My set up is alaskan 48" mill but running 36" bar on 660 at the moment. It has oregon chain on it but i think there is better stuff around. I think Rob is really the man to ask Doug, i am still in the playing around stage at the moment, but it is good fun:thumbup:

Leaves a much better finish Doug, but if you want a polish finish, it will need a bit of work.

Lightning Class 2 boot for trial
18 stoner replied to essentialARB's topic in The Official Essential Arb Forum
Could you post a little more on the spec of the boot please? Like are they leather uppers, gortex etc. Thanks. -
Gives you a great lot of satisfaction turning good timber into more than just rings! Just a little tip for saw suitability, dont assume your 066 will pull the chain as well in the mill as it does cross cutting:sneaky2: It will run a 36" bar but its on its limit. Make sure you get good ripping chain, and keep it sharp, you'll be ok. Consider running your saw with more oil in the fuel, like 32:1. As others have said, Rob D is the man for info and chains/mill bits.

Sounds great Rupe, i think you've done well to keep it that low. You've spurred me on to get mine weighed! It'll be an interesting comparison, double cab with all that alloy to my steel frame with box and single cab. I was hoping to come out around 2350kgs:blushing:

So how could we get over these "inconstancy's" as you say, when comparing between motor industry regulations and LOLER?
-
So are you saying you would like to see all varieties of industry and leisure, governed by the same set of rules then?
-
Who says seat belts are safe Dave? The way i see it, our kit is LOLER inspected, and seat belts are checked in an MOT. The governing bodies for each set the specifics of time and frequency slightly differently, but are still checked.

Or the plug!!!!! Or the HT lead!!!! Start with the cheaper bits first:thumbup1:
-
Could it be that when manufactured, at that point it is exposed to UV, then the deterioration has started. Hence the date?

Try and avoid using ether on an old engine!

:lol:

A small point to bear in mind is, i notice there has been almost 1000 views on this thread now, but no one has taken you up on your offer. I have large trees to take down for one, and i dare say there are others too who have, but i feel i would rather reward someone properly for that sort of work, mainly so we dont end up in an even more cut throat situation than the arb world is already in.
-
Gavin, what sort of money do you call a "a lot of money"? How much would you put on that tree then? Very curious as you say you have a mortgage to pay. If you go around doing lots of large trees for free to get your "fix" will that not become a financial issue?

Wow! Is it xmas coming up, or April 1st?

The best way to air dry is in a roofed building with freeflowing air or even no sides at all. Anything bagged or netted then can be left out of the rain and with full air circulation. As a substitute to this, heaped logs can still be covered with a tarp, but i wouldnt wrap the sides. Keeping them off the ground is a must. If you want to invest money to speed up drying you need to either be going down the route of a polly tunnel, or better still, kiln drying The investment must require the relevant amount of turnover to make any outlay viable though:sneaky2:
-
Too right Dean! The other thing happens to me a lot, is after i tip the logs out onto the customers drive, they pay up and then say; "Thanks a lot, that'll give me a nice job stacking them next week":001_rolleyes:

Mmmm, trouble is the leg loop webbing is also in the same ring:confused1:
-
Yep, its second hand, i collected it this afternoon. Just be nice to stick some horrible big conifer through it now:thumbup1:
-
Had a closer look at the label, and it does show a krab clipped directly onto the gold ring:sneaky2:
-
Ok, just to update, had a go with the "homemade" adjustable and im still here! Lol! No real problems i noticed, it adjusts easy enough, i tried making it slip but it stayed put without the prussik moving. Just need to get a couple of pear maillons now to make safer. Only downside was, it was on wednesday and i got soaked in the rain playing around:001_rolleyes:
-
Rob, not sure i fully understand what you mean, do you mean to clip a krab of a lanyard into the gold ring? If so, would that not be introducing the risk of damage to the webbing attached to the gold ring, as Tom D said at the beginning of the thread? Perhaps im being thick:confused1:
-
So what did you make of the 935 then?
-
Ok, you sussed it Frank, it was a setup in anticipation of this thread. You ought to know, it was the beast that is the 360 in his hands, and only a very select few are allowed to handle it running:sneaky2:
