Can't disagree with that I like the older 3120's sound a bit liek an old air cooled crosser at tickover.

Rhododendron/clearing saw.
Chris Sheppard replied to trialscot's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Like the others have said - chainsaw is best way we've found too. -
I like those
-
maybe you back up too quick
-
I would say you might struggle on a small, petrol, towable circular saw type processor. for the sort of volumes you are looking to process, I'd have a look at somethign liek a hakki pilke eagle or japa 100 sawbench with corkscrew splitter, go for a petrol one and either make up a trailer or drag it onto a traielr for moving it.

Introducing the new Husqvarna 560 XP
Chris Sheppard replied to Steve Bullman's topic in General chat
TBH, that looks pretty good for a standard husky bar. -
Brian, I might know where there's a very very lightly used 3 phase Dalen that the guy could be persuaded into partign with - just outside York. Let me know if it's of interest. As far as I can see from it, it doesn't seem to be any slower than a PTO one and he reckons that runnign it on his generator it uses less fuel than a tractor would too.
-
Plenty have tried but if it worked, surely it would be in production already. The pressure required and the forces exerted to split a piece of wood that many ways in one go are huge.

Snapped a few, generally when scrub clearing and goign for it, and mostly fairly worn chains. Cracked one side tie strap once, spotted it before it snapped though. Had a fairly new one spit off once and bend a few links - never done another like it or heard of one doing it
-
All Husky bars seem to do that
-
I've not found them to be that great. I have a steel wedge that has a twist to it and found that to be fairly good on pretty much anything - billeting or gnarly rings.
-
Totally agree
-
Finally got sorted with the warranty on the Husky technicals so have gone for a set of the Husky functionals to see how they fare - they appear to be the old Pro-lights, just in a different colour. Only picked them up today so be interesting to see if they wear as well as the old style ones.

An oldie, but a goodie
-
No prob - least I could do I'll see if I get 5 min at the weekend to get a bit further with getting it in bits to see what's what and take it from there - reckon it'll have to be pretty bad to be beyond worth doing as bits seem really cheap on ebay
-
I still reckon we should make one and stick a flapper on the top
-
Can't help any more than anyone else has but what I have found is the 353's are heavy on clutch springs. Mine has always been like it and I know of at least two others the same. No one seems to have an answer as to why when they share the same clucth as some of the other saws, including the 346 which doesn't seem to eat springs Why did you need to replace the whole clutch? My 353's around 7 years old now and has been pushed fairly hard in thinnings and is still on it's original clutch (I'd hazard a guess it's had 15 or so clutch springs in that time though )
-
I really wish I was going. We were going to be driving down tonight but got to work over weekend
-
With a bit of luck then, a new set of bearings and a piston and pot kit should solve it - still thinking the 288 kit will be the way to go
-
Still not got round to having a look yet - did you manage to re use the crank or was it fubared? Chances are it was me - the scruffy one in a pair of manky saw kegs Glad it's working well for you
-
Really nice work
-
I dunno
-
I reckon All I see is a row of boxes and an "i" after the A in make Nope, just scratch me head a bit
-
I still don't get it.

Lorry load of 8' logs wanted, South Cumbria
Chris Sheppard replied to mourningwood's topic in Firewood forum
Sounds like he needs an OxTrac Smart looking skidder Dave
