But not sure if the Stihl ones may be interchangeable? So you don't have to buy a new system for each size chain.
-
The pferd ones are pretty much identical but are £38-00 + vat. So the Stihl ones are better value. I've used the pferd ones for the last 6 months. They do a great job... .... but one thing is you need to buy a seperate set up for each size chain i.e. you can't just put different size files into one and use that you need the one for 3/8 chain and a seperate one for .325 etc. But still an excellent tool

I've spent a long long time looking into narrow kerf bars but logosol are the only ones who do them. They also do the the picco chain and drive sprocket. But there is nothing standard out there for running on the 880 in 3/8n lo pro. The best bet is just to get a 660 to go with the logosol set up as if you're just doing smaller stuff then the drop in power wouldn't be noticed.

No Tom we daren't go there again! Ho ho!

Great stuff! Liking the furniture - wish I had the patience for joining stuff but an impact driver and bolts do a great job. Ash butt looks good - but plenty sawdust and fumes I bet!

Beech burrs are lovely. Do you have (or know someone) with a mill so that you can plank them?
-
Excellent! Shows that we deserve some merit for the skills we use everyday! Well posted!
-
Sounds good what you're doing. I'll keep an ear to the ground if I hear of anyone who may be suitable. Any chance of seeing some furniture pics?
-
Took me a while to get my head around burrs.... Take some pics of the ones you've found and put them on this thread.

Not sure but one company contacted me and it sounds cheap for the wood i.e. 38 E per cubic meter but then it would cost another 38 E to bring over so 76 E which going to be around £60-00. I've worked out it costs me £40-00/£50-00 to split and dry a cubic meter (as long as I can get the wood easily/cheaply). I think if you want to sell all year round increase your storage area and stockpile more.

I have a 390 and found that I go to clean the air filter and there's hardly anything there to clean! On the 880 there is this problem though and it has already been discussed before in length. But fitting all the additional foam inserts etc I found seemed to suck a bit of power from the saw. I like the look of the air filters on the new MS261 http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/chainsaws/18026-ms-261-reveiw.html I bit they keep all the dust out.

He's certainly focused on his job !
-
Unless all you're doing is light pruning you'll have to buy a 200t as well. I have the ground variety i.e. 192 and it's a good little saw for carving but struggles with anything over 8" or so
-
Some loverly stuff there... So smooth and shiny I want to pick it up and touch it !
-
Cracking piece of wood and personally I like the bark on the legs. It's a bit different and goes with the top. I'm liking the spaulting though. Very nice indeedy

Count me in for an actual clip round the ear and the knife! -
Always worth trying a new spark plug before anything else even if you see that there is a spark there and the plug looks clean.
-
Not really.... You're not making a lot of sense?
-
Why is that rubbish?? There are hundreds of thousands of big trees where I live.
-
There's plenty of big old beeches out there... why does it matter taking this one down whether it's healthy or not Surely it's the deforestation in other countries that we should be worrying about.
-
Ever wondered about sharpening an old circular saw for firewood production.
Rob D replied to Frank's topic in Firewood forum
That looks insanely dangerous But he still has all his fingers though.... -
Great pics and rather you than me that must of been absolutely stinkin' !!
-
That's pretty bad... and very funny!
-
Not a lot of work down there....

Before you commit yourself I would try and get some experience of working with a tree surgery team to make sure you like the job. If you still like the idea then you could do your CS30/CS31. Still liking it then do the climbing but my advice try before you buy
