A LOT of old new second hand chainsaw parts getting cleared!
HuntingHicap replied to littlelionlee88's topic in Chainsaws
Very interested in parts for: 3120xp 395xp 346xp 254xp -
My bad, you are right I was getting mixed up. I do fair bit of pre planning site clearance work, and find K&H and hilifts both good for felling large hardwoods. I bought a plastic insert for my Hilift but it caused horrible bounce back, since have change back to the wood insert and double ringed it.
-
K&H wedges are good, but when I did mine don't think I hardly used a wedge, mostly just a felling lever.

Hi Erik post more pics please mate....you have some awesome kit, different world to this side of the pond. Notice you run a 395xp, is this ported?
-
A 395xp has a chain break handle fixed to the side cover so definitely wouldn't fit. Possibly a 390xp/576xp side cover might fit but don't know why you would. Your saws are very shiney, do you cut much?
-
The spikes on this look remarkably like the ones on my 576xp, which don't require drilling anything.
-
are you sure about that? Not sure if it would actually fit, or even why you would do that. You can order a set of more aggressive dawgs for the 572xp, there was one in the display area at the apf with them and a full wrap handle on it.

Nice truck! Funny thing is recently there has been an influx of ex Aussie army mogs into the UK, how come you didn't go for one of those?

Cheers.

Near Gatwick, how soon do you need them gone?

I have a 14', how long are the two smaller butts? if they are a bit shorter and could be pushed up to the front should balance the bigger bit over hanging the back slightly?

Two ifor williams loads? Could I collect?

I have used the coos bay cut described in the linked thread successfully but you do need to be careful not to get the saw pinched.
-
Good thread here.

They can also be lethal in the hands of the unwary. I have a mate who was lucky not to have a smashed jaw when he got smack in the side of the face by the handle while it was under load.
-
Second this. Lots of cheap 576s, 372s and 365s on ebay at the moment. Probably due to the launch of the 565 and 572xp. Any of these saws will comfortably pull a 24", and up to 28" if you don't lean on it too hard.

Having been involved in harvesting organic wheat once or twice I agree with the above. A combine was barely necessary. Scissors and a bucket would have worked.

This. I have x27, its brilliant. I also have Gransfors Splitting axe, and would love their maul. I've also got the husqy splitting maul, the orange handled (dunno what its called) husky splitting axe which i use for banging in wedges, and the Helko Vario 2000 which is a massive beast but good for stubborn logs.

Is anyone using an American pickup for residential tree work?
HuntingHicap replied to Dbikeguy's topic in General chat
Parts expensive to buy and very bulky. If you want a towing beast, buy a Discovery 3 or 4 that has had a new engine/gearbox, or save a few grand back in preparation for doing it. They tow lovely, masses of space inside, but mechanical issues do and will happen. That said with regular maintenance (which few of them get) they aren't so bad. -
Domestic/homeowner saw I believe. If you are looking to go full time at some point best to go for a pro saw, a reasonable 346xp can usually be found for a few hundred quid.

Having wasted my time and effort discussing guns on a certain other tree related forum with a high US membership, I have changed my thinking on this. We are ruled over by a monarchy/goverment, we have never had a successful revolution, and the guns we can have are only those that we are allowed by our government for the purpose of hunting or target shooting. Whereas the USA is a republic I think, they have the right to bear arms in order to rise up in defence of the freedom they secured in their revolution. This has bitten them on the arse in the last few years as we have all seen, but I certainly don't have any answers as to how to sort this.

I've actually got one of these air pistols, I can't see the link you have posted, but mine is a co2 power jobby, 8 shot I think, the max limit for these is 6 ftlbs, it will only dent the end of an empty beer can. The one you have posted may well be more powerful, but as lads we used to dick around shooting at each other with this sort of thing, I am afraid you may well be disappointed with its performance. The biggest danger I can see is being shot at by plod if you or someone else is waving it around. Some armed forces are jitterier than others.

One on ebay atm for 500 quid...seems cosher...its not mine, I would be buying it if I hadn't just bought a 395xp so am skint.
