Hi matt get stubby)Pete to port it then it will run a 42" bar or get a 880 mate that will run it well or on the 660. Run a skip chain thanks Jon

A bigger saw ideally.

Rhob, who started milling the beech went thru/ melted, as i understand it two needle bearings on his 088. Do not under estimate milling timber or timber of big diameter. Ported or not.

To give u an idea. It took 11mins to cut a 12ft board with a new chain.

Nope not me. 3ft max on clean wood defo not old sycamore that twists when you cut it or old pop that furs up the bar.
