Need to upgrade from a Husqvarna 435 - Recommendations please!
Stubby replied to twinkletoes's topic in Chainsaws
Great saw ( when you got a goodun ! ) but a forestry saw really . Cross cutting fire wood all day I would choose the 365/372 . -
Just to throw another one in the mix ....I have used a Cadet Cud Zero turn mower with a 25hp Kawasaki engine . About a 48 or 50 inch deck . The thing I liked about it was the fact that it is zero turn but with a steering wheel rather than sticks . As you turn the steering wheel the inside drive wheel slows and the outer speeds up and if you make 90 degrees with te steering wheel the inside drive wheel goes backward and the outer forwards making it highly maneuverable and ...dare I say it ... a pleasure to use . I only had a side discharge but a mulching deck is available for it .

Hope your " little stigma " gets better

For the work you describe I would go for the Husqvarna 365Xtorque . Will run an 18" or 20" lemon squeazy . Also simple mod to make it into a 372 . Just grind off the fins on the inside of the transfer cvers and bingo a 372 for 365 money ! -
Had one one my MS200t until I sold it and found it to be perfectly fine . It cut a bit faster and I don't remember it being any more expensive .

The standard 3/8 low pro chain that comes on an MS200t is a " safe " chain . Stihl do make a full chisel for it which is more aggressive . As for logging saws full or semi chisel is a personal thing . If the wood is clean then I prefer full chiz . Semi skip and full skip are for longer bars . They help stop the tendency for the chain to " bog " when buried the full length of the bar . Semi skip and full skip can be bought in both full and semi chisel .

You makes I fair chuckle -
Good wannit ?

Ok here is what happens to me . I have a couple of wood stores out side and one in the garage . All filled with the same split wood in the early summer/late spring . The wood out side dries out much faster than the wood in the garage but come the winter the wood out side has regained some moisture where as the wood in the garage has now reached the moisture content that the outside wood achieved early on in the year and remains that low as you start to burn it .
-
Well done S.T. that is what I was going to suggest looking at as they are prone to split after a while ...as you well know bud !
-
Stunning !
-
Dry wood will absorb moisture from the air in the same way wet wood will give it up to the air .
-
Yep . You can only use them as a compariter really .

Looks like Jons cizzer store
-
Yes he did . He replied a few posts back bud .

I remember that on a push bike crank , if and when the metal gage collapsed you could remove the shrapnel of the old cage and just replace it with one extra ball . Stick them in with some grease and it lasted for ever . Anyone tried adding an extra rollar and leaving the cage out ?
-
Lots of people on here ..... Clutch bearings , crank replacement , that sorta thing .
-
You would have thought so ....

Rasberry Lucozade Sport .

I would say even if its as hot or hotter out side the humidity would be higher . warm dry wind is the best for outside rather than out right high temp . Life is a compremise
-
Hot sunny , part cloud . Humid . Thunder storm tonight a possibillity . COME ON YOU QUINS !
-
I heard that the crank end were ground slightely oval ?
-
Are you saying its worth getting banged to go on the course ?
