390xp will pull a 36" chain. Its abit tip heavy and doesnt have the obvious grunt of a 660 but it will do the job. I think if you were bucking large logs alot or climbing with it, a 660 is better balanced and faster, but for just ringing up stuff on the deck its fine. I bought a 36" to avoid the expence of forking out for a larger saw and for the times I need a 36"bar, its more than adequate.

Did I really spend 5 minutes reading this thread...maybe it was all a nightmare Heres something far more interesting [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1VEY7ndKCs&feature=related]YouTube - Watching Paint Dry[/ame] -
I thought the 35C14 has a GTW of 7000kg and can tow 3.5t. Though thats for dropside/tipper not sure on the other outfits.

Yes its the ultimate derail...so what? If someones looking for a chipper the clues in the title and all the relevent details are in the first post.

Do you use skype or have it installed on your toolbar as that could be your problem.

Yeah thats looks terrible. I would of thought the splitter head was forged from a lump of solid hardened steel or similar. Im not sure how it is for other makes,but standard cast alloy (if that what it is) dosent seem the obvious choice for something which is subject to constant repeated pressure. Of course I could be totally wrong and they've never had a complaint.
-
Thats just what i didnt want to hear. Lets hope its a one off and gets sorted asap or it sort of defeats the object of spending the time and money sourcing something that you think is reliable. I could understand if it was a chinese copy.
-
Thats why i liked the A12 1000 as it had an adjustable table I could bust bigger rings on the deck and still work at waist height for the other stuff without totally knacker my back, but from what everybody says it dosent sound very portable to bring along to jobs.
-
I notice your wearing defenders..do you find them loud or just the constant drone abit irritating
-
How do you find moving it around as the one A12 is something like 290kg (petrol). Depending on how there balanced I dont think i'll pull it up my 8ft ifor ramps without an electric winch.
-
I like the spec of this splitter, does anyone use one of these models and if so how do you find them/would you reccomend them and do they have enough grunt at 12t for general arb waste. Cheers

If youve got it bad andif you want a remedy, after work take some travel sickness pills. Cinnarazine (stugeron) is good for motion sickness/vertigo etc...though dont take them whilst at work as they can make you drowsy. I use to get exactly the same thing when I first started, though it has worn off somewhat in time.

3 books worth a read.. For a very good practical guide has to be the "BTCV woodlands" handbook it covers a great deal in every aspect of woodland management. For coppice, the FC's "The silviculture and management of coppice woodlands" does what it says on the tin , and also the FC's "Creating new native woodlands" for an overview on woodland categories and appropriate species dependant on location.
-
Mine did exactly the same thing. It started to fray and break where it contacted the unit so I just made it shorter and it still worked perfectly. Though now the wires going a second time I will need to replace it as there wont be enough left if i shorten it to get that springy action.
-
The saws got plenty of power but I dont like the bumper spike design. I find they dont dig in the wood as good as say stihl and the rolling chain catcher gets in the way especially when your trying cut a flared butress or just thick uneven bark/trunk. Im gonna get some oversized spikes from baileys to remedy the problem.

Should'nt that picture be R18. Im off to puke.

Let em have it boys - let rip on this ebay joke!

Reduce the size of the space you've got to heat....if possible. I used to split my garage in two when woodturning in the depths of winter with a thick polythene sheet which would un-rolled down from the ceiling.
-
Yeah many people bang on about hollow grind etc as the holy grail of grinding your blades. I grind using a ceramic microcrystaline wheel on a standard bench grinder which cut cool and very fast. Never had a problem, ever.
-
I buy saturn blades, there fine but I sharpen them my myself...a 5 minute job & saves time and having rely on someone else.

Politely tell him to naff off when youve got plenty of work to fall back on, otherwise forget the moral high ground & take the money and run ..unless the world and his dog is gonna see the truly shocking results of your handywork and your reputation would be in ruins... as for his chums, thats a non starter.... Just cause people are loaded doesnt meant they like to part with their cash

what if you 'left' click the attatchment which should open the file , and then try and copy or save it .
-
when you say you tried to copy it what did you do.
-
I think the stihl bars knacked. Look at the nose theres a nice chunk of paint missing from an otherwise clean bar at the top tip . Its probably been leavered out of something and resulted in a banana bar . I cuts fine until the whole bar is in the wood like most bent bars. Im sure the oregon does cut quicker but that 026 is pitiful.

....and if all else fails and your desperate... use a big flatblade screwdriver and hammer and whack it off with one sharp blow.
