    09 reg club cab with chip-box conversion; barely heavier than original butt but sags with half a load (3.6m3 box so 1.8m3 ish) chip and want to sort out; bump stops about an inch off the chassis. Mate suggested assistor springs as HD leaf springs are £1k job.. Any advice / suggestions? Many thanks.

    I've been runinng 20 LPX on my dolmar 5105 since new; are you saying that whilst the bar groove gauge is narrow the cutting kerf isn't? Interesting because I'm thinking of converting it to 3/8.

    eurof spec is 18 minimum top u/b for a 3.7 sawlog; used to be 1" deviation per metre but not so sure about that anymore and ample knots are a no. Had a heap of logs last year; firewooded the lot in the end as they were borderline rough and mill rejection was not an option! 3.7m log 18cm+ tdub 4.9m log 18cm+ tdub 4.9m log 30cm+ tdub 7.4m log 30cm+ tdub

    That's a small forwarder; lightly loaded my bruunett holds 6m3 (top diametered btw so bang on) of 3.7s or 8m3 of 2.2s...

    and yet PLY city has trees down but nothing here on the edge of the moor. Next doors plastic childs slide hasn't moved 0.7mm!

    I actually like that; only fasttrac I ever looked at with any interest.

    nothing at all (west devon / east cornwall).

    Gotcha; didn't think infected larch was allowed straight into the system. Just finished a clean larch site - fantastic processor roundwood; snapped up putting it mildly. Keeping all the lovely sub 10" DF for myself..

    PR larch for firewood?
  19. TimberCutterDartmoor
    nothing; light rain, absolutely no wind whatsover, some storm!

    Agree 100%. Went 50/50 hard/soft this year; I would give up hardwood tommorow if folks would take it but it's going to take major educational effort to get their heads to take it in; the stove shops, chimney sweeps et al tell them they must burn only hardwood

    I lost family in the Penlee / Solomon Brown disaster; I will transpose a note from my Uncle about it when I get a minute...

    I sell s/w to them so miss out the middle man if you want... Larch and douglas

    As per other thread, measuring the bar with a tape is irrelevant, for instance a stihl 16" bar comes up longer than a dolmar 16" one... Your bar has the number of drive links stamped on it - 64; .325 pitch, .050 gauge, comes in a variety of forms, full chisel (28lpx), semi chisel, micro chisel etc... Dolmars bars are shorter irrespective of the official length hence the fewer drive links.

    100's + / week healthy trees cut here. Knock em over!
