Atleast he was wearing a pair of radio ear defenders so he had something to listen to whilst waiting for the ambulance

Nope, no oil on wood
-
Yep i've got the original stihl bar, and a newer oregon bar
-
If there's tough bits or big rounds get a few wood grenades (or any other splitting wedge), you knock them in with a sledge hammer But you need a few incase one gets stuck!

Yeh as above I can block it with a screw, and with the bar off it would appear to oil as it should out of the correct hole. But with the bar fitted, the oil doesnt run along the bar. I've tried 2 different bars and both were cleaned before fitting
-
It has definatly been warmer today, and also a little rain, so there will be icey roads in the morning/at night
-
Yeh the photo is with the exhaust removed

I have some Stihl forestwear classics bib & brace, I like them, but the new ones look like a different design (they're certainly a different colour!)

I got a small digital video motion detector camera of ebay for about £35, not waterproof but would be easy to make a box to mount/disguise it in Were the thefts down by you in the aviemore/speyside area?

Most stainless isn't magnetic

Unless they've changed, the stihl helmets are rubbish, the visors fall apart very quickly. Husky ones are good though Chainsaw wellies are ok, better than nothing

The ram movement isn't going to affect the suspension, but if the log went with a bang then it might rock the trailer slightly. Also if you lift up a big ring and drop it down onto the table the trailer would obivously rock about. The amount of movement would depend on the type and age of suspension. Personally I would fit 2 wind down legs to the rear corners of the trailer chassis so it was rock hard, espicialy if it's unbraked
-
Has anyone else got a simillar sized stihl, and does it have the hole going down by the exhaust?
-
Just wondering, owners book says Stihl oil at 50:1, or "other branded 2 stroke engine oils (classification TC) 25:1" So what mix rate should Oregon semi synthetic 2T be at?

scbk replied to Woody Wood Pecker's topic in General chat
I wouldn't think you'd have much luck phoning the council offices. You might be best off stopping and talking to a gang of parkies and see if they will let you have some wood for beer money (but you might find at this time of year, a lot of wood is already spoken for) -
The hole by the exhaust seems to meet up with the normal hole for the guide bar (so not into the tank). I just can't figure it out. I tried blocking the hole with a short thick screw, and with the bar off, oil streams out of the hole for the guide bar, as it should. But when you put a bar and chain on, the oil doesnt seem to run along the bar. The bar and oil hole are totally clean, and I even tried a different bar. Also tried blowing out the hole with an air line

FSC = FSC UK - Forest Stewardship Council Suprised you have never seen it on cardboard boxes/sawn timber etc

Silverline Fibre Shaft Log Splitting Axe 6lb - Transtools Not fancy, but does the job for me and has taken a good few years of abuse

And, of course, the cost of signs saying "warning forest operations"
