Hi Bob,Thanks for the info, so have you any preference out of the two types you use.
-
As above ,can you suggest a make you use and have stood the test of time,many thanks.

I ask the above, as the logs I have supplied to my regular customers have been the driest I have supplied ,due to the hot dry temps during the log seasoning period of 2022.

How much is Ash cordwood roadside where you operate?
cessna replied to cessna's topic in Firewood forum
Any update on prices for Ash or other hardwoods at roadside per tonne, would be much appreciated, thankyou. -
Since I have been using a "Sugihara Pro Solid Bar" and Oregon 73DPX chain I haven't had the problem ,as per the thread title.

The pin on the fixed end of the spitting ram on my Japa 2100 processor sheared off today. Just wondering if by any chance any one else has had the problem happen on their own Japa 2100 machine. I am wanting to know if the pin that holds the ram fixed end in place is just slid into the bracket ,welded on to the machine, or is it welded in to the bracket,or rusted solid in to the bracket. I very much doubt I will get any replies, but thanks for any info if you do reply.

Out of interest I weighed my empty pickup,on a local farm weighbridge , and again when loaded with 9" seasoned logs (approx 20% moisture). The load of logs weighed 500kgs, what I am trying to work out is how much that same pickup load of logs would have weighed if I had loaded it up with freshly cut Ash ,as bought in. I am only after an approximate figure so no need for anyone to get too technical or make a meal of it !!!!!!!! .

As above , hire of processor ,local estate come and collect with their tractor and a member of their staff operate it .

Many thanks for all of you for taking the time to reply to my topic ,which was in all honesty a bit basic to say the least🙄

I know the above is impossible to give an answer to as so many things to influence how much moisture a 4" x4"x 36" approx size wood billet will loose in such short time. The shed is a fully enclosed shed approx 60 x 40 , humidity this time of year hovers around 90 / 95 %(hygrometer in shed), so I guess wood ain't going to dry very much at all. 🙄🙄

As above . I use Solidur leather fencing gloves which I like as not too expensive compared with some and wear reasonably well ,but just wondering what gloves others wear.

Many thanks for all your replies,as been so busy I have managing with my Stihl MS362.
-
I have been told that the piston on my 550 xp is scored and so the compression is down,and probably the reason it wont start. Do I spend money on it or put the money towards a new 550 ????

Hi Steve ,thanks for posting . I have tired the reset as mentioned in your video but engine still defaults back to not starting when hot, unless I squeeze throttle to full open as I pull start cord while my foot is securing chainsaw to the ground, Dangerous !!!!!!!! I now see after Googling the problem , that the solenoids on the M tronic are prone to giving trouble. I am therefore going to order another solenoid /tank fuel filter (part no: 1140-007-1802) . Please can someone tell me of a good video that shows one how to remove the carb from an MS362C saw , replace the solenoid,and then replace the carb.

I am desperate to try and do a reset of the M tronic on my old Stihl MS 362 C saw, as after it has been ticking over for a while when warm and it stops, the only way I can start it is to " put my foot in the handle grip to secure it to the ground, grasp the throttle to full throttle, and then pull the pull start with my other hand, it then usually starts ",but a dangerous situation as it roars straight to full revs, bl..dy DANGEROUS!!! On "GOOGLE" there are so many Videos that SUPPOSEDLY show how carry out a reset I am completely confused as to what is the correct way to do a reset. So I am in desperate need of help !!!!!!!!!!!!

As above , I ask as my old Husqvarna550 xp mk1, has got to the stage I dont want to spend any more money on its recurring starting problems etc . Moving on I am horrified at the cost of a new 550 XP Mk11/ Stihl MS261, and as I am no longer doing forestry work I would appreciate your suggestions as to which chainsaw I should buy,which may be in the non -professional category, to replace my old 550 Mk1,which in all honesty has been a really user friendly chainsaw to use. (When I say cutting up firewood,I mean cutting bendy lengths of cordwood in to manageable lengths to go through my old Japa 2100 processor)

thanks for all your replies . I have sent the chain back to Chainsawbars and they are going to fit 2 extra links , as said trial and error!!
-
I have just purchased a Sugihara bar to fit on my old Japa2100 processor. The 15" Oregon bar that is on the processor now, uses a .325 chain and 64 links . The new 15" Sugihara Solid Bar uses a 3/8 pitch chain and the one that came with the bar is 56 links. Unfortunately the chain is too short to allow me to get the bar on to the saw drive sprocket which is now a 3/8 drive sprocket. I am trying to find out how many extra drive links I will need to allow the Sugiharara bar and chain to fit on my chainsaw Suggestions on how I can work that out will be much appreciated.
-
I have noticed that their is a crack in the oil tank on my Stihl 362C chainsaw,which is allowing oil to leak out the tank. Have any of you successfully used one of the so say "liquid metal" type glues , to repair a crack in a chainsaw chain oil oil tank , if so please can you tell me the name of the product you used,thankyou.

I see "Always Greener Ltd " (Sugihara Distributors Uk) own Chainsawbars Uk .

??????????

Thanks for your reply . Are 15" solid bars available with a 1.5 groove (64 links) that with a Husqvarna bar type fitting?
-
BAR:- Orgeon Advance Cut HD (150MPBK095) CHAIN:- Oregon 95txl ( 15"/.325/1.3/64 links) I am hoping the bar above will be made of slighter harder steel, as used on a firewood processor. Despite running chain slightly loose bars still seem to burr over quicker nowadays. I do also wonder if chain saw chain oils vary in their "stickiness",theit by not lubing the chain as much as they should do.

I have recently asked several on line bar and chain suppliers if they had a certain type of bar and chain in stock. None of them had what I needed which is fair enough BUT NOT ONE ASKED ,would you like us to see if it is available and if so order it for you at extra cost. SO IN MY OPINION NONE OF THOSE BUSINESSES WERE PROVIDING A SERVICE, "but a sorry chum we aint got it policy ", what an attitude to encourage new business ,I DONT THINK. . In the end I did say to an Oregon dealer ,"can you order it in for me PLEASE because I have spoken to Oregon Uk and they have 4 of what I require in stock", yes the dealer said we can do that but their will be an extra charge,"thats ok I said because I need it urgently." BUT WHY DOES ONE HAVE ASK IF THEY CAN ORDER IT SPECIALLY" they the dealer should be the ones trying to provide a service to the customer,I rest my case.

I ask the above as many of you cut large tonnages of logs in a year and so I thought , over the years you may have found that a certain type/make of bar and chain holds its sharpness a bit longer before resharpening, especially when cutting well seasoned wood.Thankyou for any input.
