Yeah really is a pity. I'm fairness though he may have a bunker he parks it in. Are the places in the world where you just Park a van like that on the street everynight? Not saying there aren't but just don't know where I just did a trip from Northumberland to Cornwall via Dorset and Devon with family, working other way, had all my kit and saws in t4 van. Wasnt that relaxing leaving it parked up whilst going for walks etc....all ok though Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app

Unless you'll be climbing with it, I often wish I had something between a 361 and 660 when climbing, but cannot justify buying anything as can make do ok. Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app

Nothing like a 15 min warm up procedure though is there? Had a husky 132 before and bg55 is muchos better. I'll get a decent one eventually Makita/dolly backpacks anyone? Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app

Damn it, my bg55 appears to be working fine again, hard to replace when it still works, but I know it'll not start at some vital late night tidy up...... Can anyone compare the bg56 to the 86? Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app

I found with oak your better off doing nothing. Inevitably you won't sand it back and oil it frequently enough (no insult to you, just that it takes alot of work) and eventually when it starts to look black oiled wood looks alot worse than the grey/silver that untreated oak goes. Also oiling oak will do little to stop it splitting as it will still dry out. Horizontal surfaces with sitting water are always going to attract blackstaining/mold. In past have tried many tung oils, osmo oil, decking oils, with pre fungicide treatment, and on horizontal oak where water will sit, have found the results poor.

Not that excited about having to change sprockets everytime I change chains.know it's not too time consuming, but annoying knowing that I wouldn't have to with other brands Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app

9 pin off a 460 I think. Don't think I have a 7 or 8 pin, both stihl and oregon Chain hasn't needed me to change the sprocket so I thought this isn't the bother. I also noticed I'd knocked a tooth off a brand new 3/8p chain on a 360tes. Not even had A chance to sharpen it yet. The rotatech. 325 chain I been running on my 357 has been fine though.

See how much longer the old chains is, same number of drive links Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app

Just had a 74dl 325 1.6 chain arrive for a ms361 18" bar and it's too small to fir on bar and sprocket. I really gave it some and managed to squeeze it on bit the back or bar was pressed tight onto the sprocket and I wasn't going to run it like that. It is the correct amount of DL have counted. I tried stretching it with a bottle jack but hasn't made aby better. Any ideas? Pretty much lost the small saving I made for buying a cheap chain by having to mess about with it for 40 mins now.....

Nah, had a few nasty cuts, usually when being slightly lazy or careless. I knew someone would pull me up on that- think I'd prefer a cut from a silky than chainsaw though. Not to say you could seriously injure yourself with a silky. Maybe we should have to do a silky training 5 day course Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app
