Dave, how did you manage to get that pic of my gut?
-
:lol:

Dont think i could ever bring myself to take pop back to the yard for processing. Then again, I dont rate beech as a good firewood either, more in the league of horse chestnut.

Looks great that Tom, thanks for taking the time to take pics and post up here, sure it will come in handy for someone one day. Just one thing, most of the pics dont work for me. Was the belt totally shot or did you just feel it was time to change it?
-
Its their job!

Not sure Kev, whats happened?

As far as I know, the basic chassis of a defender has not changed in nearly 30 years:confused1:

I had a look at mine Tom and from what I see once the guards are off you need to remove the bearing housing from the end of the engine and it should come off. If you need a little more slack in the belt to get it over the pullies you may need to disconnect the engaging rod and slide the engine further across. If I were to guess, Id say it should take a max of two or three hours to do unless Im missing something:confused1: P.S, You could do a detailed report when you do it with plenty of pickies and step by step instructions, and it may be real useful for anyone else that may need help in the future:sneaky2: .

Mark, thats exactly what he was talking about! If passed it would only be on new saws "adjusted" after the law was passed, but he also added "not sure how they will police it though"!
-
Wooded, thats the type thats "illegal" now, but the guy I was talking to was meaning it would be illegal to "alter" carb settings soon!
-
Guess Im busted then if the "Mod police" come round my house!

I recently was talking to a Stihl demo guy and was telling me at present Stihl are fiddling around with micro chips to "manage" saw engines and will be very difficult to alter and tune beyond factory settings. He also added the EU are currently trying to pass a law making "modification" of saws illegal, as this will be altering emission levels that are set by the appropriate governments. Room for thought.

Hey Johnny, Im stocking up on 200's! Neither the new husky or the 201 will do for me. Get some bought while you can get a good saw you can fiddle with and isnt the weight of a blacksmiths anvil!
-
I was extracting the wotsit! You guys need to realise, all this hype is what the manufacturers are after. They will not release a date until its virtually on the dealers shelves. It all adds to initial sales. Manufacturers need this for the launch of a saw that has such a load riding on it like this one that is going to challenge the 200t(or the up and coming 201t) Hope that explains my point better, I must have expected my Yorkshire wit was a little more transparent than it was!

Rob, in that situation you could have gone much deeper with the gob than usually recommended and got into good wood for the hinge. Dont be afraid of going off the text book if the individual tree requires it. Main thing is is went where you wanted it though, so nice one.
-
Mark, the husq T540 never was. It was a figment of everyones imagination. Was all a dream that never was to come true:001_rolleyes: It appears everyone will have to make do with the worlds best ever chainsaw instead. Its called the Stihl MS200t:thumbup:

I can tell you are a farmer.

It is very unlikely to have damaged anything if its not been turned over since stopping it. Sounds to me like the nipple that bungs the decomp hole will have stayed in place while the saw was running due to the compression, even if the head of it had fallen off. Once stopped the nipple may have then fallen inside the pot, therefore the only damage likely to be caused would be by trying to turn it over. Personally, if this is what has happened I would still take off the pot and inspect, unless you are absolutely sure you have all the bits of the decomp button, and it hasnt been turned over after stopping it.

Tells me a lot about how he looks after his gear!

Yep, nice stuff worth a few quid when you get a market for it. Some turners specialise in it and will pay upto £30 per log for knotted logs. The higher logs are best as the lower branches are usually removed and dont have the colours. This lower timber can be milled and plamks can bring upto £25 each. As for spikes, only the dead ones will give you trouble. Just wear leather gloves and chip all the branches. As for sap, debark the stem then cut. Around 90% of the sap is in the bark, so once its removed the logs cut and stack fine. All in all, can be a nice profit from the arisings. Go for it!

Also, when pulling the heap together try and scrape rather than slice, if you get my drift. Use the blade in a more vertical manner, you arent trying to "pick up" the clay at this point, only grade it off into a pile. Worth a try anyhow, but dont shout at me if it doesnt work:blushing:
-
If you have a chice of buckets Dean, use the biggest possible then scratch a heap together then scoop it up. Try an avoid getting the bucket filled from the solid heap in one go. A bucket full of small bits will fall out easier than a single lump. Hope you get what I mean:blushing:
-
If you logged it, it would be ideal for the Harrogate market:lol: I hear Yellow Ash is the up and coming firewood:sneaky2:

From 24" upto 50" DBH Johnny. It would be perfect for you:thumbup:
