    don't want to seem unduly harsh or rude.... You'd probably get a better response in the Milling section.

    The best I have used is some brake caliper paint on an old villiers chainsaw. It can take the heat, dirt and oil. Needs a bit of prep. I borrowed mine but I know it isn't cheap. Don't know about Blue! have seen .....Red, Yellow even Orange (Danarm) i.e. Foliatec Brake Caliper Paint and Engine Lacquer | Demon Tweeks

    Just saw this ....F... Me! Really? For 16 poles? Pretty sure I can supply poles for a tiny fraction of that. If you can collect? or pay fuel! Bob

    Second this... If it runs fine and stops it does sound like a fuel issue. Tank vent blocked.

    I'm closer Gatwick. Probably too far. I'm sure you'll find someone closer. In the meantime I'll ferret a few out. You've inspired me! ;-) Cheers Bob

    I've had my X27 a couple of years...paid more than £50... but as others have said, it is far better than it feels it ought to be. I think the fact the shaft is so light and all the weight is in the head makes it a little like swinging a conker. Very little stuff gets past it. And yes it ploughs through stuff my old maul would either get stuck in or bounce off. I think on the basis that i have lent it to mates to try Fiskarss have sold at least 5 more. Should have been on commission. Now if they made chainsaw chains!!!!!

    Thanks for all the help. Much appreciated

    I can recommend the X17 Big enough for two hands when needed and light enough to use single handed as a large hatchet. Just as efficient at the X27 just lighter/smaller. Bob

    I had calculated 60% wood 40% air so I'll reverse it and try again. Cheers Bob

    Love my X27. Can't comment on others. Use X17 more and all day with no problems.

    Hardwood....moderately straight sticks

    I have searched and can't find a good answer. If I had a stack of cord wood lengths approx 10m cube --- 2 x 5 x 1 How much do I allow as airspace when I calulate the volume of wood? I have the remaining data to work out the weight of the wood wet/dry...etc. Anyone? Thanks Bob

    Replacing drum bearings on washing machine...second lease of life lasted 3 years.

    I get where you are going... I would love to have 26 T but it takes up a lot of space/time and effort to process myself. Maybe the chap values his time and laying out £1300 in one hit is a bit of a wallop too. Seeing both sides.... Bob

    I think the payload is 575kg....not a lot of wood/logs especially green ones.
  21. Bob_z_l
    Agreed. Combination of free moving air and heat.

    I process 20 odd tonnes a year. Rounds are split with the X27 on a block ( every now and then gets replaced when a decent one arrives) and all the lengths /wast go on a stihl sawhorse. I like the chain that holds the smaller pieces in so they don't spin when the chain strikes. All goes on the deck where it gets barrowed to the stack or thrown into a bag. Not perfect, but I'm not high volume like some.
