  1. I know- sad job really aint it!!
  2. you show me yours and ill show you mine.....:lol: you first, im shy:laugh1:
  3. it was over 3....... I winched that miles out of the wood and loaded it myself with bars, cant hooks and the winch. I then had to move the loaded trailer with the winch to turn it round (in the dark by that time) and the whole rig started downthe hill towards me. Luckily it stopped a few feet short, but my sphincter was twitching somewhat!!!
  4. I reckon the atlas are winning hands down at the mo!
  5. I find that no matter how you load it, it tows fine behind the landy.....
  6. Nice one- ill be after one round about your show....if i ever make it out of cornwall that is!!
  7. :thumbup1:I see what you mean. Mine does bounce nicely when empty, but that doesnt bother me too much:blushing:
  8. I cannot understand comments about towing better than ifors? How do you know, and how is it possible....they are identical to each other:confused1:
  9. Thyats right. Most bars are sub 5 mins on normal sharpening duties, which TBH is probably faster than messing about with the machine!!
  10. Yeah the wear mark is parallel with the cutting edge. Those gadgets are probably all slightly different, as are the filing angles of various makes and pitches of chains.I tend to use the file holder like this:Google Image Result for http://www.clark-engineering.com/media/uploads/cat-149/oregon-file-holder-165.jpg which is really all you need....
  11. If you search around, this topic has been covered in many threads before on arbtalk.
  12. If the tooth is looking too elongated you are pointing down hill too far, and iff the tooth appears to short, ie the angle seems too flat from above, you are pointing up hill too much.
  13. It sounds like operator error TBH not the file.....its the way you are doing it!! The file should be running parallel to the wear mark on the top of the tooth, and at 90 degrees to the bar. (some chains the file runs at 10 degrees up or don from the 90). TBH unless it is drastically different to the wear marks i wouldnt worry.
  14. Top stuff Paul. Excellent work.
  15. Jon- running muds will drastically reduce fuel efficiency.
  16. Just looked at the website...this is a different timberwolf to the woodcipper supplier here in the UK isnt it?
  17. Possibly because there are so many good quality machines out there already?
  18. Ah....of course.....iveco daily...ahem.....
  19. WTF is a daily?
  20. Good point treefeller- if i stick below 60 ish unladen, I can return best part of 30mpg on a good day.
  21. Abysmal mpg here. Big muds and roofrack dont help.....and heavy ish right foot lol. I dont reckon i get much, if any, over 20mpg loaded with chipper etc too. Somehow its 2.3 tonne empty too which cant help.
  22. Scary as hell!!
  23. LOL we just sold ours....my wife's.....which was a 4 wheeler, but only 2 seat and 'luggage' space.
  24. Its still only (!!!!) £65 at the mo...
