The politics side is bit off, but what were the saws, were they big and possibly cheap? Let us know if they are for sale again:thumbup1:
-
No worries, sounds fair enough to me:001_smile:
-
Some tend to overlook customer requirements and satisfaction slightly:thumbup1:

Doesnt look anywhere near 40" across:sneaky2: Dont get into a habit of cutting buttresses off as one day you may need the wider hinge:thumbup1: You still got another couple to scrutinise?
-
Looks like a deep gob James, but what was the chunk off the side for?
-
No worries, i read with interest as i have a nice heap of walnut. The tree fell down as a result of the rootball failing so there wasnt any flaring left. Plenty of nice sized logs though! There is another walnut in the same park that is due for felling in the next year or two, so hopefully get some root and buttress from that one, even if it isnt quite worth massive amounts, will be worth getting if possible then:thumbup1: Thanks again for the input.

Wow Wadkin, some info there! Cheers

Errrrm, wrap it the other way round the capstain for a few times:confused1:

Ok, call me what you like here, but if you are noticing differences in performance when changing filters, you ought to be re setting carbs also. IMO, there is no need for two filters if you are milling. If you mill, put the HD filter on and set the carb accordingly. It will not go to waste for general use. I would like to add, my 660 had standard filter on it and not milling would still get dust in the carb. I feel its more of a design issue with Stihl, but i doubt they will accept that, so, i would say if you notice dust on the inside of a standard filter change it to a better one(regardless of use), set the carb and clean it according to the conditions. Simples:thumbup:
-
Sorry, only just found this thread! Dust behind the filter is not good in any amount, so for those who think its acceptable, its not. Try and sort it out as it WILL reduce the life of your saw! Heres a link to a thread i started some time back if its of any interest. Not sure if the part numbers the same though; http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/chainsaws/8589-ms660-ms460-air-filter-upgrades.html

Great one, thought it only polite to ask first. Could be quite a gathering:thumbup:
-
No hinge. Looks like a home owner cut:lol:
-
Perhaps Steve ought to let us know if there's room. How big is likely to be steve, and will Fletcher Stewart be ok if a load of us meet up all at once?
-
The problem is with that is the saw is still in the cut when the step cut snaps. Not ideal when releasing such tension. In what way did the split happen? Was it a high chair?
-
I, like skyhuck am a little curious. I do like the cut, BUT; I can see the point of getting cuts to meet using a sloping cut, but this bit about keeping your body further from the stem if it splits is tosh! IMHO, if the dogs tooth is set correctly, the stem should not split. That is the whole reason for using that cut!
-
Urbanforestry, im not going to criticise your comments as im not sure you meant it the way the others read it. Perhaps you were joking? Instead i would ask you your opinion what stumps you think are "baddly felled" and follow it up with some constructive advice:thumbup:
-
Rob, on the dogs tooth the hinge could of been better dressed but nice job all the same:thumbup:
-
Very nice planks mate:thumbup1:

Here ya go fella, old but a full thread about 'em http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/5529-lazer-pointer.html

Nice one Ady, but none of them are heavy enough. most only go to 1200 or 1500kgs, and the 1800kgs ones only work at that on level ground. The thing im talking about would need to push 2 tons of chipper up hill or on rough ground. None of the caravan ones will do this.
-
I too have the parts dean, and not the time. The parts are on the caravan we bought, but not sure they would cope with the vermeer though:001_huh:
-
Remote control mover for chippers, like caravans have but able to move a 2ton chipper on gravel:001_rolleyes:
-
If i see anyone looking like the poof in your avatar, i will be heading in the other direction fella:lol: Anyhow, friday is the day for us, must be 2 years since i spoke to you last steve? Be good to see you again:thumbup:
-
Ah, yes, the stab and run technique! Never thought of that one today. My main concerns were the very heavy weighting, AND the dead in the top of the tree. The risk of widow makers falling was massive, hence why i had Mike with me. The job was done for a neighbour of my Dads for the firewood only. Although he would crosscut the timber, the guy didnt want to fell it himself as he thought "it looked as though it could go wrong!" Not sure what he will make of it now as the "firewood" hit the floor and it was like there had been an explosion as all we could see was dust for the next two minutes! When the dust settled, Mike said "that wont take much cutting up now"!:lol:
-
Ok, heres one from today, possibly more advanced and not sure ive seen it here before. Its a dogstooth cut as 2+1/2 bar, although i might have got away with 2x bar, but did the bore cut as this was a nasty dead beech. The tree had been around 80 to 90 feet but had lost the top 30 feet or so years ago, probably been dead around 10 years and had very heavy side weight in direction of fell hence the dogstooth You may note one side of the hinge is purposely wider as the whole of that side of the stem was powder rotten! Just hope you can see detail as it was just phone camera! Feel free to scrutinise:001_rolleyes:
