Yes and that was a reply after your first comment that had nothing at all to do with answering a question just laughing at it .... Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

It sure is I don't or didn't read in to the opening post as some one trying to get his views across... Any way life's to short , it's the weekend and I'm missing bits of my film replying to this !! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

On his right to wear what boots he wants then try and tear down and insult what some one believes ... Sorry mate he asked a question if you can't contribute any thing worth while to it I don't see the point in replying to thread. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Wow the guy only asked if any one made vegan boots! I don't think it was any moral high ground that's his belief .. It should be respected and instead got nearly two pages of piss taking. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Does the p3000 have rubber inserts for pruning or rigging off other trees? Those spikes don't look like they will be healthy if they don't! I don't regret buying the 3001 , honeys and gustarts have them on offer as well as the moment. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

That was the timber you used for the project from the FC nick , do you have an idea of age from being felled as I think its probably younger than I estimated... Glad its some use and your more than welcome to use the mill when you need some more mate. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Saw logs had been felled 3 -4 years previous and was dry and light when cut so it went straight up.. Some of the larch and pine cladding was wet but that has not moved at all. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Thanks , band saw effort definitely! Still very new to band saw milling so that was a big learning curve spent plenty of time on an Alaskan though so had a rough idea of what to do. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Maybe that last post should read 4 groundies and two climbers , not I have lol Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I like milling it , cuts nice and its light compared to other timbers...used it with larch and pine on a new shed,all the beams in top pic are all Douglas with the exception of maybe a few larch. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

On the subject of grain trailers I've filled two in a day chipping conifer with a 150 I'm talking big 20 tonne trailer and also hedge tops not straight branches. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Eddy they are good chippers if they were as bad as you say no one would of brought them though and as with any chipper with worn out rollers and blunt blades they are useless.. I've used jensons greenmechs and schliesings a well maintained and sharp 150 would run rings around in out put and chipping ability all day. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Clutch springs ?? I would check them , milling can really wear them out fast and the clutch itself I found on my 395. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Are they still doing the 2000? I thought the 2001 which is fixed replaced it, I have a 3001 and can recommend it. They seem to be on offer at gustarts and jonsies at the minute. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Well it was 3 years old and had been run hard especially in the last few months of its life, I knew it had a slight air leak but never got it fixed so when it seized I went straight out and brought another... On its last legs it was cutting 3 rings to one against a 460 on the same log been held by a crane... But that's possibly due to the air leak! I will get the old one properly sorted and ported when I get a chance or spud does. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

560 all day every day with a 15" bar its by far the best saw I have ever used, on my second and they are worth every penny. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I would just opt for cobra over bolt... I would not even consider screw eyes on aesculus ! Leaving hazards is not on are agenda either. Totally agree on the bad pruning or any pruning that's not necessary:) Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
