105cc motor suit Fixed stand sawmill

No bids | No reserve | Closes: Thu, 7 Aug

 

 

Starting bid: $ Auto-bid

 

 

These are normally worth around $2000, but I can sell these to you at

the cost of a second hand one.. these are entirely suitable for a fixed

mill motor.

 

OSH has determined that they are not to be fitted with a bar and chain

and used as a normal chainsaw because they do not have a saftey bar and

brake. they do make a marvelous fixed mill motor...

yep, sure is

[andythesquirel]

These remind me of an old stihl contra chainsaw. Lots of parts appear the same. Coincidence?

[Jamie]

I beleive they are either genunine Sthil saws manfactured in South America or knock offs from China.

 

Sthil makes saws for the local market,German ones for europe,has a plant in the US and one or two in south America.

 

OSH woun't permit these saws to be used hand held in NZ.They lack a chainbreak.If I were you,I'd hold off buying one untill you have had a look at one in person.

 

Thats my $0.02
