750kg braked is also fine

Oak removal this morning, subsidence report signed the death warrant. Gonna skid the trunk out for milling tomorrow with a digger.
-
Yup, I go from a topper straight to a 441 with 20" bar then 66 with a 30" bar. Sometimes like today I skip the 44 out altogether. Couldn't imagine having the patience to wait for a 50cc saw to struggle to pull a 20 bar through hardwood while on spikes...
-
More importantly who's using a 66 for cutting an 8" log for the chipper?
-
Even without it will still hold revs better, but yeah, you'd be wasting torque on a 7 I switched back from an 8 pin on my 30" bar, still can't figure which I prefer.
-
Put the same new 25" bar and chain on a 441 and a 661. Which is going to ring up that stem faster?
-
Good for you. That rule doesn't apply across the range though does it? For your argument to work the chain speed to torque ratio would need to remain constant through the saw ranges. You've simply picked the one example that supports your argument.
-
Are you genuinely arguing that on the same sized bar the larger powerhead won't be faster? A 261 or a 441 on a 20" bar? It might not be your cup of tea but there's plenty that prefer a saw that cuts timber quicker and don't mind the extra weight.
-
Because it won't be slower, it will be faster.
-
Do you remember where you read this? I'd be interested to know the difference or if its just a different sticker.
-
Serves you right for poncifying a carb boot into a "manifold"!
-
Are the batteries detachable? I've got one that doesn't get used if you want to scavenge it. From memory its a 10r
-
First post and it's a request...Please pity me.

Where would you replant it? -
You'll struggle to splice a double braid both ends with a short length. Hollow braid is the only way really.

Hi Richard, seems like most companies are struggling to find decent staff at the moment. Good luck. Perhaps if you stated what you were looking to pay it might help interest people. -
Price for the easiest and safest option, if they can't afford it let someone else take the risk while you're making easier money elsewhere. Are you really hungry enough to make the headache worthwhile?
-
So basically you need st8 capability without buying an st8? That's a tough one.
-
Have you considered the new 280 on tracks? 230s bigger brother @Mick Dempsey the bigger chippers have their place if you do a lot of clearance work where you can get near the tree and chip on site or have a big wagon to chip into. Pointless if its your only chipper though.
-
You'd struggle to do worse than the stein one!

Had the pleasure of playing with one before they were released at Stihl HQ. As I understand it, it's the fuel injection technology that saves a lot of weight. No need for carbs etc. It's bloody impressive on a 25" bar. Reckon it could easily handle more, although it balanced beautifully 25"
-
That's kind of how I saw it. Just the planning department pushing their remit a bit. Like I said that worded it as a "request" not a condition, so I gave it due consideration and carried on.
-
I took it literally as a request, not a condition of the consent, so I politely denied their request and carried on anyway.
-
Hahahaha savage.
-
I once had a planning app consented with a note that said "we request the local green space officer be present to oversee the works" or something you that effect...
-
This is the way
