I'd be interested to know what type/brand of bars and chains are folk here using on their WP36. I've been using an Oregon Controlcut 15" bar with Oregon 21LPX 72 link full chisel. Have also used the Oregon semi chisel (21BPX) and didn't notice much difference. With at setup I can process clean hard or softwood all day with a hand sharpening at end of each day. I find the chain lasts well. As previous mentioned, maintaining cutter length is key, they don't like uneven chains.

If there are any hand cutters in the Cardiff area looking for some work please message me.

Yeah I'm interested in getting one of these timber trailers also, Kranman lead times are currently around 6 months though. The other ones I've seen are Vahva Jussi 320/400 and Avesta Vagnen supplies by Marshall logging and Fuelwood respectively. Does anyone have any experience of the quality of these 2 brands and how they compare to Kranman?

I wonder if any of the readers on here could help me withja slight problem with my petrol wp36. When extending the ram to split a log, the ram on occasions isn't returning automatically back to the start position. I've oiled all the visible moving parts which seems to help a little but hasn't solved the problem! Anyone had a similar problem and fixed it? Cheers

Anyone use vented bags for seasoning, storage and delivery?
bushtuckaman replied to farmer_ben's topic in Firewood forum
I'm looking to process a portion of my firewood production straight into vented bags this year as a trial, but I'm slightly concered about processor waste material getting in the bags. I'm currently using a farmi WP36 to process into large pallet structures and handballing the processed/seasoned logs into the builders bag on the truck for delivery, but looking to cut this handling out of the equation! In amongst my log stack there is alot of processor waste ie. pieces of bark, wood chips/flakes, ivy, moss and even mouse nests etc I'd be interested to know if people are finding this a problem for customers and/or the drying process of logs in vented bags. Do customers minds this extra ditritus in the bags, some i supose may consicer it useful kindling! -

Thanks WW! It's oiling the chain properly i believe, I'm just topping it up for the first time. I'm obviously not putting enough wood through it ;-)

I was wondering if anyone could help. I have a WP36 and need to top up the hydralic oil Do i need to use any paricular type of hydralic oil in it, could anyone recommend a good brand and a reasonably priced supplier? Should I empty the tank and refill with new/clean? I've had it 1 yr, second hand and it was 3/4 full when I got it.

I'm making hard work of uploading pics here!! Thanks for the advice gents! The cracks don't look like the type to cause it to come apart, more asthetic issue and potential to get bigger. The tree can down summer before last, at which point I halved the rings, pva'd the endgrain and stored in a barn to dry.

Hello, I'm reasonably new to turning and was after a little advice if possible plz! I've got a bit of walnut on the lathe atm with an endgrained crack penetrating deeper than expected. Bowl is currently 14 inch across. What's the best tactic here, try to turn it out and potentially half the bowl diameter or leave the cracks in and make it a 'feature' of the bowl?

I'm in the same boat as you John and have also toyed with getting a 6 way, only had the machine 6 months though. I was thinking maybe I could get a 6way made for me by an engineeering firm at half the cost of the off the shelf one!?

<p>Hello there, I saw you post on one of the forums and was wondering if you could give me a rough idea of your prices of you imported logs, based on delivery to the Cardiff area</p>
<p>Regards</p>

I bought a Fiskar X27 last year £45. Very impressed with it. Lightweight and yet has the splitting power of a heavier tool, can use it for hours on end!
-
How quickly does it season plz? I cut/split one up recently and was wondering if it would be ready for this winter, stores outdoors under cover on a breezy hillside field. I've not encountered it before so have no clue on its seasoning time.

Thanks for the info gents, not such a good firewood then! ;-/
