Yes but it's still mounted on an Alp skyline. Same mountings though if you have Igland buttplate
-
C, were you the one looking for an Igland 8000?
-
I'm sure he did. They don't have a "travelling community" theft issue over there
-
Good to hear. Speaking from years of doing business in NI (albeit haulage industry) I suspect though that there's a maybe a wee bit more to the recovery story than meets the eye. The surprising thing is that the suspect was delivered to the police station!
-
Ok thanks Stubby, to be honest probably won't tinker with it 'till out of warranty. One of those old 365's however is definitely going to get bit of treatment. Thanks again
-
And modding muffler would just involve making outlet approx 90% of exhaust port and drilling out any internal baffles?
-
Ok, thanks
-
Got an 560xp coming (hopefully tomorrow), is it better to remove spark arrestor before autotune sets itself?? Thanks D
-
I'm sure it's covered somewhere else Eggs but exactly when is raffle being drawn? (Incidentally thanks for modding advice on the other thread)
-
Have just ordered a 560XPG (as opposed to the 550 I mentioned on the other modding thread). Asked for it to be 15" 3/8 on 8 pin sprocket so hopefully plenty of power and speed - mainly softwood it'll be cutting. Will let you know how it gets on. Cheers D
-
Ah right, location noted! Thanks for info re torque etc Cheers D
-
I should add that I'm conscious of straying into "a little knowledge is dangerous" category!
-
Appreciate the input on 550 Stubby. I've asked for it to be 3/8 13" with 8 drive sprocket (just for snedding softwood) so will see how it gets on with that configuration. Incidentally, I had a look at one of 365's today with view to take out spark screen but didn't see any wee brass screws on exhaust. If similar design exhaust to what you mentioned in another post then I assume I'll need to take exhaust off to remove screen? What I think I might do with 365 is enlarge exhaust port by 50% and see if can drill out the baffles. If this works and happy with overall effect then I'll braze a pipe in to tidy it up. Thanks again D

Many thanks Spud, understand what you mean now. Roughly what kind of percentage increase would you expect in power for a 365 with exhaust mod, is it worthwhile doing? Also got a 550xpg on way, once warranty is out would it be worth doing it also and how would the auto tune react to a mod? Appreciate you taking time for all these questions, I have mate down in Hereford next time I'm down that way I'll pop in a bottle of whisky! Cheers D
-
Spud What do you mean by "four stroking at top end"? Got a couple of 365's and fancy giving one a bit of muffler mod treatment! Cheers D

Where did the the £130 figure for self employed Sparkies come from? I left school 22 years ago and the 714s as they were then were on £100 a day. A self employed sparky will now be looking for £300 per day minimum and as someone said - all parts to complete job are sold with markup.

First pic shows Greenheart grain if that's any help in identifying, second pic... If short length was hard work how do you fancy milling this one!
-
Going by weight, hard as hell, denser than water makes me think Greenheart but never seen it cut with the grain, always been across the grain so hard to tell for sure. ... But I'd guess Greenheart. We cut lot of it along with Purpleheart, Ekki etc and it has to be TCT blade for that stuff, chainsawing it is very hard going!

<p>Hello John</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Wondered if I could trouble you for some help with briquettes.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My Old Man has bought a 3 phase briquette machine to process sawdust from our firewood processor, he's retired now so it's really just a hobby for him.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway, he's struggling to get decent quality briquettes, is there a guide anywhere to the do's and dont's? It's mainly hardwood sawdust and I wondered if there was enough lignum to bond, moisture content varies but he's trying to get it down to 8% which I believe is optimum for briquette making.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Any advice would be appreciated.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>David</p>
<p>- Incidentally, your inbox is full</p>

30 tonne log splitter, 2m stroke ArbTrader Arborists Classifieds Is how we break down big butts for loading on log deck then through Palax: http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/firewood-forum/35342-anybody-got-log-deck-5.html Cheers David

Ryan If you're going to be extracting 12,000 stems speaking from personal experience you can forget skidding, particularly without a purpose built skidder or double drum winch on forestry guarded tractor. You start tracking back and forth over a field with a few stems making a mess then you'll soon see what I mean. And if your tractor isn't guarded you'll have branches pulling pipes off engine and poking into every nook and cranny before you know it. Get yourself a good second hand trailer and crane (look for cracks, oil leaks, dropping, play in bushes/slew, valve block play, smoothness to work), then spend a few quid getting your current tractor guarded underneath and engine/radiator. Even if just a hobby getting decent gear will save you a huge amount of heartbreak! Good luck David

No idea if relevant or not but in Preferences, Compatibility. There is a check box for "check document for compatibility", this box is ticked on my version Hope works out one way or another Cheers David

Sorry, I've never tried saving a word doc into PDF. Have you tried googling for a solution? I suspect a setting somewhere must be awry

I use Macbook with Word 2011 and don't have any issues, latest installed update 14.3.2. Sorry can't offer any more practical help. David
