How have you tuned it? My 090 did thd same when first tuned and in wood. Started from scratch as per manual. Found i had the h screw leaned out too much. 8k max rpm. Mines tached 7250 give or take. Now runs like a raped Gorrilla!! http://m.youtube.com/index?&desktop_uri=%2F

A little bid of video of the large Oak that I cut for Alex. When someone says "its big, 8ft wide" you think yeh, and? But to see that size of log in the wood is something else The first few images show the saw against the tree at its widest, just over 8ft top end. even taking the first knuckle of was near bar length I am 6ft 2", and I am standing on logs when cutting to get height to work at. during the main cut, the saw was just so impressive and you will see me shake my head in disbelief to how that thing just pulls in big wood full bar buried and heavily leaned on as well. Awesome sorry for the cap video, and for some reason the audio is slightly out. Simon original thread: http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/alaskan-mill/47539-large-oak-mill.html

090. Thats a contra half bake

Hard to find and most ive used over past 15yrs. Wilkonsonword anvils. Black handles, next to no orange on them. Scats do them locally to me as does a local nursery. Put it this way. When i see them on the shelves i buy 3 pairs, not because there crap far from it. Boys leave them in the hedges!!!!! Very good tool.

Thats my mates old landy! My old boss had a 150 with full size tipper 200tdi. F reg. That had the normal tranmission but in difflok was 6 wheel drive. Not as stated in post above. Unless this differed after Sams b plate? And these are subject to hgv plating every six weeks is it? Cant recall.

WOW. Now thats good!!!

Ha Just looked at that link Alec. Looked at there phone code then addresz. About 4miles from here as the crow flys. And uncannily our neighbour is a drummond
-
To give u an idea. It took 11mins to cut a 12ft board with a new chain.

A bigger saw ideally. Rhob, who started milling the beech went thru/ melted, as i understand it two needle bearings on his 088. Do not under estimate milling timber or timber of big diameter. Ported or not.

Good luck millin 36" width with 660.softwood possibly.oak ir beech buy a bigger cc saw. Just milled a beech butt width 32" with 48"bar (check milljn forum). That was with an 090 137cc. Hard goin. Just sayin.

Iam sure Harry at Copford saw mill will share his experience of rushing things and may even provide some images I think you will get many answers, all saying the same thing. Dont rush it!!!
-
no problemo. will post some other images so people can gauge the size of it!!!

yes, oak came down about two years ago. and its off the deck too keeping soil and moisture at bay. off to see Alex tomorrow and his monster 6ft Oak. another job for the 090 I knew there was a reason I bought one. get you boys out of trouble simon -

yeh, 2" they asked for as the needed as many as they could get. only sharpend once mid way, as the chain was new to start with the saw performed spot on, so much grunt too hand was good. I am guessing that you may be running an 8 pin on your 88 hence bearing failure? I do have longer rails, but didn't need them. it was tight, as even though you took the side off it maxed out in the end near to 33" due to the angle of the side cut. Ive milled oak up to 29" with my 056av, that was quite soft compared to that beech. so I am going to say the big burr oak should be a bit easier than this beech, even if its another 18" wider -

Rhob, yep all done my friend. met with both Matt and Tom on site 9 am yesterday morning. had a task trying to get in though, which eventually took 50mins!!! I did 6 more boards in total. some things I learnt: Beech of that size is HARD AS NAILS!! Beech of that size is HEAVEY Beech of that size is a pain in the ASS!!! I can see why your saw melted the bearings. even with the bad boy 090 it was slow going with an average board taking 11mins to cut, and one tank of fuel per cut but it has given me an idea of how this other big beech I have to mill is going to be like cutting, thats approx. 40". I am not quite so keen now, but the planks wont be the 12ft that that's for sure. I will let them be 6ft max:001_smile: there will be a short video too at some point! any more, let me know Simon

where did you find those smilies, have not seen those in the list before
-
I know. wanna buy mine? NOT :001_tt2:

I use an older 056av which has plenty of torque, an 064 which has some balls too for milling, all running a 36" bar. a max cut of 29". so look around for an ebay job, and save some pennys that's where my two came from. for proper work the big dog is employed!
-
but for what its designed for ( me in the woods where vehicle access is limited!!) it would be ideal. just wish I had a need for one :-(
