I have lots of the technical data on the motor I have tried to work out a rough cost p/hour.

But I’m no electrician so haven’t got very far.

 

If anyone can have a rough estimate of power consumption from these figures I’d be grateful!

Hi does that run a 3/8 or 404 chain ?

They sell what they call ‘special’ cannon bars so I’m not sure if they are different to ones you can buy online as normal. I have ordered a 63cm as the 70cm isn’t available until March. It’s a good question though! This is what they quote on site:

‘In cooperation with the best guide bar manufacturer in the world, the Canadian Cannon Bars, Logosol has developed a fantastic, solid guide bar for log sawing. A thinner material in combination with really tough hardening and precise tolerances in the chain groove, give a bar that is ideal for chain sawmills.’

I will look in to that. I know the free chains from stihl they are including for me are ‘ripping’ chains but I’m not sure if the bars are actually 3/8/ 3/8LP or 404 [emoji848] for the ES8

A 54" bar is a fair length but with a good solid support bar i see no reason why it would not work. Log size is the main thing your up against then. A ton log is a fair lump and the one in the photo would not be that heavy looking at the length of it.

That log weighs about 1.5t ish. The norcar is rated to lift 1.2t and couldn’t pick it up to put it on his trailer. I’m looking forward to seeing it milled.

Off the small photo it looked small but on the trailer you can see its size

Not even the base of the tree. Still about 6 metres of it standing. I’ve been taking out some fair old lumps from that site

The bit on the trailer is the bit on the deck in this pic. I left the rest standing.

That stem should be a cracker if you can get it down

Job spec was fell to 5/6 metres.
Not cutting anything I don’t have to. [emoji23]
