Logosol M7

[Stihl123]

hi, on the M7, what bar do people run, am i correct in thinking that it would take a lo pro 30" on a 660 or what do people recommend please?

 

what's the max slab you can cut, someone said 36" or something but not sure what is actually possibly 

 

any tips, tricks & pics would be great ?

I’ve used 30” and 36” bars on my logosol F2+.
I get a mate with a 3’ stick to hold the bar horizontal until it’s in the wood.
Now I mainly use 20” and 25” bars to cut square edge stuff and smaller slabs.
To mill really big logs,
You’ll need to build a log table inside your logosol just above to height of the lifting arms.
Be careful of shock loading when turning the log.
I’ve put a 1.5ton on mine.
(Broke the log table)
Milled it in half, then milled each half separately.
Think the photos are on the today’s milling thread.

cheers mate that's good, pretty sure i can remember seeing the pics of when you broke it!!

hopefully if i get a lo pro 28" that should cover most things!

cheers

36" bar regularly on my 660, sometimes not big enough for that  mid log cut, or a big crotch, if you feel the logs to big for the mill, put the mill on the log, yes, invert the setup and work upside down......it does work, especially for real big stuff you neat to split down

When running those bigger bars, don't you get quite a bit of flex

Or have you made it so the support can still be used when using like a 36" bar etc please? 

Thanks

Get a mate with a long 4’ stick to hold the nose up til it’s in the wood
