Id say 390 as easier to use in wood cutting terms and will run a 28" bar, ive lugged a 660 round woods too and its heavier. the 390 is simple and wont have electrical gubbins which will eventually go wrong

Compressing fresh wood chip into briguette
steve collins replied to ledders666's topic in General chat
Only seen joiners sawdust and chip used for pellets and logs the machines are expensive and use a bonding agent which works most of the time but the product must be kept dry or will fall apart. also have heard of them catching fire due to the pressure they run to compress the dust,chip -
I know a lad with 7 ms 200ts for sale all in good condition!!

I recently tried a 461 the other week, i have had a 576 and went wrong, ive got a 372 and a 460 and i was surprised how good the 461 was though it was on a 18 bar, only thing was the handle seemed rather fat!! All depends what your cutting really, all saws mentioned will run up to 25" bar so you have an option if timber your cutting gets bigger, but a 390 will run a 28 or if you want it to fly put a 24" on it

Best market is barbecue season in the uk for chips and there is only a few over here i know of who do them on a large scale

I think whichever way you look at it on a flat site either the traditional scarf or humbolt you will get the same amount of timber out a tree, on a steep site felling downhill they are usefull for getting the most out of a tree as the face cut can go in the lower part and back cut as flush to ground as possible.

Please help this lad with your alternative dolamar, echo so he can compare to the husky and stihl saws. I would also like to see what else is out there!!

Well i have A SECOND HAND 560 and it is flawless no problems whatsoever:001_tongue:

Orange for forestry, as machine operators cant see you due to tinted glass and the yellow blends in with the foilage!!
-
Well they got used on 15 odd big poplar with a slight back lean on few days ago and cant fault the hard heads, i may look into getting some made myself. By triple taper you mean k and h wedges? ive some of them as well and think there good but only use them with soft wood:001_smile:
-
yeah vibes are the only downside really to the saw but will run a 20 and 25 inch bar no probs
-
good reliable saw, check the anti vibes as the saw isnt the most friendly on the hands, check the tank for holes and dents and generaly look over make sure you use it cutting something
-
Yep got some hard heads over crimbo,best bet is to get them sent as a gift then no import duty/tax whatever u call it.
-
Got a 2011 560 no problems at all,l just had a few av springs but that's just wear and tear from a saw getting used a lot
-
if you look after the uppers then you can get loads of life out of them, got some that are at least 2 yrs old and dont let the sole get too thin then you can get them re-soled as well:001_smile:
-
just whats been said local to me really from chatting to a few others
-
if your worried about vibes on the stihl 441, 461 i think they do two types a hard and soft, dont quote me on that tho!!
-
dont get a new 372 x torq!! heard loads of problems with them replacing cylinders etc and dealers having to refund due to constant problems. 390 yes go get one very versatile saw and nicely balanced
-
Cheers, still think the old non xtorq 372 is the best 70cc out there, but hear there is a 572 coming out now!!
-
Had a 576 and the autotune went! think the newer ones are better now and was a nice saw but too heavy in my opinion. I have a 460 which replaced it but thats a touch lighter but the vibrations are worse!!
-
nice:thumbup:

steve collins replied to normandylumberjack's topic in Chainsaws
Let us know what the tech lite bar is like, as seems rather expensive when i saw one around £170!! -

3/8 it runs smoother in my opinion:001_smile:
-
