That's almost what I'm suggesting, but with a 2-mix engine (FS-70) And if your current 4-mix model has a solid shaft, then drop the new engine onto that rather than use a polesaw or hedgecutter with a flexi shaft as per FS56. 2 mix is proven technology that works well.
-
Simply replace your engine with a new two mix one. FS-70 available now, next year will probably see the release of higher CC 2-mix engine. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/62516-heads-up-good-replacement-engine-stihl-polesaws-pole-hedgcutters-combi-units.html?highlight=heads+replacement+engine

I disagree. The only thing you need more power for is strimming, and if you do lots of strimming you need a proper clearing saw. I've run an FS-85, and now an FS-70 (both 27cc) on a 12" polesaw, bed tiller and hedgecutter and it is plenty of power.

Have a dozen 2 1/4" thick yew planks here, milled in spring. West Sussex. Let me know if any good.
-
No worries, thanks bud!
-
I'll cut it up and extract it to roadside!
-
Anyone with an Aebi/alpine tractor and flail in Surrey/Sussex border area?

Anyone? -
As above. Experienced farm worker type ideal. Five to seven days starting Monday 30th. Telehandler experience more important than chainsaw ability- this is a tricky job site.
-
What's it worth then? Here's the deal- access is rubbish, but if you want to take your chainsaw mill too it then I will extract and load the boards onto your transport with the telehandler. Located near Fernhurst, West Sussex. Dimensions are approx 20ft in length, and about three feet diameter tapering to two feet. Saw for scale is an 036 with 13" bar. Oh, and one more thing- it needs to be done in the next week or so! PM me your offers, or post here.

Because you bought it by the cubic meter you bloody retard. You asked him how big it was, he said 0.7m3. And it was indeed 0.7m3 of loose logs. He couldn't have been more specific. You've changed your argument from 'i feel cheated because the reference to cubic meterage was loose wood, not stacked' -despite cubic metres of loose wood being the industry standard- to 'people shouldn't sell in bulk bags because it's misleading' all the while whilst recommending an eBay advert for a bulk bag with no mention of a specific volume. I think you're trolling.
-
OP- are you either a wind up merchant or a simpleton?
-
As above. Flail mowing job in heather on steep valley sides. Not sure an alpine without duals would do it to be honest, but you'll know your machine better than me. PM me if you can help. Cheers
-
That's fair enough. Texas chainsaw massacre style! :thumbup:
-
I'd restore it into the nearest skip if I were you...
-
Nice one mate, well done.

Should I buy Husky or Stihl? Wait, I've got an idea!

It's not just the saws though. Think of all the other threads we have on a weekly basis. "What strimmer line is best for X?" "What blade should I use for Y" "Thinking of getting a tracked skidsteer, are they any good?" "Where do I get a grab for my digger, are they worth it?" -
I love shooting them. If you're using an air rifle you'd better knock them over with a head shot first time, else they'll come at you! Vicious little bastards.
-
Did you measure the crate beforehand? Something's not right there.
-
It works well but the tips blunt quickly. When is someone going to bring out a carbide tipped version?
-
'Carlube' chain oil from the local motor factors, approx £12 for 5l. I make a phone call, and it turns up in the yard the same day.
-
Are the logs seasoned and relatively dry? Then relax knowing that you paid below market rate for them.
-
Wrong place to whinge ay chaps?
-
That's STACKED volume. NOBODY sells wood by the stacked volume. This has been posted here before, it might help.

I think we'd need to have regional events. -
I'm fed up for the same old tit for tat. What I want to know is, what feels best for me? And to do that I have to try both, side by side, in the working environment. So....... who's up for a big ol ArbTalk meet up, where we all bring along saws, strimmers and hedgecutters, and have a play with each others? From the big brands to the little brands that keep getting recommended, but that you would never be able to get a dealer to demo you. We could do something on a nature reserve, or maybe in the grounds of a charitable organisation? Perhaps even some larger machines, I'd bring my digger along if it wasn't too far to travel. Goes without saying that we'd need Big J on the gate to keep the gypos out
