it will probably never dry dean! i know sometimes time is at a premium but i cut my hardwood (admittedly mostly clean ash,oak,sycamore 4ft long,split it with 2 mauls green,stack it off the floor quite tight and bark side up,high as you can get it,as long as its in by may its bone dry by october,and stays dry all winter in the stack

don't let my 72yr old "dyed in the wool dolmar" uncle hear you say that then again after 40yrs of them say it cos he won't hear you anyway

i wouldn't have bothered,it will break down,fall apart or be nicked before it rusts

that's worth a try,my old jonsereds used to do that regular,unscrew the fuel cap and would virtually pop in your face

i know you're right andy but got home tonight to a nasty tax letter/demand and it's the 88 or the ifor williams tipper,needs must,i'm absolutely gutted if i'm honest,to the point of being very emotional (i joke regularly but not this time) if any of you boy's after a top notch barely used 88 the e-bay number is 290278823555

quite possibly,especially cross cutting/ringing up,just watch the ground,takes some getting used to.as tree beard says i think its a torque thing.i have a 25" bar too for mine and although fun it feels awkward and harder to cut straight,better off with a 441 or 460 on 3/8.i'm thinking of selling my 88 as its use is getting more infrequent,but then i would have to change my user name to the460man

could be an old one maybe or import? not sure.i think the big husky runs a 42".i find the 48" takes alot of manouvering and very nose heavy but once in the cut earns its salt

electronic kitchen scales(wannabe chef) i'm totally obsessed with them,my mrs caught me the other night trying to weigh the new pup on them,sod wouldn't sit still so i wrapped it in a blanket and put it in a large mixing bowl,weighed it then re-weighed the blanket and bowl,it was 1.4 kilos......................i need to get out more perhaps!!

thats where the non-kevlar wellies come in,nobody knows you've pee'd yourself ............until you kill the saw and squelch down the path
