Stihl 090 on some ash

[Rob D]

I thought when the weather was bad, you hit the workshop and didn't put your feet up:lol:

 

Better stop - think we have gone off subject.....sorry Rob:blushing:

 

 

Ha ha! More cake if you're offering

[geoff]

They are not cheap - will be £590-00+vat although I'll still do 10% off for arbtalkers.... milling width of a full 6 foot and yep would be mental with x2 090s or x2 076s!

 

 

I'll be using with a single powerhead I think and see how I get on as have a 6 foot wide oak in the yard.

thought it would be that sort of price bin looking at ur 72inch one

[Rob D]

The 72" one gives 56" of cutting width Martin - I've not used one yet but they are much wider in the middle than other long bars and seem more rigid.

wait till spring and i mite test one out rob put 2 076s on it and try to get a vid

they did look wider in the pic u have up on ur site

might be able to work something out with alec as he has a 6-7ft oak to plank up

Lovely colour in those boards Rob.

 

Question - how do you find the 090 compared to the 088/MS880? I find that with the 50 inch bar the 088 is a bit tediously slow. Found it to be far more practical on the 42.

 

I am dying to get a custom hydraulic chainsaw mill built, but haven't yet found the log to justify it.

The 090 revs lower than the MS880 but just does not seem to bog down as easily... it slows in larger wood but still keeps on going through it... where the 880 can quickly get bogged down which is why it is prob happier on a 42" bar...

 

But I think milling 40"+ diameter with a chainsaw will always be a bit slow and hard work.
