  1. Reading the manual online and it says to re tension the belts after 2-3hrs using a timberwolf gauge. I'm guessing the gauge is essential but maybe not the tw one?
  2. Worth giving the guys at stiles and bates a call. Based in Dover but they have a great selection of boards
  3. Mix of brash and small logs. Make sure some is contacting the ground to allow buglets and critters onto it.
  4. A Swanson is a modified humbolt. A steeper angle at the bottom, you can use it when feeling down hill to make the butt touchdown first.
  5. A bonnet would make it a bunch smarter. Maybe once mine comes I'll see what I can come up with.
  6. I use the stihl can with the cheap oil spout on both ends. Yeah it's not anti spill but just concentrate a little.
  7. Cheers Matty. So excited to get one at the apf I grabbed the wrong one 😒
  8. I bought the one with a loop by mistake 😒 are you guys cutting the loop off and using an xsre in the metal rings and it holding up fine??
  9. Just seen this Genuine Barbados mahogany in Bromley, or not!?!? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/112215121448
  10. Chipping away here in Kent, cutting chipwood and chestnut.
  11. Anybody know any gm dealers with stock? Been quoted 6-8 weeks for a 130
  12. Seems forest and Arb have a 230 for £18k Trying to find a price for an arborist 130
  13. Maybe too small but I have a Stihl 150 back handle on a 12", stupidly light for cutting smaller stuff and carving. Tempted with a 201 back handle aswell
  14. Either hand or power plane to get it flat then go to an orbital sander. If your buying a new sander go for a pro model as it will take the abuse better
  15. Love to send it to you spud just a little short on money right now. I'm sticking with 3/8 and got a 16" bar ad chain on route.
  16. Didn't know a 325 sprocket would fit it. Going to do some research and see what sort of a beast I can make this into.
  17. Just got my 372 back together after it melted a piston in the summer. Have done a muffler mod on it and just got to get the carb set up. Having ideas of making it into an awesome firewood machine. 8t sprocket 15-16" bar Full skip chain Now does that sound a little crazy or should I just keep a bigger bar on it
