Barkbox

[Giles D]

Dose anyone know if I can get hold of a bark box in the uk for my 661 and my 881? Or do I have to import from Westcoast directly?

Yes you can get them in the UK, but you wont be using them on my jobs too noisy.

On an 881 especially, apsolute suicide

That was my opinion as well. You need ear plugs and ear defenders with this "muffler"! 

Not something you can really use unless your work is forestry or in the middle of nowhere.

Makes my mods seem pretty quiet.

Also this weather you are likely to set something on fire !

Exhaust mods are ok and all that, but if you’re working in domestic arb it’s a bit antisocial.

Industry takes enough stick as it is without making things worse. Some top handles make more noise than some chippers.

Oh now now...nothing like announcing ones presence in the valley with the 661 and BB 😎 did make mistake of firing it up without muffs once though 🙉

I really wouldn't bother with them. Tried them on a couple of saws but didn't really see any benefits. 

And the decibel level is just really stupid. 

Honestly take a tip from a mug that tried them and save your money. 

Stock 400s/462s and other brand equivalents are fantastic saws without any of this nonsense.

Bark Boxs sound good from a long way away ,  but do nothing for performance,  and with chipper spec ear defenders are still way too loud .

@Crocky mod to my Dolmar 7310 has a pleasing 'put' much better performance ,  without being anti socially loud.

Money much better spent on a professional port.
