Bloody computers!

Hope these photos loaded

How do? Here is a few photos of my first go at milling I built the mill myself. I am using Ganberg 3/8 milling chain and a 42 inch Gb lo pro bar. This may be a stupid question but I am guessing you just use a 7/32 file to sharpen then chain? It just seemed fairly tight so I got the job done but I just need to sharpen the chain now.

The numbers thingy doesn't work on my iPhone so I couldn't complete it! What's the survey for?

How do? Has anyone got any good Projects on at the moment? Photos would be good? I seen a homemade skidder on facebook and it sparked an idea! Cheers Joe

I would say so! They would have to go and get checked out again if they are out of date!

Apparently it's not in exsitance anymore! I will have to make one!

Prepare to have your mind blowen!

How do? I have just got a Stihl br 420 and read about the mist conversion kit. I have searched the internet to try and get the kit but I cant find it and was wondering if any of you lot new the crack? I might try and make one up for it!

How do? What does everyone think of Granburg ripping chains for milling? I am using a 660 with tooth sprocket!

Cheers Joe

Thanks. I was looking for a bit more northern but it's good to know.

Obviously this will be a question that a lot of people will hold close to there chest but I was wondering if there was any tree cutting contracts out this way or sub contractors needing a hand. If anyone knows of anything at all I would be really great full for the input.

It's a little large for that saw, get the magnum muffler at least, although I would recommend speaking to spud

I have got an old 070 that I need to get running as a back up!

You can get a 3/8" sprocket-nosed 42" bar as per link to ebay.de

 

For chain, have a look at chainsawbars.co.uk on the custom chain loops tab. You can then select the chain you want (Stihl, Oregon or Granberg - for a 660 on an overlength bar I would go for Granberg) and enter the number of drive links you need in the pop-up box.

I can't seem to find it on the German eBay! Any links for quick help?

Thanks for the replys! I think I am just sticking with the 660 with a 42 inch bar if I can find one on 3/8s ripping chain !

does everyone run 404? 3/8 would be better as I have a roll of chain! surely it would be best to cut with .325 because its just a thinner cut?

Thanks for the reply’s I have actually got an 070 at my dads so I will get that out and sorted! could someone tag Rob in this thread please unless theres another way to get in touch?

I am new to the milling side but I have been an arborist for 4 years now and I have made my own Alaskan mill (use to be a fabricator). I am getting sick of logging good timber and I want to mill it insted! I run a 36 inch bar on my 660 but the timber I need to mill is 40 inch and I know i will lose 2 inch so I am looking at running a 42 inch bar but I would like to know if the saw will run it and the best places to get the bars and what kind!

Cheers Joe

Oops didnt see there was four pages....

Just to be a nerd you are aloud to prune trees if you are 9 meters away up to 66kv then its 15 meters above 66kv.

I was wondering if anyone had removed the spark arresters on any of the new husky saws? My questions are did you notice any power difference, I know they sound louder! I use premium fuel now as well to see if that makes any more power! I think it goes better in bigger timber but I am not sure if it is just in my head!

Cheers Joe

Hahahhahahaha!!!!

Used one of Clarks in the woods defiantly one off the best things I have used way less work effort and there not heavy at all! I had a look at the price tag and decided to build one myself ended up costing me £86 so it's saved me a few pennies! Changed a couple off things like the screw valve found they come loose easily!
