Leave the screw out .

Giant puffball . Cut it before it breaks down and the sports come out . When its nice and white like in the pic . Fry it in some garlic butter . I used to live on them when I was skint .

Why not hydraulic ? You can have hydraulic in both electric and petrol or diesel come to that . Any way if you don't want hydraulic then the only two I can think of woul;d be a cone splitter ( either run of a tractor pto or with its own engine ) or the just recently imported " rapid fire " type splitters which have a petrol engine turning a fly wheel which then engages a pinion on a rack and fires the wedge a relatively high speed down the log .

Think it burns fine when dry ( as you would expect ) . Some one once said on here " the trouble with willow is when its wet its full of water and when its dry its full of air .
-
That would be mine
-
Even better !

Like I said Spark it will take 10 mins on that thickness . Problem would be finding a tank big enough ( for the dilectric fluid ) to take the bar !
-
Yea . I was pretty sure it was 2 years .

If its like the saws I have its a push fit ( tight ) on a plain section in the crank case half that forms the oil tank . You just drive them back into the tank and retrieve them with a magnet or a bit of bent welding rod or similar . They don't " unscrew " they have a head which stops them pulling out when you tighten .

Spark it with a copper or graphite electrode . Simples
-
No . Just to set it start it up and cut . It says the full length of the bar for a few mins . This is the first time you use it ever . After that just rev it hard for a few seconds in fresh air when you fire it up in the morning for the first time . The thing is its constantly adjusting to the conditions all the time . Mine did run dry once and it was all over the place so I took it in . The guy plugged it in to the pc in the work shop and reset the carb. It took seconds . He did say that if I persevered with it it would have reset its self though .

Now you say that , yea . It did look strange ......

Sorry for the " frontier gibberish " there Pat. What was your location when cutting that long hedge ?
-
Pfanner Zermatts
-
Were you at there then Pat ??
-
I thought that . Dust coming off ......

It will be as good to start with and gradually get better . Set the A/T cutting hard in a big lump for a while . Rev it hard when you first start it in the morning for a few seconds and you will hear the revs gradually peak . It will be fine after that . Take the spark screen out . Check you have the latest strop attachment . ( all black with no grey bit ) . Some people have had a problem with the tightening of the bar nut . Not been a problem on mine though . When the fuel is at the top of the sight window its half full . Try not to run it right out of fuel . The A/T might need re setting .
-
No worries bud . Have one for me !
-
Don't need the mill just the vertical sparker . Like a Hurco or Sparkatron ?
-
I saw em too . Don't know who it was though .
-
Mmmm . No not the wire erosion , that works like a band saw if you see what I mean . What I need is the vertical type that would be akin to a drill or vetical mill .
-
Yea but it was the actual blade of grass he nominated .........
