What's the longest bar you've got for those those big saws of yours?

I only have the 395xp now mate, I run a 36" bar on it. I used to run a 660 with 36" bar on my mill but ended up selling the lot, people just didn't want to pay to have timber planked. Now I just log the lot:) we got done by 2 pm Dave so did get a bit wet.

Milling a 30" oak butt with a 660 in Windermere today and a couple of days next week. I'll let you push if you want😉.

Or you could drop in on the way home as I'm based nr Greenodd.

Hi dave,

it wasn't behind the marina by any chance was it?

i was working on a property there today giving my old boss a hand out with my lads and i heard a saw getting some stick today!!!!

 

I would certainly like to call in on yourself also if it is not too inconvenient.

 

I have just looked on your website, do you still have the forcat? i may have a job for you, a friend of mine mentioned someone up greenodd, arrad foot way had one but i could not find out who it was.

 

can you please PM me your number and i will give you a call regarding the extraction job and to have a look at the mill.

 

Regards, john

if you guys ever come across any nice pankable hardwoods (excluding beach and sycamore) and would like to sell them rather than getting wet logging them please let me know.

No problem John

 

I need to mill a piece of oak fairly soon - as we need a new beam.

It will probably be next week - have to fix the Land Rover 1st.

 

Where abouts is Yew Tree house and Barn?

 

I'm up in Meathop near Lindale.

 

Hi Howard, can you PM me your details please and if it is ok with you i will give you a call over the weekend, I'm at the show tomorrow, having a day off for a change and i'm in eskdale friday so no reception.

 

think i can probably make any day next week apart from monday, are you leaving it square? i can bring my log-debarker on my 136 if you want it dressing up? it makes a really good job, just need to get a bolt for the side baring.

Not me govner, Sarki Tamang had a big job down there the other day, so probably him ringing up.

 

Yep it's me with the Oxtrac (new version of Forcat) at Greenodd. Also got 95 hp alpine tractor and winch which can be better option in certain situations.

 

Lunchtimes or after six is best for catching me, no chance of hearing the phone over the 660 screaming!

John what quantities you after? Always getting Oak that's too good for firewood, but usually 2-3 lengths at a time. Got a long (15-20') 18-20" looking for a home, with more to come at the same spot.

If your lucky saws turn up on eBay.

I bought a 95cc Jonsered and 99cc Husqvarna from there.

Both are in good nick and will run a 36" bar in an Alaskan Mill.

 

I'm guessing that you aren't that far away from me? - I live near Lindale.

 

If you want to see an Alaskan mill and a mini mill (great for the smaller stuff and beams) let me know.

 

Small world, i live in Witherslack. Might have to walk round and have a look at your milling set up.
