what dog/bumper spike is the one you bought, designed to fit on? if i was you i would just buy the large felling dog/bumper spike kit for the ms460, i prefer them (for ringing up) to the 066 ones as the bottem spike is slightly longer, got a similar style dog on my dolmar 153 they have them standard on the 460 rescue http://cdn-4.psndealer.com/e2/dealersite/images/NewVehicles/nv98565_0_400.jpg but you can order them from your dealer

its not that untidy, i know where everything is its mostly the remains of old dolmars get hold of a cheap arc welder and giv it ago

i put 044 dogs on my 361, they did the same, i just filled out the holes a little on the outside ones to make the even

about all of the timber we cut is for old building restorations, barn conversions and fencing materials, so a lot of the time if the cut bows a little, say if it went through a hard knot, it doesnt really matter, no one has complainted yet

nice one!!!! we bought our lumbermate second hand so it was ready built, saw those new ones at the apf and they looked sweet! Not much has changed with them though, so they must have got it pretty much right from the beginning the guy we bought it off had a trailer conversion fabricated, so we do lots of mobile sawing with it, it has a removable axle and drawbar so you it sits right down on the ground, like with your set up, ours has legs on threads that you can screw down to get it level, hard to explain, so when we get to the site it only takes us like half an hour, hour tops depending on the ground condition to get it right

THANKS GUYS! Cheers for all the great feedback Cheers means a lot to hear that, yeah i know what you mean, none of my friends are like me really, they all go to 6th form do some pointless subjects there and are now going on to uni to carry on those pointless subjects ahaa, well thats what i think anyway, because i am now doing an agricultural engineering course at college, it kind of brings out the fabrication and bodging side of me and i am trying to combine this and forestry as much as possible, i was thinking the other night of maybe doing a forestry engineering type course next year, i think barony do one, but i'll have to look into it more ahaha yeah god knows, it doesnt half throw some chips out now Yeah i wasnt sure if it was going to work to be honest, but it did a day works fine so im happy even if thats all does, but hopefully it will last umm i have no idea what rods they are to tell you the truth, there the ones ganddad gave me when he let me have the welder, they are 2.5mm not 3.2mm which is what im used to using, i couldnt believe how much harder it was with 2.5mm rods!

cheers guys! umm about 80 amps i think just cut it by eye, and made them match up with a bit of filing/grinding

i think its a very good idea to have a rescue kit, i see in the fletcher stewart catalogue you can buy just the bag for the rescue kit, so tempted to get just the bag and make up the actual equipment with buts i have kicking around

once you have one of them, you can get one of these silly things [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6awaKGfiRi8]YouTube - bündelsäge haf maschinenbau[/ame]

Dont really think that NPTC will agree with this, but anyway... After reading somewhere a while back that old timber fallers, maybe in the US, used to weld chainsaw bars together to make extra long ones, and then seeing on here that a lot of people run very small bars on some saws, i wanted to try a small bar but didnt want to buy one, so i thought i would make my own In my "workshop" i have loads of old bars (grandads and cousins old ones), some worn right out, some in ok condition but none of them are under 20" instead of going to the pub friday night i had an evening in with the angle grinder and a small arc welder granddad gave me Didnt do any measurements just cut a chunk out and welded it back together it came out so my 361 has a 10" cut... niceeee! Splash of grey paint and it looks brand new. Also made a 15" Dont have any pictures of the making of the 10" or any of the welding, but you get the idea. Did a small climbing job yesturday, so gave it a good run all day, worked a charm and cuts very very very well!

ahh i see, i did see those 122i's on there the other day , i do like the look of that 115, never used any of those small dolmars got any other small saws you may want to sell? i have never owned a husky... but theres a first time for everything, could possibly be interested in the not to distant future if you still have it

is that your ebay account tcd? ah really? missed that, i've been wanting a decent small saw for a while now, but gotta start saving up the pennys again now

high climbers is a bloody brilliant book! i love it! its one book that i could never ever get bored of

hell you should have droped me a pm i would have bought it off ya for a little bit more

got a joiner mate too, recon i can confuse the hell out of him with this

thanks guys!!! you have all given me a lot of info and plenty to think about i have thought about makita, but they are blue and they bought out dolmar so maybe they took some of the engineering along to ahahaa this is true i am used to very soild saws, i think any saw that is smaller than 60cc i would find fiddily how much you want for the 200?

i guess you've seen the one in the forestry journal classifieds could be a beast! i wondered what the tw bit was aswell

After some advice and feedback about the Ama TH2510 top handle chainsaw (25cc) | F R Jones and Son I see its a very good price, and remember seeing that a few of you guys have one as a back up or pruning saw. See i dont climb everyday, i havent climbed for a few weeks actually, the climbing i do is either knocking branches out of trees to be winched over or the odd small tree in gardens, i feel my 361 (my smallest saw) is abit big for some of these applications, i dont really want to spend a lot on a 200t, although they are very nice to use , for a saw that will sit in the shed a lot, so do you think this cheap top handle would suit me? or would it be a waste of money, and save up for a 200t? Cheers guys

mine have been washed only a few times in the past year and a bit, but they dont get used all day every day

how much would you want for that mill? nice 070 by the way

the 153 is bloody brilliant! 100cc engine with loads of torque! Runs a 36" bar easy, but been using a 25" on it a lot recently, i find it nice to fell with but maybe thats just the old school in my blood aha yeah get an 070, or an 090 if you can get your hand on one, that one has done shed loads of work, and still going strong, they are easy to maintain and just great saws all round, cheers heres some more

we still run a few oldies mine include a sachs dolmar 123, 153 and a 166 granddad still uses a dolmar cc and the stihl 070AV

i suppose your right, but i mean like the client has not got any previous quotes for us to out do

we do a lot of trees for free and keep the firewood, im not gunna lie, but we would never steal work off someone

you could be a bit more specific in what your actually after, just saying 4wd forestry tractor and 80/100 hp isnt really giving much away, what sort of age machine are you after? what make would you really like? or make you dont want? does it need to be guarded? ect.
