Haven't heard of this before.

Ok thanks for those comments lads. I have a bungee on standby in case I end up with a load of sub 3-4" stuff on top of the piled rack. Eliminates most spin and kickback. I suppose the secret to filling any rack like this is to put the small stuff in first and leave the bigger heavier billets til last.

Rob, I notice your bottom supports sit at an angle to the up rights, rather then being horizontal. Does this help in any way. Rowan.

The last one was pretty big fell. Being that close to the house definitely calls for a little giddy relief as it successfully hits the deck with a boom in the right direction. Nice video, and nice looking kit.

Made this one for 35cm logs for the bigger stove at home. The stop block at the end helps even up the lengths more efficiently. I added a wooden clamp to this as well, it clamps the chainsaw bar for sharpening on site, a simple addition that works of a couple of hex bolts with large wing nuts. Pretty sturdy, the only negative, is it doesnt fold up for ease of transport.

never heard of root out. Sounds like the ticket though, thanks logbaron.

I am doing a little conny bashing this weekend. There is no necessity to remove the stumps immediately. I plan on cutting them down to ground level for the time being. Obviously these will decay over time (all stumps 10-12" diameter). Our there any accelerates to aid the decay process that can be purchased on the domestic market and our best suited to leylandi? Cheers Rowan.

ok another so, thanks. Hi Rob, nice website, and some cool video media on there. I would gladly give you the business if i had a uk address. another so for the up grade

I have a 261 as well, but want to balance the 2 saw's use. I like the 250 with short bar for rhody clearing etc. I am going to buy the shorter 13" bar irrespectively, so really its just a drive sprocket addition.Thanks though. I know the new 251 is def. .325 now as standard. Any older 250 seems to run on 3/8p here in Ireland for some reason? thanks though.

Hello folks Ive been trying to source a pair of chainsaw overalls (bib and brace jobbies) A good fitting size seems to be an issue. I wear 32" waist jeans with a 34" leg. Seems most pants dont cater for these measurements at all. most 32" waist pants only cater for 29 or 30" leg lengths, which means they will be right up around my ankles if i buy em. Ill have to make do with a 40" waist pair if i want a decent leg length. For any one who has the above trouser size, did you manage to get a tight fit from any manufacturer, and if so please tell us where i can look. Cheers Rowan.

I'd like to upgrade my ms250 to .325 chain from 3/8p. I realise I will need a new drive sprocket, and bar - thats cool. But a dealer I spoke to reckons the 250's oil pump wont be up to the task: I want to put a small (.325) 13" bar on the 250 when the drive sprocket conversion is complete. DO you guys think this move is feasible then or what? Thanks Lads.

first video show's the setting up of the gear, well organised crew this lot (you may want to mute the woeful soundtrack mind) second video is all about the muscle behind this crew, just watch the ground plough itself up, serious wireline tensions there http://youtu.be/rAwyUj3XeaAhttp:// and the grand finale, not to be outdone they fire a bit of 'snotty' into the old engine bowls and fire the bad boy up after 20 years deep in the peat, quite amazing really.(:lol:the brave mechanic gets gobbed on for his efforts)

Boys will be boys! Very Nice job Majectic

Ok - Im familiar with these two port holes you mention. (just never really had the confidence or need to tinker with these before). I'm sure I can't do a hell of a lot wrong if I give the LA a little tweek. I always assumed with settings like this that if you tweeked one, you would automatically have to tweek the other to gain a counter-balance of sorts? (Your method above sounds alot easier then adjusting drum brakes on the back of an old tractor!) Cheers Spud - Ill give that a go.
-
Thanks Spud, I knew yuou would be on the case mate. Yeah the compression seems the same as always, its cutting away again, but you do have to give it the odd trigger rev inbetween cuts to keep the engine alive. Yes it did die in the middle of a cut, when I first realised there was an issue. But like i said, after 24hrs it started again and does cut perfectly fine. They could have had a green apprentice on the case, the season is getting busy. I will bring it back, the only issue with that is the fact that I grabbed a bargain up in N.ireland at the time and its a 3 hr round trip, but it will go back soon.

Its a late 2010 saw, done very little work <30hrs. Well kept, dry stored, cleaned regularly, always clean mix etc. Dropped it in for a service, the idling setting needed adjustment as it wasnt ticking over correctly. Got it back, and within half an hours worth of sawing, it suddenly cuts out in mid flight. Then it wont restart. Leave it for an hour, come back and it starts on choke setting, but will not idle for a second and conks out each attempt. leave saw for a day, and it starts fine again, but will not idle properly for longer then 20-30 seconds. Wonder whats up? Is it just the idle settings need a little more tinkering. Pretty ridiculous considering its just out from a service.

Pity the picture quality aint the best. Its just too dark down and bumpy down there for a good video. Zinc and Lead ~ big operation just short 3million tons per year.

Remote control mucking would be neat to watch, I'll sort something out Im sure. Might take a while. As far as I am aware, they are very hard to get, apparently our lot come in from Dubai. (only 3 or 4 a year). Trust me dude, every farmer in the place wants one as well.

The 79 is a horse of a truck, but very bouncy alright. Granted Im going a little faster then I should perhaps, but the lower back suffers for sure.

See following thread: http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/arb-trucks/35282-our-new-79-a-2.html#post647922 [ I was asked to post up a few pictures of a new 79 pickup truck we recieved late last year for underground work inspections, I decided to get a work mate to film an assent from deep down in the pit. Boring to watch, but some of you might find a minute or two of it interesting. The last 30 seconds shows the transition of our exit back into daylight ]

I swear by this maul- Leborgne | Produits - - 3.7 kg Bursting Maul with mis-hit guard Not sure how much they cost anymore, its been that long since we bought our's. No issues with the handle, unbelievable hardened steel in the head, we have bashed that so many times with a 10lb hammer (10 years worth of firewood - the knottiest elm you can physically split by hand) and still not even a crack or a corner chipped off. Truely unbelievable, the sort of tool my old fellow will give to me for my kids one day.

Get a large splitting block of slightly wider diameter to that of the tyres internal diameter. trace out a circle of the tyres internal wall with a markers and roughly cut out a stepped groove about an inch and a half deep by whatever diameter you have left on the splitting block and wedge your tyre down on it. Try and find one of those boy racer low profile tyres with thin walls, you will fit more logs in that way, given the bigger internal diameter.
