Saw hire

[RobRainford]

Im after any say which will run a 30 or 36" bar to hire for a weekend. Im willing to travel to pick it up, and ill sharpen it and clean it before i return it.

 

I need it for logging up some rather mahoosive beech logs we have here.

 

IM also after a splitter, tractor mounted preferable, for sale or for hire. We had our one nicked. plus it was too small for this stuff we have.

 

A search of google turned up very little, local shops do a biggest of a battered old husky on a 20"

 

Ideal saw would be a 660 or 880 depending whats around.

 

Cheers

Rob- what have you to do that requires such a saw....if you have a 20" bar you can cut 40" logs remember....Its slower, but is doable, and you can fell a stem of that size too! I only say this as i imagine it will be fairly hard to rent a saw such as you are after. I think most places that used to (jewsons, euro tool etc) have got rid of their big saws due to liability issues etc.

i posted here for a bigger saw as there are just none available and i dont know if the one i hire from a firm im not sure of would have had it looked after.

 

Its partly because i may be looking for a large saw in the future so would like to have a try with one and use it for some work to see how it performs.

 

 

im also after a tractor mounted log splitter, hydraulic is preferable.

As you well know Rob big saws are big expense, If you have worked for a couple of people off here, Try them first, As they know you and know abit about how you work and are more likely to trust you with their kit!!

Yeah it is like letting someone borrow one of your kids. I am reluctant to let people use my saws. Even when I'm stood watching them. Depends who it is though. There's two guys I know I don't think twice about letting them at my saws or other bits of gear. Others I tend to make up a reason that it's broke or blunt or I need it.

Its a difficult question as i do lend my newer 395 out to mates who need a bigger saw for a job but wont lend out my 088 to anyone even tho its a older model. I waited for ages for a big saw nearly bought a 3120 but having the advantage of having used them both i personally prefer the 088 hands down. I would buy something like a 70-80cc and use it as a ground saw this reduces your need for a bigger saw sooner and you can wait till you get some wedge together or till a second hand one pops up.

why not quarter the logs then log them off

 

a bit like this.... i havent got a mill yet so dont burn me for logging up some good milling wood,
