The SM7 hub is .668 The SD7 hub is .750 The SD6 hub is .875 http://www.oregonproducts.com/pdf/sprockets/RimSproxFB0601.pdf

Never tried those.

Yes would be my guess. I run a 18" on my 346 for blocking down stems and too be honest it is a little too much for the saw in hardwood. If I used it more on the ground I would fit a .325 pitch 14".

Some times playing with something you know may fail is the most fun. No twisted knickers here. That is a good comparison Ian. I really enjoyed the GRCS/HOBBS vid, helped me get a better understanding of possible failures.

Did a little muffler mod on my MS192T, took out the screen and open up hole. Then trimmed the plastic side cover so it didn't need the down deflector. Didn't make it a 200t, but was a nice improvement. Now it does stall the chain in a full bar cut as easily.

If not Butter and Maple syrup, then Peanut butter here. But it was interesting to read lemon and sugar, may give that a go one time too.

Consider your self lucky. My hands sweat and make the waterproof gloves wet from the inside getting cold. Also with heated I can run a lighter glove so no bulky feeling. My 346 yes, my 372 warm yes but not as much.

Bang, how did your chipper blades fare? Or did you get to change them out again?

That was Paul's feedback the other day at the TH also when another climber talked about trying the spacer.

Saw Stuck in cut and carried away with falling branch
Reddog replied to recycledsole's topic in Climbers talk
As Matthew stated, most likely your top and bottom cut were miss matched. Where you doing a snap cut, or had you cut a notch for it to hinge on? -
LogRite is using a Super split on their cut bench, seems to work well. LogRite splitter/processor time study - YouTube

Plastic here. If I have one I know will need some hard driving, then it is time to bring out the Hard heads. They have a steel cap that takes a pounding. Tree Faller Wedges - Hard Head Manufactured with High Impact Poly Plastic :: Beaver State Plastics

That has been a problem with the Gopro's in arctic temps. Keeping the batteries and such inside your jacket helps as does using chemical hand warmers in the cooler/storage box when not in use outside.

Nice!

Loggers back problems - suggestions for healing up...?
Reddog replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in General chat
No fun at all! Not sure I know anything, just learned when to stop to keep from being in bed for weeks. -
Chain speeds were quite slow when compared to modern saws. The 1/2" and 3/4" chain these saws used left a lot to be desired even when new. Remember these were replacements for hand cross cut saws and felling axes.

You would need to add a tackifier like STP to make it work. Other than that I see no real issues using new oil. But for as little as you go through is it worth the hassle?

Hitch climber pulley and standard prusik?
Reddog replied to recycledsole's topic in Rigging and roping
Just go low and slow with any new friction hitch knots until you get a good understanding how they will work with your combo. Arbtalk.co.uk | Discussion Forum for Arborists Knots Guide Have a look through the Arbtalk knot guide. Lots of good info. -
Hitch climber pulley and standard prusik?
Reddog replied to recycledsole's topic in Rigging and roping
+1 you are safe in using a prusik and HC pulley together. What are your reasons for choosing the prusik knot? The pulley will work fine, but a prusik doesn't release well when it hits the pulley in taking up slack. That is why most of us use the pulley, to hit the friction knot and release it. That leaves both hands to pull on the rope if needed with out fussing with the friction hitch. A Klemheist will release a little but not as well as a VT. But both are directional so if using both ends of you rope they would not work. -
Have seen here in the State's were a similar unit had a chipper mounted crosswise ahead of the tipper. That allowed for curb side feeding of the chipper.

Hello, new member looking for some chainsaw advice please.
Reddog replied to mr_magicfingers's topic in Chainsaws
As others have said, 50cc to 60cc saws would cover your felling and bucking/firewood duty. Milling is another animal, while the above saws will do it. A 70cc or larger saw will make much quicker work of milling. I would advise before purchasing to go and watch someone mill with a chainsaw. It is a lot of work. If you have enough milling it may pay to look at a smaller manual bandsaw mill. Much quicker and less kerf waste. -
Thank you. A few more from this morning. Sorry about the dark pictures, my feeder is on the north side of the house so the light is limited this time of year.
