been looking at the Stihl Rapid chains with a extra drive link and tie strap, claims to be a faster cutting chain and also have less cutters so less to sharpen in the field. Ian

Hi everyone, I have a husky 555 and was wondering what would be the lightest chain i could run? the lighter the chain the less the motor has to work to move it right, pick up should also be theoretically quicker too..... ok if marginally i currently run a 15' bar .325 pitch, 1.5m gauge with 64 drive links out of all the chain options, is there any one that is lighter than most? a bar change because of the gauge is obvious but how about the sprocket, would the drive links remain the same? i know this is a strange question to ask, but though it could be a good topic to debate and discus.

pete is right the do have rust problems, chasis tube, sills and rear arches are the main common ones, the rear seatbelt anchor points if its a 7 seater. most are old and high milers, but if you do pay decent money for a good looked after example, you should have no problems running one for another 5/6 year. im after one myself as there a good old fashion mechanical go anywhere truck, just cant find a decent one. atkinson daihatsu automotive is a specialist in stoke i think, if you want to know anything about them just give them a call, a very helpful bunch of lads. ian

Hi every one, My names Ian and i'm from the County Durham area, i have, just last week passed my CS30 & 31 courses. Looking to go onto the the CS32/33 & CS38 courses as soon as the funds and holidays from work allow. I am currently working full time but work shifts, alternate weeks of 6am-2pm & 2pm-10pm I am willing to offer my free time to any member on here free of charge to anyone who might want a extra pair of hands in return for experience in the tree industry. Be a great way to meet members and gain experience. I look forward to exploring the site. Ian.
