    Yes I did and already thinking I have made a mistake. It's a gutless and pig to start. Not used a small saw in years so maybe just needs getting used to and a few more tanks of fuel. Guess it's a standard bar and chain. Didn't spec anything special.

    No need from our local hire shop. Pretty much give your details and take it away for £100 a day

    As Jon said try Rob D. Got some off him a while back and he chucked in a load more than I ordered. Chainsawbars ? chainsaw chains, chainsaw bars and chainsaw accessories

    Just read that it's looking good for the next 2 weeks especially for us in the south west. Beginning of September is often a good period of weather and sounds like this year is no exception.

    Watched the 360 being demoed at shows at it's not exactly grease lightning but I am sure a log deck would speed things up over the Farmi. Loading the the lifter is tiring over the day and does slow things down somewhat. If you get a lot of small wood I don't think anything is as fast as the Farmi. Hydraulics are not as fast as a motivated man

    Ye sounds like a dealer problem. Picked a little ms181 from Radmore & Tucker last week and was handed to me warm having had them set it and given a run.

    This little repair looks pretty easy [ame] [/ame] He could do with some sharper cutters though

    Billets are fine if you want to have little machinery and cheap manpower but they are so slow to make and later cut. Maybe a good option if you can only get oversized timber. Don't know what quality timber you get but I seem to get a lot of misshapen stuff so it make lousy billets and then there are all the end logs to deal with unless you can get wood in perfect lengths. Takes me 25-30min to split a m3 of billets and nearly the same again to cut to length. On the processor the same wood goes straight to logs in 20-25 min. Billets do dry well and can be stored cheaply stacked on pallets. Pros and cons to both but I am firmly in the logs camp and not bothered making any billets this season.

    I have the Clark forest one Log Jack | Clark Forest : Logging It's good at the rolling but tends to fall sideways as the base is small. You could knock out the black bungs and wedge in a length of wood to extend its base but then is going to make it cumbersome. A few guys on here have one from Rob D and seem to rate it. Think it must be this one Products for the category: Forestry equipment Might be worth doing a search on here for the Woodchuck. Welcome to Arbtalk

    Taken 9 days to cut it all up! Only working on my own but must have been doing at least 10 ton a day so makes the stack 90 ton minimum. Thought that was a hell of alot to cut in 3 days.

    Presume if I fit a separate tank and run on rapeseed oil it would be OK?
  18. Woodworks
    You also worried about breathing the vapours? I could break into the oil line by the tank and add a separate oil tank but had hoped there might be a simple option.
  19. Woodworks
    You say that Paul but it's too far east for some of us

    Been logging up a large pile of wood for a chap with the processor. I asked how long it taken to cut and he said 2 Polish guys had cut, sned and stacked the whole lot in 3 days. It was all small plantation ash and alder with diameters from 6" -10" and was left in the lengths upto 20' or whatever was man handleable for it's size. So how much would you expect to cut in that time? I can have guess at how much it was from the processing but be interested to see what 2 guys should be able to do in 3 days before saying how much I thought there was there.

    Just make it up as you go along Red wine bottle cap makes a quick nose. Legs well chop them down until you're happy with them. Hardest bit I had was finding the right twigs for the antlers.
