Lumberjack Pad

560xpg + 16" Cannon bar + .325 full chisel (sharpened properly) + 8 pin rim sprocket = An almost perfect felling saw!

Morning, Things are a bit slow at the moment, so am looking for anyone who might want a hand with anything from planting to cutting work and everything in between. My main area of work is Cumbria but will also consider surrounding areas. Have been running a small hand cutting/skidding/extraction crew, so my main business has been on the forestry side, but have done a fair bit of ground work for arborists. If it's of any use I also own a valtra and driven self loading trailer and a county with a 5t double drum winch. I am fully insured (PL & EL), and tickets to date are; CS 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35 PA 1&6 FMOC 1.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 & 4.1 Emergency First Aid Certificate Anything would be much appreciated! You can get me on here, or on 07796868628 Thanks, Paddy.

Run awaaaaaayyy!

Strange, I've been running an 8 pin sprocket and had no problems with it. Can't really say I've had any major problems with mine. I'll admit I didn't realise there was a way to start it warm so was cursing for a bit, and change of a spark plug to the newer type. Other than that so far it's probably the best saw I've owned! Maybe it's just the way others look after them....

An everlasting bar can go on my list to make me a million when I invent one, together with air con chainsaw trousers!! Never heard of those bars before

Cannot rate Cannon bars enough. After I went through 4 prolite in a month I swapped. First Cannon bought at last APF, and granted I don't do as many hours on the saw now, it's still fine. Replaced nose sprocket once and only just started having to dress the rails. Expensive but at the end of the day you get what you pay for. As for the power match - I have one on an older saw but never really used it much. Can't imagine it'll last anywhere near as long as a Cannon but should be a lot better than the prolite.

I'm glad you were having a relaxing time Hodge - About the same time you posted that I was busy winching one of the tractors out of the wood!

I have the one in the link put up. They do seem hard to find but can save a lot of running around! I think brindley might do one... Snow Chains ? Chain Slings - Auto Sock ? Brindley Chains

and they are expensive!

Need the three sears in the front. I know you can get the rear seats for the connects but they don't fold out of the way too well so still loose the space in the back. Connects are good vans and pretty bomb proof - I know of one that was rear ended at something like 70mph and it's still driving around, although it does look a little illegal! Have also heard you will struggle to get the mpg out of the connects.

Never heard that on the doors, although have heard similar stories on other french makes. The one I'm looking at is a 2009, so the new shape one. Also has separate deadlocks fitted to all doors.

Thanks for replys. Looks like for the size etc it could be the choice...
