That is what I use mine for. Daft thing is that the Stihl saws don't require grease for the sprocket nose....

Generally speaking, you will get quite a bit of movement on timber over 12% MC. It's very very difficult to get air dried timber that dry, and just about impossible in Scotland. Jonathan

I must have cut thousands and thousands of trees down by now, and I've never seen anything like that. Excellent!

How wide are we talking Tommer? Any preference on species, and what sort of lead time would be acceptable?

Watch out, watch out there's a Dave about !!!

Camel or medium sized shire horse

Such slander! I must admit after hand cutting and splitting 6 cube earlier in the week, I was really feeling it yesterday. It's the yew that killed me - if it weren't such a wonderful firewood, I wouldn't bother.

I split a load of Poplar today - cleaves far better than anything I've ever split, including ash! Looking forward to seeing how it seasons - it's fairly light and I imagine that it will burn quickly once dry. Jonathan

79cc Tom It's the DCS7901 and it's a saw I'm very quickly falling for. I bought it used, so it's run in, but it starts on the button (third pull out of the box when I got it), have never cut out whilst idling and has oodles of power. It's really a Dolmar anyway, not a Makita. It's still the wrong colour though! Jonathan

Not very nice about his spelling are they?
Big J replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in The Lounge
I make no apologies for the fact that I find lazy typing and poor grammar to be one of my pet hates. Many of the internet browsers have an integrated spell check, and basic punctuation isn't difficult. Language, done badly, can be alienating and entirely self defeating. What's the point in trying to communicate if few people can understand? -
It's got mud terrains on it

Wise move Robert - the forecasters are talking about the first snows next month with a worse than ever winter! You could sign write it for winching careless people on summer tyres out of ditches in the snow!

That's really rough Mike - I'll keep an ear open.

Sweeeeeeeet! So you didn't sell it then? Have you dropped a diesel into it yet as you were threatening to do?
-
Might be worth milling - supposedly quite durable.

Make sure that along with the Magnum Doggs, you order part number 4242 - LED underlighting. Fits beautifully underneath, giving a classy orange glow perfect for impressing the honeys.

At least the lad is donating the proceeds to charity!

As soon as I saw the title of the thread, I suspected it would be regarding those bridges. If we could implement just a little bit of that same long term foresight and general altruism in this country, I think we'd be in a much better state. Jonathan

I think you are missing the point gents - how else is a self respecting chainsaw operator supposed to pimp his saw? Adding a tricked out set of doggs is big bling, init!

I had an argument with a lollipop lady this morning. She made me cross.

Thank you for a good chuckle!

One of my favourite timbers certainly. On any given day thinning, you'll knock out 2-3 tonnes more in sycamore than beech or oak because it's generally so clean and straight. Burns hot and slowly, dries quickly and splits easily - what more do you need?

346xp. It will handle the larger trees when required, but is perfect for coppice work.
