would agree there. the saw just pulls, not matter what you give it. if you listen carefully the saw is actually hitting the rev limiter if when in the main cut 47" in it just keeps on goin and goin rob has probably used an 880 more than me, my last big saw use was an 088 but that was a few years back, and even further back when I started my old boss had an 090 which I only used a few times so couldn't compare them directly for you. simon

that nasty heap is worth more in scrap mate. was awefull there was nail all over, never seen anything like it in 17yrs. and that's all up and down the trunk, let alone the 1/2" gauge rebar that's grown in the fork!!! on a side not rob, how do I get the video to show without a link?

and some. the final slab cut in the video was a full 48" wide, cut down the grain without ripping chain, was dogged in real hard with double hand rear handle lift and it did not bog down. running a 7 pin sprocket of course. awesome old school grunt . that thing cuts like a coke dealer

Had this real nasty knuckle head of a tree to fell for a friend of mine. was riddled with wire nails, staples more wire and more nails! would of been worth more as scrap value rather than log value!. films takes a little while to load, as its 11min in total. not sure if this will link to it or be in line on here. thanks for looking at my first job with the 090 and first video too:biggrin: simon 50" Oak and Me

having just bought the fast tach Spud, do you therefore use the max feature and adjust back from that, as I noted on a hedge trimmer the reading was dancing all over. getting ready to fine tune the 090 2mrw morn in the neighbour hood. you know, a 137cc wake up call of the greater stihl bird type

self employed how much can i work for one company?
Big Beech replied to Arran Turner's topic in Employment
real time information. over rthe past 15yrs, I've never had an issue either being a subby, or now as the boss. as noted if you are constantly working the same hours and days and exact same pay etc. then yes should be on the books. but the way we get around this is we change our weekly work around, so this week is 3 days, next week is looking like 4days etc. etc. and if you have your own work as well showing there should not be an issue -
shame about the nails, always a risky game!! whats your thoughts on a double header setup? simon
-
Ummmm. £500 for 3hrs. I wish i could charge that!!!!

Very cool way of winching your Alaskan up the log
Big Beech replied to Rob D's topic in Panther Mill UK
Thinkin, why not use a metal marque peg or similar wacked in tk the ground a few feet from the end of the log. Then usin a small pulley (washing line?) And a small sling strop with a simple monkey fist knot you can just slde the sling up n down as neeeded. -
