It's taken a while - we now have 1/4 drive sprockets for the 540XPs. These are exclusive to us. No one else has them in the world (as we developed the mold for them). What this means is you can run 1/4 .043[1.1mm] chains on your 540XP. AND you could also run carving bars - the sprocket will run both 1/4 .043[1.1mm] and 1/4[1.3mm]. Find the sprocket here: 5774897-08Q Spur Sprocket 1/4 x8 tooth [Husqvarna T540XP, 540XP Mk I, II, III] WWW.CHAINSAWBARS.CO.UK 5774897-08Q Spur Sprocket 1/4 x8 tooth [Husqvarna T540XP, 540XP Mk I, II, III].

I wonder if Milwalkee will catch on 20% off arbtalk discount only use the Coupon MILK at checkout. This cannot be applied retrospectively ie. 'Hey I bought a bar and chain last week but saw you were doing a deal on arbtalk - can I get that discount applied?'

I'll do this is prob best course of action.

It wasn't torn open or anything like that it seemed pretty intact other than the hole in the front - as it's been moved the hole looks bigger than it did because of the body decomposing.

Ahh I should of said as well it was in a hole (I'm planting some walnut trees in this area) - I know it could of fallen there but I'd say more likely it was put there.

It didn't look like any parts were eaten..

Yep feet def there and pretty sure the head - it's decomposed but nothing seemed to have been eaten

Good point.. It's more because the guy who used to manage the estate said it was a bullet hole - he has a gun and seemed to be pretty certain.

I'm not sure I didn't check the other side

Good point - I didn't check for an exit wound but the bullet hole in the front chest I'd say it would not have survived that. In a small hard standing area off road can see that a vehicle got very badly stuck so that could of been them. It must have been a very tough job getting it out.

They can be but hopefully me reporting it and not owning a gun would make it difficult.

I bought some woodland earlier in the year - yesterday while out walking I noticed a dead owl in a ditch.. turning it over it had been dead a while (2 weeks) and a bullet hole in it's chest. I've taken some pictures and will inform police. Also will likely put a camera or 2 up in this area - any other advice or thoughts on this? I don't own a gun and know very little of how they are licenced but am assuming shooting on someone else's land without permission is a fairly serious offence.

There are lots of varieties of chains with the same pitch and gauge - this has a shorter top plate and is unguarded compared to the Oregon 25AP and Husky chains.

Yep it seems that way! I don't get why Stihl would do this as they've been making this chain for many years - the onyl reason I can think of now one makes anything similar so they feel why not.

This is what the carvers use as has a shorter tooth - but Stihl put the price of this chain up by 50% at the beginning of the year for no particular reason that I can work out.

Yep we are sort of there in that - it's trying to finish it off as the admin is massively tedious, we have a new website coming and.. it's hard to promote it but you'll never now change what the different manufacturers do as far as their product range is concerned.. We have the Tsumura in 3/8 lo pro where all bars should match drive link counts across all manufactuers. ie (we have 10"-18") so Echo 12", Husky 12", Stihl 12" -all carry the same chain (and each chain is even and has equal left and right cutters without a double left or a double right). So if you run different saws you carry the same chains for each length of bar.

It's been 6 months since last newsletter - that has got to change! News - we are revamping the CSB website and we should be able to re launch the new version around Feb/March 2025. Now to around July 2025 and when it does launch it will be alongside the existing one... still lots to do and it's about as interesting making a website as it is doing newsletters! The end result will be very slick! We have loads of stock to clear but it's tricky knowing the best way of doing it with so many chains - as a starter we need to sell all the .325 .043[1.1mm] chains that are guarded to make way for the unguarded version which will be unique to us. Buy 1 and get 2 free - yep makes them pretty much disposable find them here. Use voucher code 325 in the basket and it should take off 66% of the price on these. These take up so much space so get a bargain - £160+vat off - find them here: Eco-42 42″ Ecomill Eco-8ft-J 8ft 1st Cut System [Comes as x2 joinable 4ft sections] Eco-V Vertical Mill [for bars up to 25″] Eco-AO Eco Oiler FREE WINCH KIT!

Forget the climbing stuff and sell a lovely range of chainsaw bars Failing that sell what they are already selling but in a better way and be the best at it.. branching out into climbing stuff (when they know little about climbing stuff themselves) seems bit random and a good way to dilute their business.

Hi Mick is it this one?

Finally got round to taking pics of this - 100th Anniversary set ONLY ONLY for large Husky saws so: Fits the following chainsaws: HUSQVARNA 61, 64, 65, 66, 70, 77, 160, 162, 163, 180, 181, 185, 260, 263, 266, 268, 272, 280, 281, 285, 288, 298, 365, 365XP, 371, 372XP, 380, 385XP, 390XP, 394XP, 395XP, 562XP, 575XP, 576XP Click here or below to find it. You get a thermos flask with TSUMURA on it, a couple of Keyrings, custom engraving on the bar mount - and a few of these have a Carbon Fibre in fill instead of resin (only around x6 have this and if you get one I would advise not using it as could be collectible one day!‘ No.1,No.11,No.22,No.33,No.44, No.55, No.66,No.77,No.88,No99 and No.100 will be special bars’). To my knowledge Tsumura have not done anything like this before...Use code 100TH  as a coupon code to get this anniversary set for the same price as the bar alone. I don't know which bars have the carbon fibre insert but if you get the No. 1 bar I'll swap you x3 of the generic bars back for it!
