think there is a dead 285 under the bench at my local saw shop, will check next time i'm there...
-
i'm sorry to break this to you mate.... but that saw is orange! most huskys are in fact, but its not a widely known fact, so i'll let you off:001_tt2: 2100 excellent saw, old-school muscle... but take care of it, parts are a mare to get hold of (couple of generic parts like sprockets available from baileysonline, otherwise there are used spares on us ebay fairly regularly... chainbreak parts are like hens teeth tho). shares all but the top-end with the husky 285, and is pretty much identical to the 1100, 2101 and 298.. there might be a 285 carcass under the bench of my local saw shop still, i'll check for you next time i'm there for dawgs

riko have a couple more second hand ones advertised, newer bigger hp ones... more moolah, but oh so shiny
-
maybe a vw caddy/skoda felicia pickup... the cost effectiveness of a small van, but able to carry a few logs, in the past i've delivered countless loads of firewood in a mk 1 caddy, ahh simpler times
-
yep, as tom quite rightly said, and i should have mentioned... of the 2 arb suppliers based in tavistock, one could be described as being a bunch of pirates... and the other folk dont know their arses from their elbows... but they do both sell arb kit
-
excellent, congratulations fella:thumbup:
-
nearest place for climbing kit is a few minutes up the road from mevagissey... cornish industrial supplies- 42 polkyth road, st austell, they apparently have a selection of arb gear, but i have never actually been there myself... for a full range of climbing, rigging, and forestry gear, plus saws and machinery, you'd have to go a bit further afield... tavistock chainsaws, or abbey garden in tavistock... or abbey garden in plymouth. enjoy your stay in cornwall:001_cool:

standard hinge with summit tucked into the fence side of the gob then...
-
what mr bolam said... tapered hinge... with maybe a little something tucked into the fence side of the gob?

anyone used a Turner 10" pto wood chipper ??
tree_beard replied to combined tree services's topic in General chat
Bandit PTO Wood Chipper 250xp on eBay (end time 14-Apr-10 10:51:55 BST) possibly too big for a mog (bear in mind i dont know owt about mogs or pto chippers for that matter...) but hows about a big fat shiny bandito dave? -
not a workshop repair manual... but here is the makita/dolmar 4600 illustrated parts list, should help http://download.dolmar.com/manuals/17762.pdf welcome to the site btw

Double Fisherman's Loop instead of spliced eye...
tree_beard replied to paradise's topic in Climbers talk
double fisherman's with and extra wrap... is that then not a triple fisherman's? just to avoid confusion... (or maybe just to be pedantic:001_tongue:) -
cool, a 7 and a half grand mobile chicken coop... bargain
-
unless you were constantly blipping the throttle it still wouldnt be the best idea for the saw... bit like limbing a felled pine by holding the throttle wide open and walking down the trunk... saws is saws, hedge trimmers is hedge trimmers:001_smile:
-
looks like a reasonable idea... only for electric saws tho... would eventually kill a proper saw, saw carbs are not jetted to be run like a hedgetrimmer... revving away without a load on em

£148.04 inc vat from mr jones

dont quite follow you:confused1: i gots, 2-3foot dia trees 70foot tall... but i'm guessing what you are after is small diameter stuff, halfed/quartered and in say 6foot lengths? fence sized stuff i reckon:biggrin:
-
forgive my ignorance, but what size chestnut do you fency types require? i have access to a few acres of 2-3' dbh sweet chestnut, and have toyed with the idea of harvesting some and managing the regrowth...
-
i stand corrected... hedger it is:blushing: put a wheel on it it'd be and edger tho:sneaky2: either way, i'd use a ladder and hedgecutter/saw
-
ignore the comment about the little wheel, just noticed yours doesnt actually have one (doh)... regardless, edger not hedger
-
mate.... thats an edger, not a hedger! for cutting a neat line where grass meets path/flower bed... thus the little wheel for rolling along the ground. very much lawn care, not hedge cutting. waving it around in a hedge is asking for trouble, or at least a knackered edger...
-
hoss does have a fine collection, 75+% of which are 100cc plus! old-school muscle:thumbup:
-
that bar looks like some 18"ers ive had... two sets of tensioner pin holes big and small ( i assume there are saws with bigger tensioners that require the bigger holes)... if your tensioner pin fits in the smaller holes that should solve it... 68links is what it 'really' takes. as for the oil hole, likely drilled larger to get better flow... .325 vs 3/8 chain... in a 60cc saw it depends what you use it for... .325=more (smaller) cutters, will be smoother in the cut and probably faster limbing and cutting 'hard' hardwoods 3/8=less (but bigger) cutters, more robust chain taking a bigger bite, probably faster cutting with the bar buried or for softwood
-
too cool mr t:thumbup1:
-
hmmm, local saw dealers to me cant get it, my main dealers oregon rep said they dont 'do it' over here.... so i assumed it was the same the country over... i get mine by the roll from baileys... can you get hold of stihl skip/semi-skip? that'd sure be nice:001_rolleyes:
