Looks nice, where abouts are you?

Personally I'd look at a second hand 660 to 066 but you'll not find a 88 for 500 quid unless your very lucky. or if your set on new an 80cc makita/dolmar https://www.radmoretucker.co.uk/shop/garden-machinery/chainsaws-tree-care/petrol-chainsaws/makita-ea7900p45e-petrol-chainsaw-18/ You'll get parts for them no bother. They are strong saws.

What's yer max budget?

Interesting stuff, thanks for posting

Aye, honestly dont know much about it all tbh. Wasnt referring to common land owned my individuals, more spaces like village greens, verges and other little nooks which over the years have been either claimed by private individuals ( enclosures act, and adverse possession.) or become council owned. Anyways by many accounts spaces where people can camp up have largely disappeared, so not a huge surprise that village greens are often used. I should add that many greens would have been commonly owed ( I think? Now council) and would have traditionally been used for grazing, and drovers. Anyways, think we all agree, no ones likes a mess or anti social behaviour. I just like travelling and camping ( hate campsites) and would live there to be more spots where it's ok to do that ( like Germany, parts of Scotland, free camping is encouraged.)

Worth noting that parish councils often ( illegally) bollard off common land that you have a right to camp on with a horse and have been used as that for hundreds of years because they like it neat and tidy, prim little village greens etc. Quite interesting actually the steady erosion of common land/unowned land Having travelled a fair bit with my family with a horse and wagon, you wouldn't believe what utter cocks are out there. However, we have also met alot of total belters, so not all bad. Now I'm not excusing any wrong uns from the travelling community, but feeling the force of others prejudice definitely does something funny to your head, myself I get pretty sick of it pretty quick and gets me in a foul temper. But yes, I'm led to believe Appleby has changed unrecognisably over the years, not made it over there myself yet.

Isn't only 50quid extra or something for the 550?
-
Or leave the tripod setup in wood and do the dreamy hard reverse slam brakes on log ejection method back at your spot.
-
I guess if you are planning on doing this alot a meaty h bar welded up at the back of your truck with a block or chain hoist on would give you the required lift then you could move the chain down the log after its resting on the truck back and shuffle it on like that.

Cant find link but an America fella did a vid on a sweet simple trailer he had made up which works like the skip loaders.

Tripod is the shizzle. Done a few like this 30'' x 8' larch stems. Winch length ways up ramps is a bit poor, often push ramps around and requires a very good winch point on yer pickup. Have have hoyed a trop around the whole back of cab with the doors open in the past, but obs not ideal. What length and diameter are you doing? Can you bully/farm Jack one end up onto back of truck and slide it on the rest other way? Found the farm jacks good to a point then suddenly lethal when the decent to drop sideways.

I would say junk at all, could make something well nice out of them, especially if left chunky boards
-
I'd buy a cheap bluetooth diagnostics tool for sure. Check yer fuel and air filter. Any smoke?
-
New or second hand?
-
I'd take the land cruiser any day of the week. That iveco does like alreet though
-
Worth checking it but I'd be surprised tbh
-
What's compression like after 3 mins? My money is on the coil like
-
I also cant help feel that although burning green logs in cities will uncountable contribute to air pollution, there must be bigger fish to fry on the air pollution front.
-
Think it's quite common on these side exit exhausts on echos. I have seen a few like this. Shame. Dont think it will effect the use of the saw too much. Think folk have cut the plastic back around them in the past. Sorry to hear echo haven't been helpful

Does it stop dead after 3mins or slowly get shitter and die?
-
Yes, the coils are wierd. My 361 was a right twat. Working ok then cutting out at random. Usually restarted fine. Next time it cuts out check the spark immediately. Spud replaces replaced my coil after I had gone mad trying to part mine and rebuilt the carb about 14 times. It has recently gone again, this time it seemed to advance the timing and became nearly impossible to pull over. Wasnt going to spend a fortune on an OEM coil as the last one lasted 2or 3 years. Have replaced with cheapo Chinese one a few months ago. Seems fine for now. Not saying this is defo the bother, but my 361 drove me mad and turned out to be an unpredictable coil

Well thanks everyone for help. Put ram fully out. Brimmed with oil, let it down a bit on the valve, manual pump did nothing. Undid one of the bleed valves on side air came out then oil. Did not back up manual pump works a treat now. Just off to mop up all the oil that pissed out the fill cap when ram came all the way back. Once again arbtalk saves the day. Many thanks
