No worries at all, it sounds like its a clean up first and then see. If it still doesnt cure the problem, and it looks like its worn or slipping on the gear, it maybe still worth considering the higher output pump, especially if you end up milling with the saw. I dont think they are any more money than a standard one, and you can always turn it down for smaller bar work:thumbup1:

Morten, has this only just started happening or has it always been reluctant with the oil, it wasnt made clear? If its only just happened recently, you've got some good cleaning advice to follow above. If its always been like it and if, as you mention you intend milling with it, you need the bigger pump as Mr McTree says. There are different output pumps. The thought Stihl had was that the UK saws would be cutting predominantly hardwoods, therefore shorter bars would be more common and needing less oil. Some of the west coast US and the AUS machines had the bigger output pump as standard, as the thinking was they would run bigger bars more often. The complete pump (AUS) is 1122 640 3201. If you dont want to buy the complete pump, you could strip your standard pump and fit piston 1122 647 0602 and control bolt 1128 647 4802 I'm only a dumb cutter and not as upto speed as the other guys, but hope my wee input may help a little.

Too right! It makes lovely firewood:thumbup1:

Very smooth Reg, nice to see.
-
If they are still worth that type of money now, I can put you onto 3 of them that are coming up for sale if you're interested. They will be a bargain at that rate, more like £3-4k each:thumbup1:

Do you have any vermeer, as it maybe more relevant to the OP?
-
For some reason fergys have always had a massive following and therefore fetch unrealistic prices. A comparable McCorrmic 414 would be more versatile, more powerful and just as reliable, but only half the price. This one looks well, with the exception of "The engine and chassis have been resprayed, and the wings & bonnet painted". Possibly tinwork prush "painted"?

TPO'd Poplars...x16 and around 100ft. Helpful suggestions please

Kill the lot! The right to light will not go well with most TO's. The other arguement(of roots lifting gardens/fences etc) will not be cured by any form of crown reduction. If anything, could be made worse. Fel, fell, fell. -
That looks very nice and tidy. How much does it weigh?
-
Most folk will say thats the profit gone then!
-
I think I know what you mean now. The answer is no though:001_rolleyes:
-
Any pics, 'cos I aint got a clue what you're on about?
-
Very true Steve.
-
I doubt there's much of an issue selling unseasoned, the problem in my opinion is sellers making out its dry and seasoned when its clearly not!

The hoops were second hand, but the cover was about £600 if I remember correctly. The tunnel is 27 foot hoops and is 120 foot long. Its about 11 feet high in the middle so plenty of room for a truck or tractor etc.

Very true, unless its solar powered like mine:thumbup1: Sure has sorted a lot of them out this year for sure. I'd say I've had 8 new customers ring this week saying their "usual" suppliers have recently been supplying "very wet stuff".
-
More to do with with excessively wet summer and winter we have had. Many producers are simply splitting wet wood that isnt getting chance to season like it normally would. Kilning is the way forward:thumbup1:

James, if you ran a cutter and a trimmer over a "tight trimmed conifer" along side each other, you would notice a difference. If you inspect leylandii(say) thats been trimmed with a cutter(of any variety) it will be "bruised". This is what turns brown in a few days/weeks, especially if its on the last trim of the season in autumn. A trimmer will leave a much cleaner cut, and in my experience be actually more hardy over the winter too.
-
James, you need to decide if you need a "cutter" or a "trimmer". Many people dont realise there's a difference. The cutter bars are different and even the gearboxes. A cutter will cope with bigger stuff, yet a trimmer will leave a better finish in general. From what treeswinger has said I'd recommend an echo, I have two and both are 2008 machines and never missed a beat. These are trimmers, one single sided and the other is a pole. My personal experience of the stihl ones is the trimmer is hopeless and the cutter is too agressive for the majority of my hedges. Years ago the best there was used to be FujiRobin. The Echo is a very close match, but engines last much longer.

I was going to post a really long winded thorough reply, but that sums it up perfectly:thumbup1: Note his comment; "Reluctant sale due to the need for a larger vehicle". I think he means he wants a truck that will carry a load legally!

:lol:

It makes very nice firewood:thumbup:
-
Haha, looks that way. I wonder if they are on upside down then? Look strange on one side:001_rolleyes:
-
Very nice truck, looks a little gem. Did you know the tyres are on back to front though?
-
Makes good firewood too!
