  1. Works hard but seems to cope. That was when the chains were new. Got some nice elm boards drying in the shed. You soon run out of bar with the mini mill if the log has a few branch stubs; or perhaps I was being a little ambitious with the size of log!
  2. I already have a 560 and 20" bar with ripping chain (for an Alaskan mini mill), so running normal 325 chain on this bar should be ok? (for logs, mainly dead elm). Based on previous replies I'm guessing an 8 tooth sprocket would improve performance on the 15" that I use mainly but would it be a bit much for the 20" on a 560? especially in elm?
  3. Like the vid Iain. The tractor in the foreground looks strangely familiar! Do you think the Ferrari would suit something like the 6 ton Farma? Still looking around at trailers but nothing much to suit, 6 tonner seems too big and 1.5 tonners made for quads too small. Is there any merit with steering drawbars? (not sure if yours have that) Think driving trailers a good idea? hydraulic power packs often an option (possibly on the Palms) but worth the extra? guess it all depends on ground conditions...
