I found with my truck that it wont do a self re gen if there is less than a quarter of a tank of fuel and if its due for a service . The injector that squirts fuel into the DPF to burn it out is disabled if there is not more than a quarter of a tank of fuel .

Blue skys in every direction this morning with a nice breeze .

I have been monitoring a row of 15 ash trees near me , on the river bank . There were , over the last 3 years some of them ( probably 3 or 4 ) that showed obvious signs of Chalara . The trees either side showed no problems . This year however the few that looked infected now look to be healthy and in full leaf . There is the odd dead stick but nothing like previously . Do you think these trees are " shrugging " it off and recovering ? It certainly looks that way .

What was the thought behind dropping the compression Andrew ?

I thought the 560 and the 562 were the same capacity engine wise . The 562 has a larger crankshaft end and the outer bucking dawgs mountings are further apart to accommodate the 3/8ths drive but power wise I thought they were the same ?

I considered red oak for a second but circular scallops ( for want of the correct term ) are much more pronounced in a red oak . Maybe Quercus Pagoda ( Cheery Oak ) ?

Yes you are pretty much right . Most saws seem to come as standard with a 7 pin . All my saws are ported so , dependent on bar lenght they can run a 9,8 or standard 7 pin . For example my ported 560 with a 18" bar will pull really well with an 8 pin . my ported 372 has a 24" bar and I find it better on a 7 pin . For any given bar lenght the faster the chain speed ( 8 or 9 pin )the less torque you have . There is a sweet spot and you will find it when you cut wood . Another thing to consider is a standard chain loop will accommodate an 8 pin over a standard 7 pin but will need another driver link in it fi you go above that .

Yes . I was going to offer an Oak of some description .

Yes , I just watched that . WTF indeed .

We are all gutted for you ( not that that helps ) and only mean to sympathize with your situation . You are one of many . I am sure any one who is a member on here would keep a watchful eye and be on the lookout for your chipper . Really sorry to hear about it .

I have been following the war in Ukraine daily since it started . And what is happening now has been building for some months . Prigozhin and his Vargner mercenary army have suffered heavy losses in their attempt to take the ruin that is Bahkmot ( spelling ) and " hand " it over to regular Russian forces only to see it being taken back by Ukraine . He has been super critical of Putins generals without actually criticizing Putin directly . After accusing the Russian artillery of shelling his men and mining their withdrawal it is not surprising that he is now marching on to Moscow . I think Putins days are numbered and Russia will end up divided into many smaller states , each ruled over by assorted " gangsters . Just my take . Ah , just seen this has all been covered in the other recent thread specifically about the war . Ignore this old duffer !
