A camon C8 or C10 from a hire shop will do the job ok, just make sure it has decent blades on it before you take it away.

Howard gems are the kiddy but I think you will struggle to find one in a hire shop

Have a look at mower magics website- chainsaw grinder with automatic chain advancement - you can see the video of it working, bit pricey though at £120, seen the same one cheaper on e-bay. Thinking about getting one myself

but not sure of build quality,also using it on every sharpen might shorten life on chain?

I got a Kamasa one from toolstation, was about 20 quid. Seems to work ok

Got the same,good enough for firewood.Stihl do the exact same one branded with their colours and name, and its CHEAPER!! £12 in their 2011 catalogue

Ahead start for next winters stock!

Just bought a new 660 with 36''bar on Friday, £833 +vat =1k!

ps u should have put a alasken mill on it and made some nice planks out of that beech

Funny you should say that, the local farmer said the same thing to me this afternoon:lol:

Think i might try a 25 next. Thanks

you have made it all dirty lol, nice saw mate

I know! had to be done, lol. Even dirtier now after a full days graft.Cheers

Don't think its a chisel chain, not too sure, its just the standard chain dealer gave me.Seems to work good enough for me:001_smile:.I'll find out what type of chain it is out of interest.Going to be buying a smaller bar later on

Thanks for all advice. Going to Stihl dealer in the morning to have look at the 660, i will let you know how i get on.

Purchased the 660 with 36" bar! on Friday, well pleased with it:thumbup:

Thanks for all advice. Going to Stihl dealer in the morning to have look at the 660, i will let you know how i get on.

Would the 395 take a larger bar than a 28"?

Heres one of the threads;

 

http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/chainsaws/8589-ms660-ms460-air-filter-upgrades.html

If i get the 660 will prob get the filters, for all they cost. Thanks

I have the 660, very nice saw.

 

If you go down this route though, do a search on here in the chainsaw forum and read up about the issues that have been covered. The threads Ive been involved with include oiling and filtration issues.

 

I have tried the husky equivelants but would say, once sorted the stihl is a much more superior saw in my opinion.

Will look into the issues you have mentioned. Cheers

both husky and stihl are great saws....but you can take the ms650 out of the equation unless you're on a budget

Not on a budget so i'll rule the 650 out! One down two to go!

046 is that an older model?

Looking to buy a new saw, not sure what to go for Husky or Stihl?

Saw will be used for cutting larger diameter timber for firewood. My friend has got a MS 440 with a 25" bar (biggest you can fit i believe?) which i get a loan of, seems to be a good enough saw however i feel sometimes i would like to have the option of fitting a larger bar when required

Probably be running 20" bar most of the time, the models i was thinking of are

Stihl MS650/660 or Husky 390/395XP.

Any advice would be appreciated.

How old's the saw and could you post a pic of it?

Many Thanks

Hi David,Pity you weren't closer!

I am sure you have seen truck mounted forklifts before, they sit on special fabricated brackets on the back of trucks.

Moffett Mountys are the most common,tend to be much larger than my one, they are three wheel drive giving them better off road ability, but weigh 1.5 tonnes upwards, where as i have got a Kooi App, one wheel drive more suited to tarmac (have got stuck a few times going off road:thumbdown:) and only weighs 1 ton, giving me a greater payload,of ten tonnes.

Despite its limited ability, still a very handy machine to have, making deliveries

around Edinburghs tight lanes and busy streets.Even use it as a back up around the yard moving/loading bags of logs if the loader tractor is on another job.

Might invest in a Moffett one day but i would also need to buy a larger truck to take it,like a six wheeler, more ££££

Thanks Big j ,pm sent:thumbup:

Anybody got any Hardwood for sale? Any amount from a landy & trailer load to an artic load. Can collect smaller amounts with landy also got Scania 18 tonner with truck mounted forklift (needs to be hard standing as only one wheel drive). Edinburgh,Lothians,Borders Area.

Many Thanks
