There's going to be a big demand. People are buying cheap saws and going mad at cutting logs themselves over here. If fact lidl has a sale on saws and a cheap sharpener this week, and they were queued up on monday morning to buy them, all sold in 10 mins!

Where abouts in NI are you, i will sell you plenty of logs.

I bought a 372xp several weeks ago for cutting firewood, and i can't see me going back to anything smaller. I bought it for speed of use, and i'm cutting mostly between 10 to 20inch dia. It makes the job a whole lot easier and the saw's weight is not an issue unless your of slight build.
-
Can anyone tell me on average, how much does 1m3 of split and dried wood weighs?
-
I bought a new 372xp a few weeks back. I can't fault it on the size of timber i'm cutting, mostly around 10 to 20 inch dia. It's quick cutting, light and has little vibes through the handles.

Are they expensive?

Nets over here sell from £3.50 to £5 (25kg net size) I think this is a good way of selling logs, but it is a boring job bagging them. Also the net bags quickly deteriorate in daylight / direct sun if you store them outside for any length of time. Tom, do you find your logs are going mouldy in the builders bags? I have kept a bit of air between mine which seems to be helping.

I think you might be better off buying a good 13hp or so honda engine, and a 2 stage pump to speed things up a bit. You can pick both up on ebay.
-
I got around 70 of these bags for free from a dairy farmer i know, he was more than glad to get rid of them. There bigger than the standard builders bags, and have a handy flap that you can tie to keep the logs dry.

I took a few pics while running the 372xp in. They show my dad at 65+ yrs old with his trusty old husky 61 enjoying a sharp chain. PPE not on the essentials list for these old fellas lol.

Whooosh,, well impresed with my new 372xp. Nearly too good to be just used for fire wood !! Very impressed with the lack of vibration, very smooth, and it has a real bite in the last 1/4 of the throttle. It also seemed very quick to rev, feels like it would take a bar bigger than 20'' with ease. Should be a good saw when its run in.
-
Thanks all, i know you all rated the stihl 460 very highly. But my dads been using huskys without any problems for years and has talked me into buying a 372xp. Cost me £600 all in. I'm looking forward to collecting it tomorrow and seeing how it performs.
-
The price i have been quoted localy for the 460 is £635+vat, is this about right?
-
Thanks tom, i can be as rough as you like, so that would concern me. The idea of an ms880 tickles my fancy, but they look well out of my price range, might be worth saving a little extra though.. Where would be the best place to buy this saw? Is there a particular chain/saw setup hould be looking for?
-
I'm looking to purchase a new saw for cutting firewood only. I only need an 18-20 inch bar, but i want a saw that's lightening fast and powerfull. I have a husky 61 and a echo 5501 which are both good enough saws, but i would like something more commercial with a lot more grunt, that can run all day without labouring. I have upto £700 to spend
-
How much will you charge this winter for your logs? Will the c crunch and oil prices dictate the price? Nets, b bags etc
-
When i remove top soil from a customers property it's waste, but when i sell it on..has to be similar to trees etc
