle?

No it's like i said. I had to extend the Mill from 90 cm to 107 cm. At that time i just had no pipe. The one wich is attached right now is from an old broom wich i found i my new apartment. 

 

With the setup wich is bolted trough i never milled. So i cant tell you if there is any diffrence. I think no.

I could take a lot of milling jobs right now, but i am still working on my trailer. Still have to make some boxes for the outside of my trailer. Like on a trekking bike.

Hand filing will take a while to learn well,
Hyper skip or full skip chains work well with long bars.
I can probably hand sharpen a 84" hyperskip quicker than I could change the chain. As they have so few teeth.

Few months ago i had a post here, what would be the best chain for this set up. 

The problem is, that my seller can not offer a hyper skip in 3/8. But i wanted a 3/8 bar, so it cuts less material and should be in theory faster then .404.

 

So i bought 3 chains: 

1x RM063-3/8185RMX Stihl (10° full comp)

1x 75EXJ185E (Oregon 30° Full Skip)

1x RM063-3/8185HM Stihl ( 30° full comp)

 

So i just will see how it goes with the Full Skip. If i like it i am just going to modify the Stihl 30° one by grinding the teet out from myself. Since it is cheaper than let it made custom made for me.

3/8 and .404 are the nearly the same kerf.
Also go RS with stihl chains.
You've got a broom handle to hold your mill together??? [emoji849]

Like i said i nevever milled with the "new" setup. If i find it helpfull i am going to replace it with aluminium pipe. 

 

But really the mill is working great without it. Dont see the point.
