case mx270

Just starting to get things together for my log splitter project I have two different rams at my disposal but how do I work out the splitting force of a ram ?

i have never tried the DCS500 or the ps500 they call that model the farmers favourite .what do they cut like and are they well balanced :thumbup:

Its been a good saw

just noticed this thread and I wondered if the Dolmar saw is any cheaper than Makita ?

Makita have an offer on at the moment for a 50cc chainsaw in a steel carry case, wondered if Dolmar do the same set up?

 

can't see a lot about Dolmar in the UK but if it's the same saw but cheaper Im thinking of getting one.

You need to talk to two of the members on here who deal in new Dolmars which are imported , I think Makita s are good but I m lead to believe Dolmars are better .I got two Makita s a DCS 500 and a DCS 9010 both seem good saws had the DCS 500 for over 4 years now.

Seriously considering a dolmar 9010:thumbup:

Having a demo of a 661 next week and then will make a choice. Wife still rattling on about an eternity ring and the Hoover packed in tonight so need to find the keys to the kids piggy bank:lol:

We ve got a Makita 9010 only had it for a few months, we ve got some big butts to cut up but couldn't afford a Stihl or husky. So far seems a good saw.

Some are only 9hp others are 13, does the £609 include delivery?

Do you have to pay an import tax ?

Here s a pic

Do you run that off a power pack if so what sort ? Thanks

I ve got a nine HP engine to use

How do you know what size hydraulic pump will be OK with what size HP petrol engine ? Thanks

I do a few logs for myself and other people but its not my occupation ,my main concern is how do you match engine power and pump pressure also splitting force . I split all sorts of wood from fallen trees to arb waste . Thanks

As title what do I need to know ? How do you know what engine and pump you need ? Thanks

I've got a half built splitter mounted on trailer with Honda power pack, ram, levers etc, just needs a day or two faffing about if your interested

Where are you ? Have you any pics ?

I got a complete pto power pack from a local guy who bought it at mod sale,

He could not get it working with the oil in it, I offered him £90 he took it, he bought it for £400

You just plug the hydraulic splitter straight in.

 

I now run the spitter off the mf35, on about 1000rpm good speed on the ram. And it sips the diesel.

Have you any pics ?

Iv got one, it works & its cheep set up

What set up have you got ? Do you have any pics

I m thinking of running a log splitter of a hydraulic power pack anyone do this and is there anything I need to look at before getting a splitter ? Thanks

Get some its not worth the risk !

I had a Rytec, it was a very well built machine and I wish I had not sold it.

Thanks for your reply was it a petrol machine ? And what splitting force was it ? Cheers

Lawnflite look to be the same machine as handy. But handy are cheaper. Quite a few different names and colours but made in the same factory.

What a Chinese factory ?

Thanks for replies are Crossffer machines any good or ryetec or lawnflite ? Thanks

I m looking for some chainsaw boots I don't have a big budget and I m a part-time user but I see on eBay a load of the wellie type boots have come up for sale my main concern is are they comfortable to wear and will they make my feet sweat ? Thanks

I m looking to buy a petrol driven log splitter top end of my budget is £1000 ,I split all sorts of fallen timber and some arb waste .I used my mates machine the other day which is a 7 ton table machine but it struggled a bit with some twisted oak so was looking for something a bit bigger . So guys and girls what machines should I look at ? Ideas please . Thanks

Looking for a double cab pickup is ford or Isuzu etc on a 54 / 55 plate what should I look at what should I avoid ? Thanks

Hi we ve been logging today and a guy across the road looked annoyed that sawdust was blowing around do any of you guys have this problem

Thanks for replies the reason I ask is to do with my other tread about new saw dripping oil on floor on tick over I get the impression they going to say that's the way it is ,so was wondering if thicker oil would help ?

Simple question is all chain oil the same grade ?

Taking it back tomorrow
