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Sawing up a old fence posts that been replaced by the local water board.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 !

Have been at the "real" job every day over the holidays, including the weekends, but did manage a 1/2 day on the logs on Saturday. Planning a big weekend of tidying up and sorting my barn out this coming weekend.

I agree split early to avoid log shrapnel

Used the revamped 440 today and it went great but still think I’ll replace it as i can’t help thinking it will let me down at a critical moment. 435 here I come !!

I do recall in a previous thread that the decomp valve was referred to as the “poof button”,( I use it all the time as I’m getting older ).

4.85 tonnes.

Trouble is I’ve done a bit of work on the 440 and it sounds quite good And running ok again. Might just get the 435 anyway as the 440 doesn’t owe me anything!!
-
Had a look at the 435 and it looks like a lot of bang for your buck so think that’s what I’ll go for.

Really impressive, here in Cumbria they seem to lay everything close to the ground with no supports or ties. Yours looks like a piece of art in comparison.

Hi all, My trusty husky 440, that I use for light firewood, is needing replaced, it's been a cracking wee saw and I've been very happy with it. It will need replaced soon so should I go new for old or is there a better altermative. I would prefer husqvarna as my other saws are husqvarna. Would even consider battery if people thought they were up to the job. Budet could go to £300 max. Your sage opinions would be highly appreciated.

Had an Artic Cat, 700cc diesel, pulled like a train, till it got nicked ! Whatever you do make sure it’s well secured cos they are very nick able!
-
I don’t climb and am quite short and broad, (fat), I wear chaps cos trousers don’t fit well enough and am likely to trip over the over long legs !
-
I got a weekend demo once, I did eventually buy it too, (husky 440).

Chainsaw Oil Leaking All Over My Boot - Help
Silverhooker replied to Jamie Jones's topic in Chainsaws
a drip tray and keep you gear clean is the best way, although I'm a bit OCD on cleaning my kit. -
I’ve used BRISA knife supplies, they are in Finland and have great stuff.
-
Looks very much like an ENZO drop point. Lovely work sir !
-
A new wind stopper fleece. Best presents are too yourself from yourself, cos you know you like it and it fits !???
-
I'll take it down tonight and see what i need and give L&S a look in the new year as i won't be doing much over the Christmas period.
-
Bloody bad luck, have you had an open repair, as this gives the best long term outcome ?
-
I thought that genuine would be the way to go, just asked in case I was missing a trick. So now I've an excuse to be in the shed and not wrapping Christmas presents !
-
After the weekend it looks like I'll be fixing the husky 440 starter mechanism ! bloody good little fire wood saw and runs for ages on a single tank of fuel, this has been my go to firewood saw for some time and has been a great little worker. Will I need to get husky parts or are non -generic bits ok for the starter mechanism ??
