Theres a program called Extreme Loggers starting this Wednesday at 9pm on Quest. Not sure if it's an old program or fairly recent - I haven't seen it before. Just thought I'd give people a heads up.

Do you put your wood in bags or in a pile?
Ashes_Firewood replied to ash_smith123's topic in Firewood forum
Think so, not looked around to see where is cheapest. Could save a lot of time so maybe worth the £5 in that respect, even better if reusable. -

I'm seriously thinking about getting vented bags, would save me a bit of handling and I can only store so much in my shed so these could be outside with a tarp just on the top. Where do you get yours from? I'm guessing they would weigh less than a big bale even if full of green oak? -
I'll PM you swinny but it was in South Cumbria and yeah he had a couple of other saws for sale as he had stopped doing treework. He said it hadn't done much work and turns out he was right

Cheers Spud. Looks like I've got a good one! Looking forward to using it. Going to get a 20" bar and a 24" bar for it I think. Should give me enough options and then I've got my Husky 440 for snedding and any smaller stuff Just out interest I notice Husqvarna say you can run a 28" bar on the 372... anyone done it?

Looks a neat bit of kit if it lives up to its claims...
-
I think I'll put it through parcel2go as engine parts. It's well packaged up in a sturdy box and filled all round with bubble wrap so I can't see there being any problem! parcel2go is the cheapest by far for using Yodel.

I've got a chainsaw that I need to post but just went on parcel2go and looked at their restricted items list and chainsaw is on the list... Are there any couriers I can send a chainsaw with? Presumed other people on here must have couriers they use for sending saws

The back is ok as the wood is stacked up, the wire is more there to form a line to stack up to and its sheltered at the back. The ends will get boarded over for winte. It's solid as a rock with all the bracing. The overhangs are doing their job so far, there's a clear few hundred mm of dry ground around the shed when it rains. I've always got the option of sticking a sheet along the front if I find rain starts to get in during wilder weather. But then I've got the problem of securing the sheet so it doesn't blow away

The chain moves a tiny bit sometimes at idle. I'm not planning on using it till I've had a few things done to it and had it checked over. I've only started it up and revved it to make sure it runs ok. I've another saw I'll use till I know this one is 100%. Thanks for the replies and parts site suggestions
-
Spent a fair few hours using mine now. Fantastic, it's worth every penny. No fatigue like with swinging heavy splitting mauls around.

Bought a 2nd hand Husky 372xp that needs a new bar & chain. Going to tidy it up a bit generally too. Anyway. Noticed there's a metallic noise when I turn the chain by hand, is it something to worry about? Made a little video, hopefully you can hear what I mean. [ame=http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eZgxQI9PDxE]YouTube - 372xp noise[/ame] Also does anyone know a good website to get genuine Husqvarna spare parts from? Things like mufflers and sprocket covers? & guide bars and chains... Thanks

Paid more than USA but less than UK shops. Fact is you cant get it from the USA any more so if you want one you've got to spend a bit more
-
I've ended up getting one off a member on here. Should be getting delivered today if the courier gets its act together but that's another story!
-
As impressive as it is that's a disaster waiting to happen working at that kind of speed. I really don't like band saws. I'm surprised they are legal?
-
Depends on the size of the bag?
-
I had a reply from someone at Amazon that didn't really say much. Just said something like sorry you haven't been able to make the purchase, this item is not available for delivery to the UK. Please order from Amazon UK... must have cottoned on to people buying them for cheap from America instead of the UK.
-
lol I've been using my Amazon UK details on the Amazon US site. It will let me order an X25 but not an X27. Got to be something to do with the X27 being longer. Frustrating!
-
I've emailed them to see what they say about it. I literally only get as far as the delivery address page and it says that item can't be delivered to my address. The pay duty box you are on about must be on the payment page which I can't even get as far as. Fancy buying one for me?
-
Just reading through the help section on Amazon and it's basically because the X27 is too long for them to post to the UK. They will post an X25 but I'm bothered it's going to be too short...? There is no way I am paying UK prices now I have seen how cheap they are in America.
-
Approx. 14m3. I'll have to store the rest in vented bulk bags and log nets with the top covered with tarps, maybe build another shelter at some point. Obviously will keep re-filling the shelter as I sell it. I'm not turning over huge quantities. I've done the throw it in a big pile thing and found out about the mould problem before
-
I can't order the X27 either because of my address! I'm wanting the X27 & X7 but don't want to pay the UK prices...
-
Are they single use bags really then? Turns out expensive if they are
-
Quite a decent size that. Do you think you will have issues with mould in the centre of the pile when it's full? Part of the reason I went for long and narrow was that this way I know I won't get any mould in the stack.

The ones MCA Kingstone sell on eBay seem to be cheaper than anywhere else I have seen
