to read the rpm you need a tachometer (suitable for 2-strokes and able to read up to the rpm range you are looking for). either a wireless unit you hold near the sparkplug, or a wired unit you clip to the ht lead. stihl make a couple of tachs... about £80 if memory serves

i think you may have seen the tipping pickup bed liners that are common in the u.s... you might be able to get one of them for a ranger? doubt you'd have much payload left mind this kinda thing - [ame] [/ame]

camp bed, torch, bucket and thermos

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7vHqykSzG0]YouTube - Die neue STIHL Akku Motorsäge MSA 160 C-BQ - Video .....................Oeni[/ame] not my cup of tea... i might buy one once the planet is sucked dry of oil.... but there will likely be more pressing matters...

stihl's battery saw is out in germany and should be here sometime this year... Akku-Motorsägen | STIHL

read this and practice..... http://www.stihlusa.com/information/STIHL-Sharp-Advice-Saw-Chain-Guide-Bars.pdf

afraid i dont have any, but it might be handy to know that the 257, 261 and 262xp all wear the same dogs... good luck in your search

ha, revolver was to kabbalah what battlefield earth was to scientology... not just a moronic excersise in tedium, there's a powerful religious message there man:001_rolleyes:
-
not so much... who told you that? ethanol shouldnt damage mag at all, it'll clean oil off it nicely tho
-
palms are pretty acidic
-
clean it properly afterwards and it should be fine... leave it a week with compacted chips, dust and gunk under the clutch cover and corrosion will follow.
-
plastic crankcase saws for palms... or cut enough of them to buy new saws once a year. Ive only ever seen pics of palm rot in magnesium but its quite dramatic... concrete floors can also corrode magnesium, i've picked old saws off garage floors and the base is like swiss cheese

thanks for the stein input guys, new zubat blade it is... and thanks for telling me all about your silky collection/aspirations rob, that was great:001_tongue:
-
nah mate, popular firewood trees... ash perhaps:biggrin:
-
My silkys are getting a bit tired, so looking at options... Whats the verdic on the stein offerings? There was a rumbling of excitement when they first came out, but i cant say i've heard any real feedback on them... Worth getting one, or spend the same on a new zubat blade?

Hand Winch - Is a Tirfor the only choice?

ive got a battered old TU16 with 15M cable if you ever want to borrow one fella... -
i'm certain its a 285... anyone with a 2100cd 298xp or 2101xp would be well advised to buy it for spare parts, hard to come by and awesome family of saws
-
tete is my hero
-
is that not a 285?
-
i might... they look cool:001_tongue: i thought maybe for taking a few inches of wire filled stump down before grinding... or for chopping up stumps that had been dug/winched out... its all conjecture anyway, but the bar and chain combo does raise questions.. and the saw certainly doesnt look like a 'only baught to cut up one big fallen tree' bargain...
-
looks more abused than used to me... fitted with a hardnose bar and having a loop of tungsten tip chain makes me think that that its had a hard life cutting less than 100% clean wood... stump saw maybe? either way, for £500 i wouldnt bid on it without having a good look at it first
-
maybe it recently became unclogged, and is working properly again:001_tongue: oil is your friend
-
yes please:thumbup1:
-
mine have always used that much oil, as long as its not using more than a tank of oil per tank of fuel then its fine.
-
ms380 and ms381 are the modern updated versions of the 038, available in the third world... and australia good old-school torquey saw, and will run on watered down third world petrol... i'd rather a 044 any day tho
