  1. Stihl big bar mount has been the same since the contra 1106. Does the 088 run a different mount, iam not so sure.....
  2. And sold to the highest bidder!!!!
  3. Can anyone point me in the direction of finding one, or can anyone make one for me. Origonal box just broke so thought an upgrade wud b a good idea! Thankz
  4. Good there holding value! And mine is in slightly better nik too
  5. Posts like this really annoy me. Why the glandestine "cant say bollox" Is this not an open forum to share and learn
  6. If you fancy one there is one on ebay at the moment. stihl 090av chainsaw rare collectable running no reserve | eBay
  7. sounds bout right, but would question soil price? is that with concrete in it and such you wouldnt buy 2t for that down here. i would also look at a better substrate type. here we can get double compost, a blend of reused garden material and arb wast mixed with sand. a very good mixture for growing veg in and have used it extensively for turf laying.
  8. I will just say that reading the posts that some of you have answered a little harsh in my view given the fact that john has yet to show it in use. At that point a fairer assesment can be made of the saw. Personally i have no experience of milling with a mizer so cannot comment on thus as such but given its marketing for small individuals who perhaps own woodland and does not need 30k of mizer this may well suit them. I wish John good luck. Simon
  9. 064, 066, 070, 088 or 090 That would b my tinkin! Or someone with a bigger saw you could hire, perhaps wiyh bloke may be cheaper than a new saw?
  10. I think the newer model does not need the bar attachment. Though bout gettin one a while back. Got lots of windblown chestnut to deal wih, the thought of a tirfor makes my arm hurt! But so does tbe cost to the wallett!!! Decisionz!
  11. A misconception, especially if you have a nut allergey
  12. 070. can you get those bearings over here? (non plastic)
  13. nice!! looks like those logs will fall apart if you where to cut a 3.5" slice off?
  14. thats good to know, as both my 090 and 070 have this configuration. my father managed to fix teh starter problem i had by making a shim insert for where it had stripped in the housing, so we all good for the time being. whilst on this 070 thread, you don't have a conversion kit from spur to rim available, if not i will try and get one but would be interested in one of the bearings that came with the 090 ones if you have any? thx s
  15. my chair, which i haven't posted a picture of, is made from bone oak with a Yew seat and back. i used 3" carpenters mates screws then made plugs and glued them in!
  16. Ive loads of English cherry boards, perhaps i need to be making a table with them rather them stacked in the barn! gr8 looking table too! simon
  17. one of these? Startertopf mit Ring für Stihl 070 090 090G Contra | eBay
  18. as its new, that may be why because its over sharp. i had that same effect when i started with a new chain and wasn't applying a steady constant force. i would try on wood that's of not much importance and get a feel for what is needed. i am not far away, if you need any help or have any timber that's a tad big!!
  19. does look a tad rough indeed! agree with Alex on the chain front bit, also wondering if the chain is new and seen little action and therefore too aggressive? also, i may of missed somewhere but is this a milling chain or standard cross cut? i have found that the older the chain i seem to get a better finish and on a 42" Oak ive just done the boards are very smooth indeed with a chain that has seem some action on the 090
  20. I ve just been using the 090 last few days millingva large oak that blew down in our garden, a few pix to follow, but here is my saw in action last year.
  21. How can that be deduced from the op's post
