You can buy just the workings, build your own frame, chute and hopper to have it just the way you want it. Found this one on a polish site: R?bak walcowy GR-110 Pieni??no ? Tablica.pl Seems to have very good specs, cuts 10cm/4" 12m warranty etc. 4500 zloty is about £900...

So, I'm the only one that thinks the 880 filter set-up is not best suited to milling?

Just below the "quick reply" text box is a "go advanced" button, click it. Then scroll down a little to a bland looking "manage attachments" button, click that. Then choose "browse" in the box that pops up, select the files on your 'puter, and click "upload". Then when you hit "submit reply" under the text box, you should have put up some pictures.

What is this silt? Any chance it's soil erosion from bad farming practices? The Rhine, one of three major rivers that flow through the Netherlands (you know, that country that has a major portion of land below sea level...), has a catchment area that is a fair bit bigger than the land mass of England and Wales combined. Perhaps there are lessons to be learned?

'ello When using the 880 in big oak, the filter gets clogged far too quickly in my opinion. I have used a piece of stocking around it as a pre-filter, take spare filters out with me etc but these measures do not address the problem. The problem as I see it is that the filter just gets exposed to too much dust by design. So, if the saw is used in an Alaskan, I wondered if anybody had attached an external filter to the saw. I'm thinking a mill-mounted (in the middle, least dust?) fairly large filter connected to the saw with a flexi hose and attached with the normal filter screw connection so it's easy to take off. Any thoughts, comments, experiences appreciated.

Perhaps not strictly porting or tuning, but.... If I take the existing exhaust of my 880 and replace it with a motor bike one of similar cc-age will that be ok? To elaborate: The 880 would only be used like this on the mill, with the exhaust fixed to the mill and attached to the saw with a flexi piece. This to quieten the operation a bit and direct the exhaust gasses away from me rather than in my face with the current set up. I thought perhaps I could tune the exhaust to match the saw by making sure it was oversized to begin with, then squeezing the end until it runs just right.

How are the woodlands separate? Are they owned by different people?

Stihl motomix has been available in some more civilised countries for years, seems very much the same as Aspen. Same price, same potential issues and similar benefit claims.

Supposed to be very water resistant and fine, dense timber.

Leaf blower cuts out after 10 mins of use.

Is it an ex-council machine? If so, it's probably just not used to working for more than 10 minutes at a time? -
Nice toy, would it not be wise to add an extra brace (or two) ?
-
If the chain is new, how about the bar? If the rails are splayed or unevenly worn the chain can wobble a fair bit...

Good on ya:thumbup1: I had to miss it as my car died of catastrophic water-induced ecu failure:thumbdown: Next time perhaps.

Which (compact?) tractor, to do everything on a smallholding?
Daniël Bos replied to sandspider's topic in Large equipment
I'd scour the world to find a Same Atlanta 45 4x4 with a loader. a bit old (60's) but absolutely brilliant! Small size but decent power, aircooled V4 engine with twin exhausts, modular engine design which means cheap parts and easy repairs. Very very frugal, very reliable. Twin exhausts! one either side of it's wee snout, I'll never forget the day we sold it.... -
What additions would you like to see on Arbtalk
Daniël Bos replied to Steve Bullman's topic in General chat
Is there a way to improve the search function? Sometimes the search words I need to search for are too short but pretty essential. Can't think of a decent example but say " husky 346 vs husky 550 bar size" searches just for "husky, size" Searching through google is more effective sometimes but more hassle as well. -
I can: 6'4", 16st...

Maybe because it was 5 years ago that it was put on?

Good barrow, second only to the Dutch made "Fort smb 100" which is virtually indestructible. Saw a demo where they put one on it's side, then pushed down on the side with a 1.5T digger until the digger was on one track. Fort is owned by some French company now, that also own belle and thus they don't sell them here. The UK market version is orange, for Belle.

That's real.

Been around for ages haven't they? But no, I'd say its not a bargain considering you can get a tyre: a better, more durable, more effective solution for free.

Exciting stuff! I've never been in a comp before, never saw the point... But I've also never worked alongside any other hedgers before and besides an odd look or two at the nationals (both times I went I has two small kids in tow, which kind of impedes hour long observations) I've never even seen anyone else work a hedge other than a passing glance. Looking forward to meeting you, I'm Daniel, 6'4" ginger-bearded Dutchman.

Hi all, I was felling some nice oaks today (a dozen around 3'-4') with one or two of them with a nice brown colouring. All of them were either dead or near dead but with reasonably straight stems, the heartwood still hard as a hard thing even on the very deadest tree I was wondering If I could use them for construction or not? So, is there a way to measure the strength of a timber and relate that to a table of standard or minimum strength?

Interesting, If the grounds were planned with all the individual trees marked out on the designs, then removing them would restore it to something nearer to the original state. It was designed without them so somebody a while ago must have thought it would improve the situation, a bit like an art student painting in an extra figure or two in one of Vermeer's paintings...
