Hi @Kav I was looking through ebay for Carpet Trolleys and came across the Arb trolley..or copy. Hadn't considered it till now and it does , or could have multiple uses moving some of the stuff in the round. Thanks for the offer of Avant help. This is a hobby for me and doesn't generate enough for me to pay for labour, but the offer is much appreciated as is the Arb Trolley inspiration. Thanks Bob

I'll give it another go. I was convinced it was me wining one side up more than the other as other boards were perfect.

@Tippin Alaybye Sorry I wasn't clear. 3mm difference end to end. 30mm one end 33mm the other. one "click" of the bed adjustment. My fault. I wasn't paying attention. Other boards were faultless. The lack of setup time on the first cut too. Really chuffed. Made a log-bed (?) to load straight from the trailer... Trailer gets loaded by telehandler or forklift....unload is me and the log-turner.

Hi @Tippin Alaybye Yes things are going ok. I've made a few mistakes when I haven't double checked my height adjustment and I've had a 3mm difference in the thickness.... Apart from that it is chewing through a load of Lebanon Cedar.... Bought a new chain from @Rob D and it's a belter Thanks again Andrew. *** Boards with "X" are wonky...3mm but might be benches or seating. Bob

Cracking....Big wheels will help me over the ground....off to Ebay I go. Thanks @trigger_andy

I have a couple of dolly's in the garage. They aren't much good on loose gravel. Many thanks though. Bob
-
Like a Carpet dolly/cart I get it. Yes the 40kg ones are manageable...but these are just a bit too much. Closer 70kg. I'm not a big chap...around 70kg myself.

2.5m x 70cm x 50mm give or take.... Oak,

Hi All, Milling, for me, is a hobby. Recently I've been gifted some large pieces and I've hit a small roadblock. Q: I'm looking for an inexpensive way of moving slabs from my milling area to the air drying area. The route is reasonably flat but the surface is road plannings with the odd shallow-ish pothole. 25m ish run. I work on my own and some of the slabs are 40kg -70kg. Has anyone got some suggestions? Budget ...like to be under £250 but can extend for the right kit. Cheers Bob

Got a mate often referred to as T-Rex. Not because he is aggressive but has short arms ( and deep pockets) ... often gets used jovially when in a round someone steps back or ducks out.....back in those distant Pre-Covid times. :-)

Sorry to ask the silly question... Does your provider allow your contract ti=o make International Calls? My mobile contract defaults to No. Saves the difficult conversations at settlement time. Bob

I was going by the specs.... I'd normally use Stihl Ultra HP as it's their highest spec oil. When I use my 660 its generally flt out on a mill. Stihl Spec says JASO-FB, ISO-L-EGB Mano Fully synth matches it. Prepared to give it a go and will probably end up mixing closer 40:1 500ml MANNOL Scooter 2-Takt Two Stroke Engine Oil Premium API TC+ JASO FD WWW.EBAY.CO.UK MANNOL Scooter 2-takt Premium. A universal high-quality synthetic new-generation engine oil for modern high-load... Back to red pre-mix!
-
Thanks for the heads up. I've ordered a litre of their fully synth and will give it a go. Fraction of the price of other stuff.

Cheers Les. Good to hear. I remember my bits taking from end of Oct to late Dec. Last Q: Chap who sells them....is he an eBay chap or local to you? Bob
-
This is good to hear. It would be very interesting to see how it stands up to your use. I bought a "parts" kit a couple of years back on a black Thursday sale and it hasn't been as good as a saw as I'd hoped. Although I've read the complete saws use some superior quality parts instead of the Hutzl kit parts. Are you running at 25:1 oil ? Please keep the updates coming. Bob

Have a look at his insta feed. He's been very busy...I'm sure he'll be on later. -
Further to my earlier caterpillar pics.. I now have 4 of these happy feeders munching through a willow.

Cheers @daltontrees Mrs has just found that on Google. Not nice. Going to keep an eye out for the adult now. Bonkers. Cheers Bob

Hi, first time in this section. Found this in the garden today and I can't find anything on the web that looks like this Caterpillar. About 40mm long. Any clues?
-
This has been doing the rounds for weeks for Android users...
-
I did get the same answer from LS as you. I just haven't chased it. As usual...when I started to try and fix it the saw has been running like a swiss watch... Dag-nabbitt. I'll order the parts and have them in the "bin" when I need them. Thanks Bob

Hi Rob, I'm looking at your PM48 kit and before I purchase I had a couple of questions. What grinding stone will I need for the lo-pro chain? In case I already have it... I've got a 660 and i'm assuming it'll have the grunt to push this rig, Y? Last, I also see there is now an intermediate post for shorter bars on longer mills... is this a big faff to change between the two setups? I wanted to change as I have one of your Eco mills but am spending a lot of time getting the depth accurate and the Panthers seem to have this down pat. + the extra width offered seems a good call. Thanks Bob
-
I'm going to ruin it by saying I just took a mm or so off the top of the rakers with the granberg at 0 deg. The change was immense. I've got a couple of 24" chains to do and I'll be a bit more precise with them.
