Hey Joe. Nice to see a fellow Mopar Man here. What is that stunning tree you're dropping?
-
Lesley has gone from bragging about dropping £30-50k on a Bandsaw to looking at a Fencepost maker. I dont think he'll be overly bothered about who makes it nor the quality

Why would brexit affect customs charges from China?

I have some 20 years Air Dried Ash. I could supply those dimensions from a 40" Diameter Ash Log. Would be £600 plus shipping.

We’ve discussed this at length before.

There’s loads of videos of Farmtec 660’s running up against stihl 660’s. Again, it would be pointless running a Farmtec 661 against a Farmtec 660 for the obvious reason. Out of the thousands of Farmtec users not many complain they are a badly made copy. They all seem very happy with them and have years of use out of them if treated with respect. Not sure how much safety features come into play when milling. What safety features does an 070 have that will come into play when Milling? Yet you’re telling folk they should buy one of them instead. No chain brake and no anti-vibe.

And you said there would be no one on here with a Farmtec saw. I know for a fact there’s more than letting on here. 😃 Putting your 881 up against anything other than a 881 copy would be utterly pointless. You’d be better off putting a stock OEM Saw up against a Farmtec saw and comparing the difference. But I think you know that and intentionally did not offer such a comparison as you’d most likely not see much.

I just sold this rare RHD Fish. Also a Vert but just a lowly 318. Was gonna drop a ‘68 340 in if I kept it. I’ve also got a ‘71 Valiant Charger. It’s an Aussie A Body. Nice to see another Mopar on here. A 383 in a Vert A Body mist be fun! You’ll need those Torque Boxes with that combo! 8 3/4” rear end?
-
Can’t help with your post but is your username a reference to a 383ci Formula S Barracuda?

With all these Chinese Saw owners coming outta woodwork Roughy is gonna be throwing a fit.
-
Might be. He never mentioned it when we where looking through his stack. Id imagine its not that interesting as 1, he never tries to entice me with it and 2, he never seems that fussed to get it milled. We willed a bunch of Sweet Chestnut when I was over last If it was that he'd have me mill it then as well. He'd not bother with Horse.
-
No, it’s the bit with the tape measure on it. It’s a good size. Too big for my Bandsaw so will get an Alaskan to Mill it. I don’t know what that gnarly lump to the right is to be honest? Don’t think it’s Elm though. It was touch and go if I was gonna get the Elm or not as he does not see much these days. I’m sure it was his only bit.
-
Another day on the Mill. Mostly plain Jane Scottish Oak but also some Cherry. Swapped the days work for a couple of cracking Ash Saw Logs and a good 1t lump of Elm.

Very true and the proofs in the pudding. They’re begging for the Whites to come back.

How much is my double header chainsaw mill worth

That makes sense. -

You pointed out a design flaw that can be mitigated with a 99 pence brush or a tap. Square bars can also ride up over sawdust to some extent. Who does not brush off or jet down each slab to see the colours or check for rot anyway? I just don’t see sawdust being an issue so perhaps there’s another reason behind manufacturers not using rollers? -

Only if you dont clear them first. Easy to do with a brush or a hose. -
Beautiful animals indeed and as you say they decimate the land they roam free on. All for the benefits of te very few who can afford to shoot them for sport. So many are opposed to a reintroduction of the Deers natural predator's. Shame really. Hopefully the Wildlife corridors proposed come to fruition. My Mates Estate has had a herd of Red Deer on it for about 50 years. They've done very little damage all things considering. His woods are so dense and unmanaged that what little damage the deer do soon grows back again. Although the Deer in Scotland are certainly stopping the natural regeneration of our countryside lets not forget its man that has cut down all the forests in the first place.

They hid at the back hoping to be fed. [emoji16]. Be good to see your pics as well. The calf was quite friendly.

Must be the biggest Oak I’ve had on the mill. 36” at the Butt end, 32” at the small end and 13.5’ long. The Avant was struggling to lift onto the Mill without the back end lifting off the deck. Almost a shame to take 24” wide slabs out of it and not be able to get it on the Alaskan but needs must and my brother needed a 6”x8” beam. And some rare White Red Deer on the Estate. The Stags where braver than the Hinds.
-
Damn! yeh, an old machine but well serviced. Never wanted for anything.
-
Yeh, I guessed it was cheap. The guy in Sweden bit his hand off. 😁 It’s got the Harvester Head on the now then swaps it out for the grab and goes back in and collects them all. Canny mind what he said he can lift with it close in. 3/4 of a ton maybe? Got a 1 ton log on the other day by lifting one end on first then the other.
-
He’s got a nice stash of them but he’s an oak framer so does not wanna give them up. I’ll get it though as he’s desperate to get some 6x6” out the other 10 sticks he’s got and I have the mill and Avant. The farmer won’t lend him the Avant 🤣
-
It’s my mates. He’s sold it now though. Heading off to Sweden as soon as the buyer arranges collection. Think he gave it away at £15k (Don’t mention brexit [emoji51]) He’s had this built instead. One of his buddies owns/owned a forestry engineering firm and built it with parts lying around. Not the head though, I think he already had that. Comes with a nice bogie.

Must have been a day for milling in Scotland. [emoji16] Few more Oak logs on the Logosol. Shifting 9’x22”x3” slabs is so much easier on the back with the Avant to hand. Thought this log might have yielded some interesting 4” slabs but got nothing but a single 8” beam out the heart. Trying to convince another mate to part with one of his oak sawlogs as my brother needs a 13’ x 6x8” beam. He’s playing hard to get though. Since I’ll be milling his stash for him soon I’m sure he’ll relent. 🤣
