My 385xp, my first saw
-
It looks like it is a chainsaw, maybe it was converted, but the safety sticker on the front suggests disk cutter, or stone saw, as it says face mask as part of the ppe
-
Sounds like fuel problems, ask spud
-
You pair need to get a room
-
12.5kg! Had you planned on having to grease an actual tractor in your workshop? It's a strange inheritance for your kids!
-
Does the carb have a little brass pipe that points to the engine? It might not have a impulse line
-
just try to phase it out, but try and keep one big stem, and just top it off as a pollard, as it will hollow and provide nesting sites, also jew's ear fungus makes a good soup, and as has been suggested, make lots of booze with the flowers/fruit!!
-
It's a very fast growing woody shrub - useful for filling gaps, the bark and cambium is a reasonable thickness and can be laid, whilst the flowers and fruit have a fairly decent ecological value, and as the wood hollows and rots quick, so does that also. When filling gaps I have used elder by cutting a chunk of stem with roots and dug it into a space
-
Leave some of the elder in
-
I really would recommend buying as many of the replacement parts off eBay as possible, as I recon you might be in for a little shock when you get the repair quote
-
They collapse if they're cooked, constant chain adjustment is oil related
-
Staffordshire pattern!!!
-
Yeah, bit annoying when I have to do it in a tree I'm climbing freehand
-
Well, changed th 338xpt to aspen today, just had to turn the tick-over screw up 1/4?!
-
I used to get it at £15 for 20L but I used to turn the oiler right down or half a tank of fuel and the chain would be dry
-
Ah now I know where to buy cheap olive oil and mastic gum then
-
And so ends the homoerotic banter for another night
-
Nah 560 is small enough, 550 will make you too flick happy, I bought a 346 when I started my new job on a golf course, after 3 months I had destroyed over 100 trees
-
I will say the smaller huskys are more fun to throw around, and once ya start, you ain't gonna have any olives or mastic left
-
It's not the size! As I have said many times before, I have felled over twice my bar length with a 35cc saw. See picture left <- Many of the small saws are robust enough to withstand the abuse of new or inexperienced users, sometimes it isn't possible to pay the extra for a bigger saw
-
It has one cutter every 4 drive links, a gap of a cutter to clear the chips
-
Which on a 92dl chain means you only have 23 teeth hardly seems worth the cost! You're better off having an 18" bar and learning to cut over bar length, I use a 28" bar on my 385 but it has more power to pull through the cut, just don't do many trees as its a little heavy
-
You've missed the point, he wants an entry level saw, so either a small pro-saw or a semi pro, such as 545,555 or a 365 or the stihl equivalents
-
No, the .325 is a lighter chain requiring less of the power to pull round the bar, allowing more power in the kerf (cut), also with such a long bar a 3/8 chain would sap the power a lot more, I have used a 60cc saw with 3/8 chains and I don't find they pull as well as a .325
-
I love when people ask advice on what small saw to get, the suggested saws just get larger, maybe a 3120 or ms880 would be suitable for his bit of firewood:001_tt2:
