all sold -
all sold out now

Radmore & Tucker have got it; I asked them a good few months back very soon after the 501 was launched; website just not updated... :thumbup:
-
Ansome. I like Jack Nowell.
-
Echo 390esx or 501sx. Both great stock or modded.

How many hours worked in that "day"?

I was going to say that not offering postage means bang goes the right buyer. That saw has Shaveys name all over it, end of!

Nope! 100% nope. Everybody says that when they see the sag, but they don't know how to treat Bruunett bogies. Hub bearings are famously weak and you are advised to run tracks on a Bruunett slack like this. No, the wheels don't slip inside them, contrary to what you'd expect and the grip is phenomenal. No pressure on the bogies at all like this. I wouldn't mind them a little more snug sure, but any real tightness is a total no-no. The tracks on my harvester are very tight; Richard Court reckoned they were a tad extreme but they slip else. Promise.

Worst Environment Secretary ever?
TimberCutterDartmoor replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in General chat
Funny cos I thought OwenP was way better than LT? He took the hit after the Somerset floods despite doing good in other areas? I'm no expert. I read that LT knackered the Solar Farm thing; tbh I can't stand seeing fields covered in panels, just looks wrong. -
I have to agree re prices; Vimeks at £60k is completely ridiculous and yet there are those who can rustle up justification for such; not that I'd ever agree with such. A bit of homework and you can get an FMG / Valmet et al small and economic forwarder that will be right side of £20k. My 36 year old Bruunett cost a tenth of the Vimek and is 1000% the better machine. The Irish Falcon Forwarder or Malwa are better propositions...

Moved the bolsters as they were a tad close to the tracks when riding stumps and it ain't looking like I'm going to cut stakes ever again! So this fits chip, bar and log no bother. Frankly done with cutting anything 2.whatever anyway; most chip inc firewood is wanted at 10' now. 2 bays no longer needed...

Classic Muscle Saw; Nice One!

Liz Truss, Is there no end to her incompetence? I'm nearly a year behind in hearing about her lifting the ban on certain pesticides. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=liz+truss+approves+pesticide&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gws_rd=cr&ei=sbnrVoT0NsL_UNzXhdgC She has single-handedly trashed the renewables market too...

Harvester chain

Yes I run .404 on my harvester; Oregon 18HX to be precise... -
What do you call a banana that's been naughty?
-
Agree. Except I'm not going to get matey and put my tail between my legs and get all apologetic. I likes a damn good fight: Sod the lot of ya haha. Loving the derail, oooh I'm in the mood. Booooooooooring...

My bad; dunno if this helps: there's a 678 .pdf on here somewhere - won't let me re-upload
-
Can anyone figure out how to get the .pdf from this? 578 Instruction manual there somewhere... Thanks in advance https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=sv&u=http://skogsforum.se/viewtopic.php%3Ft%3D23299&prev=search

Sell em on ebay! Actually using them is an offence against timber!
-
I can't believe anyone actually buys / uses the stuff
-
I think you're on a road to nowhere limiting yourself to just those 2 brands; sorry but that's my honest view. Wouldn't risk it.

I did a LOT of brashing with a 5105. Shavey let me try his 115 in the same spruce; I immediately traded the 5105 for a new 115. The outbaord clutch and inner tensioner are a pita but the weight difference made me do it. They are very very close in power and torque terms; so close in fact it's probably only the mix that changes them. My 5105 was a US saw with a CAT muffler so without that it might have felt as free-revving as the 115. There's a thread I put up called "Out with the new, In with the old" about it.
-
Right on your doorstep; Shavey (the Dolmar agent) is on here and in Devon!
-
It's that German v Jap thing. Dolmar 5105 is a cracker, but the old school 115 is noticeably lighter. Echo 501 I'm desperate to own; very very sweet saw. Think Geoff on here has the 501.
