  1. If felling only soft wood you can have the rakers lower than spec and a full or semi skip chain on long bars . No good on hard wood though , low rakers I mean . I once bought a " west Coast " saw ( 385XP ) that had a 30" bar, narrow kirf semi chiz with vertually no rakers left but 80% cutter lenghth left . I was told it was a soft wood only set up .
  2. Life sucks some times . Tragic .
  3. You are a skillful bugger Reg and no mistake . Beautiful place .
  4. I used to be just getting ready for work when I looked out the front to see a collie curling one down on my front lawn . I knew the dog and was on nodding/hi terms with its owner . I used to get it up with a shovel and loose it in the brambles in a field next to me . It became a regular habit , so one day I posted it through his letter box . Never happened again . We still nodded hello ....?
  5. Is it welded to the clutch drum ? If so you will need to spin the drum off ( L/H) thread as per normal ...
  6. The moderator is the full length of the barrel but just cross drilled a few times ( can't remember how many ) at the muzzle end . It is chambered for 3" . If you use 2" it is about the same loudness as an un silenced air rifle . If you fire it without the mod on its as loud as a 12 bore .
  7. I have the same . Fully moderated fold up .
  8. So . Exactly what I posted then . 28ftlbs and over .22 is fine .
  9. Ok . just watched that . The cross hairs were on the bunny . So pretty close . At 35 yards plus you would need to be just above the ears for a head shot on a sub 12 .22
  10. Ok . Consider me wrong if you want . I'm cool .
  11. If you want . I am not new to shooting bud . I am nearly 66 and have been shooting since I was about 12 . I know what a well placed .22 will do . just my opinion . You missed the bit were I said I have seen the run off when struck with a low powered .22 .
  12. Disagree westphalian , westphalian, westphalian . ( respectfully ) We don't want it with a head ache . We want it dead . I'm not saying its not accurate , you can zero in ab 8ftlbs if you want but will it kill it ?
  13. And run it on Aspen , particularly if its for occasional use .
  14. Well , I don't think so . but its a buy product of the amuniti....Oh ! yes I see a double entendre ?
  15. Soon you won't be able to see the genuine human targets for the dazzle and bright lights of all HSE claptrap .
  16. I recon if its sub 12ftlbs it needs to be .177 and not .22 . At sub 12ftlbs a .177 is faster , flatter and will penetrate better than the " flop shot " you would get with a sub 12ftlbs .22 Squirrel are quite tough and I have seen them run off when hit with a low powered .22 . If you have an FAC of 28 - 30 ftlbs the yes , .22 it is .
  17. Yes mine was a Jonsered part for the J'red version of the 560 but would be the same part as Husqvarna .
  18. 562 dawgs wont fit a 560 as the clutch cover is different . The mounting holes are further apart on the outer dawg to accommodate the 3/8 clutch and rim . I got some for mine that were actually a Jonsered part .
  19. The best saw you can afford in the 50cc to 60cc range .
  20. Don't use your saw .
  21. I run Cooper AT3s . Find them a good compromise between road and off road . Good reviews .
  22. Was thinking more paple ?
