Toby in Buckinghamshire

I had the same symptoms but on a shorter bar, it was the chain in my case. Not sure what was wrong with it but suspect it was unevenly sharpened.

Hi All Have done a search but no real results. Anyone found a use for sawdust produced from milling with a chainsaw mill? When milling in the garden I sometime have to take all the dust with me. Have been putting it on the compost heap but it's mostly sawdust now and I can't imagine it's doing it much good! Obviously it's contaminated with bar oil but I'm using the bio stuff from rotatech which presumably is a bit less toxic than the standard stuff. Any thoughts? Can't even take it to the local dump with the new rules....! Thanks Toby

How did you get that up into your truck?!

Hi John. Did you go for it? Pleased with it? How's the shed coming along?

Is this still for sale?

Cheers guys. Will do!

Morning all I've recently got into chainsaw milling and have a couple of stacks of nice timber now. They are stored out in the open, on 2x4 bearers and with 1x3/4 inch sticks between the slabs for air flow. The question is, what would you guys recommend for storage of the slabs? Just left in the open, exposed to the rain etc? Or, I'm considering making a simple roof to go over them with corrugated bitumen sheets to keep the rain (and sun, when summer arrives) off but there will still be full air flow because the structure wouldn't have walls. Keen to have your thoughts and experiences. Thanks Toby

Evening all I'm after a second hand trailer. Ideally 8x5ft. Needs to have a max gross weight of 750kg due to licence restrictions. So unbraked. Looking for something like the ifor Williams p8e. Ideally cage sided with a ramp. I'm based in Aylesbury Buckinghamshire but willing to travel. Let me know if you're looking to sell something suitable. Thanks Toby

Hi all. I've got myself set up with an Alaskan and put my ms260 in but as predicted, it's under powered and just hasn't go the guts to mill, it cuts slow and just feels like it's harming the saw. Looking for something bigger. Minimum ms460 size (75ish cc) but ideally ms660 size (90ish cc). Don't mind something a bit older like an 056 etc. The saw will only be used for milling and only in a 24inch mill for now, might get a bigger mill one day though. Has anyone gone something they are looking to sell? I'm based in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, happy to travel a reasonable distance. Don't want to spend crazy money since it's only a hobby. Let me know if you're looking to sell a big saw. Thanks Toby

Thanks! Whilst that is a great they price it's out of my budget!

Hi Rob Depends on condition and the bar / chain length (ideally 25") but £300 - 400. Thanks Toby

Hi. Looking to buy an MS460 second hand. Needs to be in good condition and fully working. Ideally a 20" bar or bigger. Alternatively I'm happy to buy a power head and then get a bar and chain separately. I'm based in Buckinghamshire, willing to travel within reason. Thanks Toby

You'd get a decent TD5 Discovery for that money.

Evening all I've recently bought a small 'garden' tractor for using at our small woodland for moving logs etc. It's been homeade by someone, based on a ride on mower chassis with a very old Lombardini diesel engine. The engine is running and seems pretty sound, although there is a moderate diesel 'weep' from the bottom of the engine. The tractor had been barn stored for a quite a few years. I know very little about engines, even small ones like this but I was looking for some advice on what I should be doing to give the engine a thorough service. I'll change the diesel since it must be pretty old but beyond that I don't know what needs doing or how to do it. Any advice greatfully received. Thanks Toby

Thanks for the replies so far chaps. Sorry, my 40% figure is a generalisation but true for the ropes I have looked at. The main reason for the upgrade is that my current rope isn't long enough. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
