  4. brilliant, thank you. i'll get some on order and give that a go 👍
  5. not many at all as only just got it. i did adjust the throttle a little as it has stretched a couple of mm i'll clean the clutch out and see if i can see anything going on in there defo is pretty wet timber they are Ripper37 blades, which i believe are 10 degrees thank you
  6. On the sawmill, cutting some softwood and the blade seemed to be jamming in the log then riding the clutch, resulting in the clutch getting very hot. Thought blade was done so swapped it out, but still doing it. Did couple of cherry logs the other day, absolutely fine. They were down about 4 yrs before I milled. The softwood has been down about 8 months Any ideas please

  15. everyone needs a couple of these absolutely brilliant for messing about with hydraulic hoses etc they are straight tip
  16. That was a mint 066 I brought with a whole load of other stuff
  17. It is satisfying doing it Flipping 4x 880s more than paid for the 881 Buying a saw for £50 and selling it for £850 puts a smile on the face
  18. a very honest story, thanks for sharing. thoughts and prayers... thought i'd share the story about my dad, back in the late 80's he was layed off overnight as a plumber, with absolutely nothing, he knocked on some building site and managed to find someone who was prepared to use him to carry out all his plumbing works on a couple of plots. it then grew from there and was him and another guy for quite some years, then in early 2000's he was cutting the grass and slipped on a bit of wet plastic, broke his leg real badly in quite a few places! at that time, he was the business, quoting, running jobs, invoicing, order, doing the work on site, the lot. he spoke to the guy he had working for him, and he was prepared to carry on working on the tools and dad continue to try and run it from his hospital bed, which is what happened... and he managed to pull it through. come forward 20 years to today, he hasn't been on the tools since and the company now employs 19 people with a few subbies not sure if that helps as to what your plan is or could be going forward 👍
  19. Is chain speed or higher watts more important when looking for an electric chainsaw for faster cutting
  20. Thanks. That's a good shout ref free swing 👍
  21. Has anyone converted a loader cone splitter to an auger Or anything stopping me doing so?

  24. mucking out is actually weirdly satisfying
