Looks good. Just after a croll or similar and I'll be making one of these also. You make your foot loop as well or just buy one?

Working now. Perhaps just bad website last night or something.

Fyi Link doesnt work for me

Dont think that's a problem running the bar clamps set it a bit. Obvs keep an eye in the cut that the saws weight isn't bending down the way. Also make sure yer bar is supported well when you do the bar clamps up as you can sort of force a bend onto the bar which accentuates as the change the depth gauges. -

No self adjusting buckles?

Excellent! Any idea what was wrong with it?
-
Aye, shavey on hear very good for parts. And the 7900 is banging saw and good price. Personally wouldnt worry about parts availability at all

@Mark Bolam hows the koala doing? Half thinking of a new harness. Not shelling out 400quid for TM though

I'd say the nut isn't on far enough but the newer type clutch wont need the cover and nut on. That nut doesnt hold the clutch on just the washer cover I think. I'd try it without nut or clutch cover personally. But cant promise you this is correct! Def keep an eye on it!
-
I reckons your good with the nut and washer. The anticlockwise thread will keep it on as with most outboard clutches. When I have had a clutch off I try and remember to engage the chain brake soon after with the chain going a bit to nip it up right good.

I think with a sharp chain you can get away with it. I run a 9t .325 18'' on my 361 and its mint but you def notice as soon as it's a little dull, bogs down. Just bought a 8t for the 026 so will report back also

Not properly covering things like cambium savers, all types of friction device and throw line techniques in an I week course is madness. Even on my 3 dayer I got to mess around with a big shot, cambium savers /pulleys and hitch climber etc. Not that you need a course to use a cambium saver like. That 5 min video on YouTube pretty much all that's required. -
Pic might help?

The stihl lo pro cuts well fast and gives a smooth finish, didnt find the granberg noticeably better. Not tried the Oregon skip but found the 10 degree milling chain they do slow but smooth finish. Pretty much just been using stihl 404 normal chain sharpened to 20 degrees rather than 30 or whatever and seems ok speed wise but a bit rough. Been working my way through a few big loops of Oregon 325 on the double ender which is rapid and pretty smooth, but hard to compare as 2 power heads. Hard to know for sure as usually stick with a chain for a specific log and they are a bit different dimensions/ cleaness etc

You're going to love that winch. Always thought they were a bit shit and slightly useless, but seeing a pal winch stems up a bank I decided to get one asap. Used it enough to be worth having for sure. 12000lbs is pretty acceptable!

Class!

Ace. Hard to see but looks like its sporting a warn winch on plasma rope? You had a winch before?
