Hahaa my granddad has finally started using his christmas pressy!

 

I got him a BRAND NEW (thats a shock in my family) Oregon Bar / Chain and some beefy felling dogs for his 440, so no more re-drilling oiler holes and making old dolmar bars fit now :thumbup:

 

He still hasnt put the dogs on yet :thumbdown:

 

But its amazing how much lighter that new bar is!!!

how does the bar perform was thinking of getting one for my Husqvarna 235 currently has 15'' but could do with a smaller bar as it lacks power to pull 15'' quickly and is only used for small coppice and snedding.

 

Is that a power major in the background. I Love fordson tractors we have got 3 and all still work for a living and their older that me. Good old British engineering :thumbup:

i'm guessing its a super major,power majors lived a shorter life with their head gasket trouble,not that many left

Nice one! That last pic reminds me of when Id just turned the bar, and some fool walks past laughing that "He's put the blade on the wrong way round":001_rolleyes: I couldnt be bothered with explaining.
