I tend to do 3". Gives you a few more options when resawing.

Yes I have got to defeat some sort of general drone. Can't do it. It may result in throwing lap top in frustration.

SC is always a bit shaky. If its ring shake then your more than likely useless. Star shake is a bit different but in SC it's still a pain but you can do more when cutting it. This is a bit of SC felled a few weeks back for milling. Ring shake at the butt end. Be chasing it back till its gone. Most of the SC i fell is 18"-48" for the mill found the younger stuff moves around a lot on the saw. I do mean a lot i've had 3" set on the band saw guide but the tension in the log pulled it round so one end was down to about an inch. You can get a 4x4 out of a 5" log if you don't have a bandsaw and don't mind a bit of wane on the edges of the post.

I posted before you said it was a camper.

To come home with some money you won't want to be traveling more than 50 miles.

I hate high pruning. Pole pruners have the worse vibration of any tools they can get bent very easly as you often try to one more big limb. Get a nice silky on a stick keep it sharp. Keep the cuts clean and acurate.

I thought it was the cold wet winter:001_tt2: I've alway got the xpg versions for the HAVS benifits. Always get mocked for it. Even all the dealers ask why do you want the XPG version. It's an extra 50 quid and it really saves off the havs and keeps the gloves dry.

I mill a lot of SC posts. from 4x4 to 12x12s They last very well post on the estate that have been in the ground 30 years, which is about their max life. Just be careful about milling 10-18" coppice stuff. It springs all over the shop you won't get a straight post out of any of it. Cleaving might be the best way.

The Computer is Dead, Long Live my next Computer! Help!

I have an ASUS laptop. It's fantastic. Two years old now i think i think it came with 3 years of warrenty. -
Not a clue Charlie. It's all i've used. Use it a lot on scrub on chalk grassland so LOTS of flint. Holds up quite well. If you push them to the limit of what the machine will handel you do blunt them quite quick. I was felling 6" stuff with on a 345Rx and it wasn't saying as long as if you were doing 3" stuff. I love using the clearing saw if you get lots of scrubby trees by using different bits of the blade you can pull the butt towards you or push it away. It makes for nice lines of little trees all chopped down. Doing felling cuts with them is a bit of a pain.
-
As above day rate for felling and volume for extraction.

what is the world coming to a tree surgeon stabbed!
Brushcutter replied to tree man john's topic in General chat
I saw that too. He was stabbed in the head with a 8 or 9 inch knife! Poor guy wish him a speedy recovery. Hope they catch the woman who stabbed him too. -
I use the Husky Scarlett blades. Hold an edge well stand up to working on chalk grassland.
-
Never felled Hemlock. I find the Orange or Yellow tinted safety glasses make working in the dark dark woods that much easier as you can see.

Tractor weighs in a 3.5T and thats a 10T trailer behind it. Probally close to a full load too. The mile on the road was least unpleasent.
-
Few pics from forwarding today. Barely got out with the second load Up the hill in Crawler 1 4wd and diff lock. Also one rather high stump that someone will be getting a word about! Got the trailer crane round to roof mount 'o' clock without hitting the frame which was great. Quite bright today so everything is a little over exposed.

They make a 576 xp a 576 xp auto tune a 576xpg and a 576xpg auto tune. The XPG versions are not in production yet when my dealer rang Husqvarna to find if they had any. Also if you want any Husky saws with heated handels good luck. I have 357 and a 390 which have been on order for two months. The UK allocation of heated handels is not very big.
-
The 372 is a fantastic saw. I'd have a 576 which is an amazing saw. A friend fo mine got it and i borrowed it for a weeks felling. With the 24" bar on it was slightly nose heavy but still had the power to use it. 20" was a great balance and 18 was engine heavy but it flew through the wood. The 372 is knackered and will be replaced with a 576 when there are some XPG versions with auto tune in the country.
-
I get mine from clarke's forest. 20" pro lite was about 30 quid 20" Power Match was about 45. Check their site for the spot on prices but i think they're in the right ball park. You could always use the bar for cutting around corners.
-
The pro-lite bars are good They're cheap which is the best thing in their favour i have a few. I personally prefer the power match plus bars. These have a replaceable tip. I find these suit my cutting. I've got one bar thats had 3 noses on it and the rails of the main bar are still in good nick. Downside is that they are about twice as much as their pro lite counterpart. Last nose i got was about 40 quid. However a 40 quid nose on a 36" guidebar is much cheaper than a new 36" guide bar.

I don't know if Bosch do an intergraded unit but i've had my standard Bosch dishwasher for 7 years or so and its still going strong.

Thanks for posting this. I'm looking into getting this done on my new Navara.

No barbers chair. Nothing a bit of winching couldn't of sorted. Just shows the benifit of a bit of training.

compl 503 62 86-71WRAP Thats the part number for the 372 full wrap handels. Seems the 357 has had them taken off the parts list. If you dig around you may find it in an old one.
-
As is their new top handeled saw. I'm going to send Husky an email see whn it is being made. It could be that thery're not making any for the UK market at the moment.
