Yeah, but the 201tm isn't due here before summer
-
560xp, 385xp, 090. I would prefer if they had heated handles
-
Any decent supplier of Oregon or Stihl parts!
-
Well done! Time to start doing it and learning! Although I prefer to use a Danish pie over split level, never used since the course! You best buy yourself a shiny new saw as a reward!
-
You taking any off the base of the cylinder or are the aftermarket pistons taller?
-
Husky 385xp, although it's had a new crankcase, crankshaft, cylinder, 2 pistons, 2 carbs, and other miscellaneous bits! Plastics and the muffler are still original though!
-
You could, but you wouldn't be able to move!
-
Husky has a no-picture policy, you can talk about it all you like. That is how we know that the 572 and 590 are under development!
-
Matty uses a hammer too?! At least I'm not the only one!
-
Oh yeah, cjm, you may have just lost your mates husky testing deal!
-
Those springs aren't new! I saw em 4 months ago! Likewise, software updates are regular, in the 2 years between my 560's manufacture and the APF, there were over 10 updates. Timing and porting is usually how they improve the saw.

Are you denying it?
-
It's actually 7 for one reason only, PPE! 8t means you need class 2 trousers, 9 would be class 3, but trousers aren't made to that spec
-
Jon didn't touch a drop during the daytime when I saw him, and he still maintains he doesn't drink! Now Mr silky, I did see him put away a fair bit of gut-rot! Eggs is another who can take a fair bit...
-
clear as day!
-
It says 24" in the manual, which is the largest you can get in k095 mounts!
-
Never in a woodland! You get it hung up, then the pointy end buries itself!
-
18" 9t .325

The Humboldt doesn't retain the hinge any longer, or break sooner than a standard gob. It's the angle of the cut, or if it involves a Dutchman! The Humboldt was developed for large timber milling. The butt hits the ground first, taking away a lot of shock and reduces timber shake! Stubby, you should try the double blancmange cut, it blows up the dust and chip, and gives you a bacon sarnie to go with the tea!

Can anyone please help with this serious accident?

Ganoderma is quite slow at decay, to knock down a lime that large, you're talking at least 5 years. It would also be high priority due to targets beneath. There should be historical survey/inspection records. If the inspection is within 5 years and notes the fungus, it's the tree-owners fault, if the survey is over 5, the same again. If it's within 5 years, but has no mention of the fungi, it's the surveyor. But, if the fungus is noted within the 5 years, but the tree has a TPO, you're going to have to chase up any applications made for the tree. -
And if it is the carb and lines, get a swear box to save for a new saw

That's one part of the whole system I can't understand, how does it control the timing, the timing is fixed point (ie, the magnets). This produces a pulse, unlike the old points ignition, which charged a capacitor and created a short circuit as its timing. After all, why bother with a key on the flywheel? Next question is why the Americans advance the flywheel and gain power if the autotune alters the timing? How does it know the optimal time? Does it know? Can it think? What does it think of the flakey silver paint? No, it's a chainsaw! It creates a spark by induced current and multiple coils around a lump of iron that operate at peak speeds. Impulses cannot be stored, advanced or retarded, especially by a microchip and some magnetic valves. Altering the timing is the same regardless of model, era or any fancy gadgets.

Yup, depending on size and species, I've done 45 deg with connies and willow (that's 45 degrees of twisting as it falls).
-
Nice grain, very stable, a pig to cut (very hard), much softer when wet (like iron when dry)
-
Good evening a soft Dutchman is where the flat-cut of the gob extends past the point of intersection of the angled cut on one side only (the side you want the tree to move away from) as this closes first and breaks the hinge. This is coupled with an angled hinge, where the thicker side pulls the tree in that direction.
