88"!?! Even with a grinder, that's long and laborious! Imagine hand sharpening... Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

How long is a piece of string? It varies on many things, I've found nails in the middle of trees, stones where two branches have grafted together, harder wood where sparks have come off the chain, and gritty wood where I've cut a branch and needed to resharpen, on the other hand, I've used a saw a week and not even needed to touch up the chain, you wanna complain about 36"? I've got a 60" bar that I'll have to sharpen a chain on, but, buy a grinder if you don't wanna hand sharpen, there are a few battery powered dremel types available Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Yup, seems strange, you'd have thought the logical plural would be mongeese Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Plenty of big old stihls on eBay, from the 051 up to an 076, only one 070 though, and 2 contra's Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Not with the early crank case, the later AV mount case you can, I converted a contra super into an 090, and fitted the later AV handles by making an adaptor Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

I would guess you'd be paying around that price from a dealer, maybe less, you can always ring up for a quote Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

how are they getting round the shil policy or are these saws stolen ?
Eddy_t replied to d-raittuk's topic in General chat
Well considering it's only nipping branches off, I don't see what difference it makes where the handle is, if you're holding both handles it's safe, otherwise are the stihl 07, 08 and 009 only allowed up a tree? I've seen a fair few used for chopping logs on the floor. And at risk of being branded a heretic, as I'm working at chest height or above, I only need a lid and gloves Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App -

I use my topper whilst riding round on the big ride-on at work, the small saw fits behind the seat, just whip it out when I get a face full of branch Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App -
Probably an over-stretched 3/8 chain, have heard some people switch up a sprocket once the chain is very worn, especially as an 048 is fairly small for a .404 chain (70-80cc range) Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

http://www.arboristsite.com/chainsaw/25029.htm I think the video to answer your question may be this link, but I can't check it, as it won't load on my phone, the 090 proves to be faster under load Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Husky dealer? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Age, the early stihl bars were made in Canada, but haven't been since the 80's, as for chain, if it wasn't stihl fitted it was oregon And all .404 chain is .063 gauge, even husky Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

That's what I mean, just giving max power is useless, even with the German forestry thing, it's still useless, the power curves are far more useful as it gives a better idea across the rpm range, who ever pushes the saw right down to mid-low rpm for max torque? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Quenching the steel in used engine oil will increase the carbon of the steel and blacken the steel, so only the edge will be shiny once sharpened. With a propane bottle, you can either have an open top, or a windowed tank, a friend of mine made a windowed version, it heats quicker and has a higher temperature, just remove the valve, fill with water and cut Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

PA6 is easy enough, you've just gotta do a bit of maths, and keep an even speed when you walk. What course you work on? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

You can't sell it now, mine would have been back through the dealer's window by trip number 4, why didn't your dealer just give you a new one? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

The 385 was the predecessor of the 390, in fact, all but the cylinder and piston are the same Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

That's why my 090 will be driven by aspen from now on! That is the oil pump, driven by the impulse from the crank, so it's an air leak, in the oil tank... Not an easy job Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
