hopefully now in the market to get myself a compact tractor, main use will be paddock topping/grass cutting, hoping to use 4 foot mower, so any thoughts on suitable machine, ie hp, 2wd/4wd, will also double up to run post knocker/possibly rotorvator/stone burier etc, loader to come at later date or maybe package with loader ? looking to spend 7k ish, any thoughts/experiences/pros/cons/makes/models:thumbup1: cheers mike

ash will suck the oil off of your bar, as others have said never let your chain oil run out before your fuel,pita i know but regulate your oil flow for different types of wood, good rule of thumb like spud said, you should see a thin line of oil appear when you run the saw near a log etc

i had same problem with my 9000, i bought a 30" oregon bar and took it to machine shop, they cut the slot out to 14mm, job done, but was 058 gauge , so new chain aswell,other option is to order 12mm studs from dolmar(got fed up waiting for mine) so went down previous route, if you are handy with a bandsaw and a file you could do it yourself, oil holes lined up ok and worked as it should
