sorry with 2 weeks off with flu and not feeling like doing anything and the last weeks storm damage I ent had time to do anything so I will post 2-3 vids for now of different saws milling first vid is a old husq 298 on a 36inch bar very good saw to use for milling this was the first time I really running after fitting new parts 2nd is a 660 in dead elm on a 30inch bar 3rd is a 076 on a 48inch bar taking the first cut and 4th vid is me and agg221 on one of are milling days

Me and wolfie had a good one yesterday There was nothing aboth this tree no rigging point no anchor point everything was on the level Job was to do as little damage to the chestnut it was hung up in We got to 1.30 looked like we was not going to get this tree done in a day I was getting *****of with this tree so ended up cutting the but and crashing the whole lot out :lol: didn't do much damage to the chestnut just 26inch branches we had to clean up

:lol: How u getting on with it Matty

Iv used the new TP160 had it on demo for 2days and I would buy a TP160 over a TW150 any day The to 160 just eats wood letter box infeed IMO its just a better machine for a groundy to use Not used the new greenmechs or a new bandit but so far the TP160 is the best chipper iv used If I was looking for a new chipper I would be booking demos in

I'd go for a jo-beau as iv got one great machine But that bandit looks good

you mean this rod http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/milling-forum/67399-homemade-chainsaw-mill-3.html

One more

I payed 100pound for mine

im not that good mate :lol:

do u think that parcel is fragile mate :lol: I would be scared to pick it up

it will be 46inch with a roller noise chainsaw bars (rob d on here im shore he will be along soon ) nice one Alec cheers mate

also bear with me spud said I swear a lot witch is true but my spelling is ******* also also anyone with a 056 that mills would be great as a input cheers martin

would u feel better if I posted the pic of ur 076 pair up the next report im going to do is a 660 then husq 298 the best bit of advise I can give anyone who has a small saw and wants to go bigger or learn more about milling is to work with over people that mill weather its grandberg chains, the saws u use the jacks u use to move timber or the nice small things u use like chainsaw bandsaws. u learn so much form the people u work with im all about speed as im a subbie and alec takes more time over things than I would, he has nothing to do with arb (no a fence mate) but he really knows his stuff iv leant a lot from him and now he uses granberg chain witch he never before he worked with me can u do a report on the 051 Alec as iv never milled with one

best pen iv ever got is from scag I will dig it out and post a pic ps I hope to get a pen from dean Friday

the only thing about the master it looks over loaded quicker but it ent if u no what I mean good van iv had her 5 year ent cost me a thing

I new if I got u on board Alec it would be good just trying to help people out mate Your rite the 070 is urs as far as a 48inch bar goes I would rather buy a 52 inch GB bar it roller noise and more solid the stihl 48 is a good bar but its hard noise and don't think it runs as well as a roller noise

for the first report the 076 its a great saw everyone iv contracted my self out to it has work well for cut big timber ( cross cutting ) its just a saw u have to be quite fit /strong with ,if your a small bloke u may struggle to use it right as a milling saw the 076 is great so much power I use a 36,42 and 48 inch bars for milling it will take a bigger bar but I think these bars are the best bars to fit to this saw the main bar I use on the 076 is a 42inch bar for cross cut and mill it just really seams to likes this bar its not to small not to big just rite this saw is a great milling saw only 1 thing wrong with it witch does not make it the best saw I have for milling when u get to the last 2-4 cut depending what size boards your cutting is the exhaust point down wards witch means all the saw dust that is on sprocket side starts to get thrown up in your face witch u don't get on a stihl 441-460-660 -084-088 husq 298 etc but a fantastic saw for milling big wood to 48inch bar and to be fair if it was the only saw I had for milling I would be happy

:lol: **************** cheers Steve

the 070 is just about to be broke in mate at the mo the 076 gets hit had that's some nice timber josh

iv seen this Q's pop up quite a lot what saw do I need for milling, what's the best saw for milling , what saw do I need for milling and will this saw take this mill so thought to help some people out I would try and start a what saw do u use for milling and what do u like about the saw u use some people on here may have used a number of saws for milling so there in put would be great this may not be a great idea but if your new to milling or want to upgrade ur saw this may help I will start iv used a stihl 441 ,460,660,076,070,088 and a 084 and a husq 298 for milling soon to add a jonsered 2094 to the gang seen 090 working the saw I most enjoy milling with is the 660 with a 30inch bar its got enough power it don't bog and rips at a good speed I will write a report on saws iv used but first we will see is this takes off

Some welly I milled the over day Not great but nice colour for some reason It split stared or shake

The TP was a demo machine best machine iv used rate them to anyone Jo-beau is mine and iv got a tw150

Another pic I found on the iPhone

Don't put to much metal in it this is mine took me a weekend to do 4 days in total with the paint All it's made from Is 25x25x2mm angle and 12mm ply
