Stihl Motomix- stores the same as Aspen?
Daniël Bos replied to William Clifford's topic in Chainsaws
Stihl Motomix is very similar to Aspen 2T and has similar storing properties. It'll probably be around the same price as well. Aspen is still petrol as well.... -
I have some big oaks to mill (in situ, alaskan+ms880) in Bedfordshire (near Thurleigh). But... I can only be there on weekdays.

My memory seems to say something about that bit being a separate part, but it's only whispering.

If I were in your situation, I'd use aspen:biggrin:. Since you choose not to, I'd find a more enlightened person:sneaky2: near you to give you all his empty 5L cans. Then, rather than filling up one 25l container, just fill up 5 5L ones. The Aspen cans are sturdy and can be re-used many times. When I did still use petrol+oil, I used a large syringe to measure out the oil. Very accurate, very easy and because of the small opening no bits ever get in and all the oil you measured gets to go into the fuel without rinsing etc.

I reckon it's firewood?

What? People answer the phone when you call and don't speak back to you? For a shy person it can be hard sometimes to phone people you don't know (I really struggle with this myself and after 10 years of running my own business I'm only just getting used to it, still makes me nervous though...) But... when you phone people rather than email they can't leave you till later, they won't occidentally put you in the junk folder. You're in the head, leaving an impression from the time they pick up the phone.

Did you fell it like that Adam? (engine down I mean)

Ignore the email route, phone them! -
I bought one fairly recently with both the 48" duromatic (which is actually 47"...) and a 46" Sugi from Messrs Jones. The Added money the saw cost with the Stihl bar as opposed to the bare saw+Sugi was quite a bit less than the value of the Duro bar. So, I bought the saw with two bars, flogged the Duro on EvilBay and ended up with the shiney bar + two chains for less than the saw+Duro:001_smile: Not had it for long enough to give you a proper review but it's a big step up from the 660 in weight to lug around...

Truck and shiney Stihl stuff cleaned out in Tower Hamlets
Daniël Bos replied to Andy Clark's topic in Stolen Equipment
That's a big loss indeed! But, seems like a huge amount of tools left out in one vehicle overnight? -

Strange thing is Hazel, the colour of the bark seems to be somehow indicative to how useful it is. I've seen brown, dark brown, silvery, white and flaky, purpleish etc. And all seem to have different bending characteristics. The purple stuff for example seems to snap earlier, even if it was grown in the same wood and is the same size. I've seen identical sized in both girth and length, stools right beside eachother but different tinge to the bark behave consistently quite differently. Never seen green other than algeal though...

Engelbert Strauss chainsaw trousers - ongoing review
Daniël Bos replied to alex_m's topic in General chat
Mine (dungaree style, unfashionable grey to fade in with the masses) are still good-ish.... I've had them for over two years, but they're about past it now. There's just a couple of little tears in them (which is fairly amazing considering they've spent at least half the time crawling trough hedges). A couple of seems went on the arse end quite a while ago, but not in an area that's under tension so I don't know why? Never went any further though so I left it. The Sqrench pocket thing has nearly torn off as it gets hooked on stuff at times, soon sorted with a pair of scissors but I do like the pocket so am keeping it. Overall I'd say they've been exceptionally good value for money. -
From what I gathered this saw's parts are not easy to come by, and coil failure is supposedly quite high?

So, just to see if I understand: Your chipper is broken, but it's not the chipper's fault because the part of the chipper that is broken broke because another part on the chipper had broken a while before that? And just to be clear I have no opinions on chippers and find your loyalty to your machine endearing, it's just your explanation that baffles me.

I'm after a new saw in the 70-80 cc sort of band, have any of you Dolly-Doters tried a 7310, and if so, what is it like?
-
I thought the 365 and the 372 were the same saw.....? Anyway, sounds like clutch as you say on the 372, Does it have an inboard or an outboard clutch?

Some really good stuff on here, going back a few years and regularly revisited. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/tree-health-care/2847-mulch-not-mulch.html

I use rapeseed oil, not had any issues ever. Some people say i can gum up the system but I'v only seen that when different oils have mixed (ie putting rape in after "proper" chain oil made chewing gum) Pulled a 346 off the shelf a wee while ago that had been there for the best part of a year. Started on the second pull (Aspen...) but the chain was admittedly a little stiff. Gave it a push against a bit of wood, a couple of rev-blasts and it was free as a new chain. Is Eco, you can lick up spills if needed. Works well, chains move easily without heat build-up Is Cheap! Paid £1.29/l from Lidls the other day, sure it can be had cheaper still.

Aspen 2T is pre-mixed, it has oil in already.

The following is for the benefit of all of us who either spend this day without a partner/lover/secret crush/long lost pal/whatever or those of us who simply choose not to partake in the event. I created this simulator, so that we too can enjoy that special feeling inside, that warmth, that unique emotion. You're welcome:001_smile: .

The only stupid question is the one that is not asked. If you're afraid to ask a question for fear of being mocked you'll never learn the answer. Apologies if my reply seemed unfriendly, I was trying to be funny:blushing: (against my wife's advise, she tells me time and time again that I am not). As far as burning willow, it burns ok if a little quick.
