Bought a 365 last year, which is a bit more oomph than I need,wish I had gone for a 550 mk2 as all the reviews on it are great. Not that the 365 isn’t .
-
the old barter system will come back, how many litres of petrol for a cube of logs ?? or a bog roll ??

The great escape, where eagles dare and the guns of Navarrone. I love old war movies.
-
I hate that job, all the black mouldy crap stuck in the folds of the seal is foul.
-
Crikey, are the drum and rubber seal on the door still intact ??
-
I would agree that you could just use it on a shorter bar as a very gutsy everyday saw and years out of it.

Nothing moving yet in North Cumbria. The odd Daffy out but still cold and very wet.

Looking at the picture of the site I'd say take the lot down, except the outers on the prevaling wind side. The re-plant with birch, rowan and willow and you can make them in to any shape you want and it'll enrich the biodiversity.

Check if your phone has saved to the sim card as your photos will be recoverable from the sim even if it is wet and the actual phone is knackered.

Hydraulic guillotine style firewood processors

Looks like an accident waiting to happen with jammed logs under load etc. I'll stick to cross cutting with the chainsaw. -
I used the "find my" app on my ipad to find my phone recently, turned out to be in the bin at work !!

Another vote for the Husky 365. great saw and if you want more oomph it can be modded to a 372 cheaply. PPE and a set of log tongs to save your back, you only get 1 and need to look after it, and get someone who knows how to teach you how to hand sharpen. I ruined quite a few chains till I was shown.

Glad nobody was underneath it. I’ve had a couple of big larch come down but they will just go for firewood, you could mill some lovely timber out of that beech.

Blowing a hoolie and lashing in Cumbria.

What do you use to store logs by the fire?
Silverhooker replied to Rob_the_Sparky's topic in Firewood forum
We use an old wicker laundry basket with a bit of carpet in the bottom in one room and a U shaped wicker log holder lined with news paper in the other, kindling and firelighters kept in an old cardboard box in cupboard under the stairs. I found the u shaped holder in a place that did house clearences, someone told me it came from a local hotel that got converted to an old peoples home. I refill each log holder with another old laundry basket that I carry to and fro from the log shed. -
He has really grown !!!

Wow that must be a super sharp chain that beast was throwing chips dude ! ?
-
Using rapeseed oil do you need to increase the flow rate at all ??
-
Going to try rapeseed oil as others seem to use it without problems, don’t cut as much as some so don’t buy oil in big volumes. Will report back my opinions in a couple of weeks ?

Wild around tea time here in Cumbria, last hour has dried a bit but not a night to go anywhere if you don’t need to. Can see me getting a few calls thru the week about wind blowns. Every cloud and all that !

I used a quad, artic cat 700, with a trailer for a bit, now use the 4WD pick up and a trailer. More comfy, happier towing and especially stopping with the pick up. Also my quad got nicked, they are very nickable ! I would love an Alpine but can't justify the expense just yet. Kids miss the quad tho, it was good fun for them!
-
I mix a bit of smokeless with my logs just to keep it going longer, pay about £14 for a bag delivered from my local coal man. 3 bags lasts the whole winter.
-
A good wheelbarrow, makes tidying up easier, I’ve got a big plastic one.
-
Got to love stoichiometric in any sentence ❤️

Sawing up a old fence posts that been replaced by the local water board. Sold the lot for fire wood to the next door neighbour, who had a stove cos we didn't, had to barrow it up the path at the side of the house. Cash !
