Winter and Summer chain oil?


Rye Oil Ltd

Recommended Posts

it becomes a lot more evident when you start milling with 20-30" bars, oregon is ok in the summer, but way too viscous in the winter, change over to stihl seems to cure this, I notice a resin build up on the links when the oil is getting too viscous, its not flowing quite fast enough

a good "sticky" fast flowing oil designed with milling in mind would be a brilliant addition to the armoury of whats already available...Rye Oils?, somethine you might look at

 

Thanks always looking to increase our product range. If I come up with a test sample, would you be happy to trial it for me?

be more than happy to trial any brews you come up with John, hopefuly another log cabin build coming up in the new year, so a lot of milling on the M7 on the cards, (last build was 450 5mtr cuts in 10"-14" larch ) I used up 2 chains and needed a new bar after that one, so anything that gives me some more longevity would be good.

( three cuts to give a "d" shaped log, then the chaisaw moulder over the log to give a top and bottom "w" shaped locking profile)

Thanks that would be really handy. In the new year I will look at the options and see what I can come up with, I may be able to make a thinner chain oil with a decent tacky content, but up the anti wear additive. This should help reduce bar wear. If you PM me an address I can send you a sample next year.

Cheers

Jon
