    i've used an alaskan mill using thin boards as your first runner to get a waved shape. worked well but your curve is limited to the witdth of your bar. also had reasonable success doing it free hand very carefully! will need a sand mind! what you making?

    cant hook cant hook. have moved many huge barrels with a 4 tonne winch ( Toolzone Cable Pullers from £19 with FREE Delivery* ) strop it under barrel to trailer then winch so it'll roll rather than drag up some solid ramps. if you got the time and no money (i.e can't rent a tele handler for a day. ) thats your best bet. mind the beauty of alaskans is milling onsite first!

    such a pain in the arse! and everyone seems to tell you something different. depends also when you passed your test no? you vehicle should have a max train wieght which should tell you what you can pull with that vehicle - my hilux is a joke - says 1.5 tonne total trailer load or something like that! if your total wieght is less than 3.5 tonne do you still need a tach?

    hi, i've done a fair bit of milling with a 36'' bar on a 394xp which is pretty tired now. wanted to get a 48'' bar for my 660 to use with my alaskan mill (which is a 48'' mill.). i know it'll be reet slow but its just for the odd amazing bit of timber. so the biggest i can find listed for a ms660 is 36''. any reason i can use a oregon bar for a 880 if i change my 3/8 sprocket for a .404 one? keen to avoid paying out then having to send it all back. also anyone got any 088's out there? also anyone felling an oak/elm/yew/larch in or around northumberland - i'm a sculptor making big things - want to trees whole! ta

    see the classifieds for details. will potentially break for parts i.e the dropside back - may be of interest?
