Thanks.... and yes I am buying new ...getting a Uniforest twin 85G ...was going to run one side on the Stratos winch Pro rope...very expensive but Im hoping it will pay by saving me from regretting not having it every time Im dragging the other up hill :-)
-
Can somebody please explain to me how tractor HP corresponds to winching....any winching Ive ever done or seen being done...the tractor always sits there on tick over and they pull fine ? Please explain Thanks

<p>Hello mate...Just wondered if you could tell me a bit about your Plasma rope experiences.</p>
<p>Im planning on getting a winch and was thinking about trying a Plasma rope out....simply because I will be working a fair amount of steap ground and if I can make it easier dragging a rope up hill I obviously will.</p>
<p>Im just concerned about its strentgh and durability....</p>
<p>Anyway...sorry to just PM you out of the blue...Just wondered.</p>
<p>Thank you</p>

Lol for **** sake Im not coming on here anymore...Ive just realised Im stupid...Im surprised I managed to sign in
-
sorry but whats a draw ?
-
Ok...Ive been avoiding asking anymore questions cos Im starting to look like I dont know what Im talking about ;-) But lets just go for it.... Right...baffles...where might I find these and when I do what shall I do to them ...Im guessing its the inside of the exhaust and I need to remove, by drilling, to allow better airflow ? The exit pipe...again just drill a hole as in the picture in the previous post ...and weld a tidy finish on it ? Thanks
-
Well if you know so much port my 576 free of charge then...just to show off
-
Thanks mate....so do you just cut a hole for the pipe ...are there any modifications behind the hole...or is that then a straight flow through ? and the baffle i take it just needs levering wider ?
-
Spudulike ...it isn't far from Bovey mate....how do you know that then ?
-
Yeah ok...fair enough :-) Just loctite'd them though din I ...and I wasnt sure of the procedure so I thought I'd see .....now stop making out im stoopid...thats my wifes job. So....Its exhaust off !! then cut n shut ...any further guidance would be very much appreciated ...and obviously needed !!
-
Whats the lol'ing for then ? :-)
-
Hello all....Just wondered what the approach is for opening up the exhaust on a 560xp ...preferably without taking it off as I have sort of got it on there pretty permanent ...got bored with loosening bolts Thank you
-
<p>Thanks mate for the reply.....The 576 was the saw I was thinking about as the 560 is probably good enough for what I want from it.</p>
<p>I know you said you havent done a 576 before but could you give me a ball park figure for the job of porting and muffler?</p>
<p>The saw is my own saw and only used by myself...also I have just ordered a heavy duty (large) air filter and the housing to maybe help a little ? do you think that will make much of a difference?</p>
<p>Whats involved with opening up the muffler ?</p>
<p>Sorry for so many questions...but after seeing a 365xp ported on youtube...I got all excited lol </p>
<p>Thanks for the advice so far</p>

<p>Hello mate. Just looking into porting now....I have a 576xp autotune and a 560xp autotune....can these be ported? what are the benefits exactly ? I am full time forestry cutter....I have just ordered the large heavy duty air filter and top housing case to accommodate it.</p>
<p>I dont want to ruin the lifespan on my saws but would like the extra grunt etc etc...please advise.</p>
<p>Im in Devon by the way...cheers</p>

<p>Hello mate ...just a quick one...Im about to grab myself a 9 tooth sprocket for my husky 560xp....could I ask ..is it literally JUST the sprocket I need or do I need the clutch drum too...I dont know but it seems like I need both otherwise the sprocket wont fit ??</p>
<p>Any advice will be very much appreciated mate...thank you</p>

Stein Explorers mate ...easy choice...theyre a brilliant fit and so comfortable. I had some before and have just got a new pair from Radmore last week...they are now made from a new cut of leather which is apparently more water resistant....and they look great...best looking boots there. Those Husky Technicals have apparently been selling very well but in my opinion they will give in all the wrong places ...you can see it when you TRY and walk in them..theyre going to end up loose with no support....and I just couldn't face the week of misery you'd have to go through breaking them in ...OUCH !!! Im telling you now you wont be disappointed with the Explorers...they're spot on. In my opinion !!
-
Just in case you cared ...the finished bear Come to think of it he doesnt actually have a name !! Any ideas ?
-
As I said I run my 560xp on an 18" bar.....and I carved my very first bear with it no problem...got a bit bored one afternoon and made it for my wife and our boys.... took me about half an hour to carve it....but took me and my cousin an hour and a half to carry the bloody thing to my truck The boys loved it when I got it home.... its been tidied up a little and a few adjustments here and there....the finished bear now stands proudly in our back garden
-
Yeah sorry Im not a climber..I was saying more from the forestry side of things...and like I said I run an 18 on mine just cos its good enough for me and I doubt Id notice an amazing difference...I'll stick a 15 with a 3/8 sprocket on at some point when Im bored and see for myself.
-
and my 576xp on a 20 Now THATS a saw !!!
-
Oh..and I run my 560xp on an 18
-
I was talking to one of the blokes at the APF show this year ...he was working with Richard Elliot in the Husqvarna team ... and they said the 18 inch is simply too much for the 560 xp ..it will run it..but the cutting speed is reduced so much down a tree compared to running a 15 inch with the 3/8 sprocket that he only ever uses a 15 with 3/8. and Richard Elliot can f##king cut ...and that wasn't the speed cutting competition ..that was a demo down a tree....brilliant.

Hello all..thought I would show you all my birthday cake Cheers...hope you are all well
-
Thanks Craig....I will look closely at the winch over the weekend....what sort of price is a full service on a winch like this then ? Thanks
-
Thanks again. I quite like the look of this helmet but tell me what you think.... Basically I was after a FM Radio helmet set up...for the old Forestry ...originally looked at the "Husky" set ...but you advised to stay away...which I will most definitely do....so now I am after a set up that works well ...strong...and allows for the fact I sweat like you wouldnt believe !!! I had sweat running out of my ear defenders INTO my ears today...fuuuuuck. Now bothered about MP3 just radio will do me... Dont really want to spend a fortune cos I know how long stuff lasts in the woods...but I also dont want to waste money on crap either....so any advice is welcome mate. Thanks
