Erm, link doesn't work.

Presumably a replacement for the 362. The acceleration is supposed to be a lot quicker with the new magnesium piston head. It's 66cc so should run a 20" bar with some grunt. [emoji106]

There's the 400,462 and 500i. Curiously there is only 200g difference between each Saw. [emoji106]

Crowns, bit like marmite. I love the character in them, but I understand the difficulty of trying to dry them, and keep them flat. For most uses I would cut the crown piece off for 3" thick coffee tables. [emoji106]

I sell big slabs to a guy near London who makes the most incredible resin tables. He showed me two small containers of un mixed resin. The shit stuff will cost £450 a time or the good stuff is over £800. [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]

Any photos? Would it be worth milling? [emoji106] -
It's free on Arbtalk [emoji6][emoji106] But I'm writing a book (very slowly)[emoji51] about chainsaw milling.[emoji849] [emoji106]

Hey Aero, What species and sizes will you be cutting? [emoji106]

Now that is a valuable tree, 1m+dbh pear with pippy and burrs[emoji6] Probably hollow though. Best left to nature. [emoji106]

At 2.2m circumference it's about 60cm in diameter. It's got a lean, so it might warp and split. Young looking tree, probably mostly pale sap wood. And it looks to have no more than 2m of clean stem. It's not forest grown, so will have inclusions. A lorry with a crane and driver will cost more than the tree is worth. Probably. Until it's on the ground and you can see the interior it's a total gamble, might be rotten or hollow. I've seen 18" walnut trunks with a 4" heartwood. Worthless. More than 12" of heartwood? Yes £60-£100 max. If it was 1m+ in diameter, with burrs and pippy on a 7m+ trunk with 2" of sapwood, no rot or twists, delivered to my yard in Yorkshire, I'd pay about £500-£1000. That's the honest truth. [emoji106]

As mad and frustrating this situation is for you, I can understand stihl's stance. I.e. You ship a new Saw to a dealer. That's it. What happens after is down to the dealer. Might be an idea to have a sit down and chat with your dealer about how to move forward on this. Sympathies with your situation, but remaining calm and professional will get you further than growling (at this point). Let us know how it pans out. Good luck [emoji106]

[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] This is stihl standard policy! They won't hand over a Saw without a full rev test. I've tried buying my saws without this test, but was told no warranty without it. That's every stihl Saw in the country. [emoji12][emoji106]

Get a decent flat ladder, Or get a first cut system. I've been using ladders for years, but a first cut system is far superior. [emoji106]

Or get into milling [emoji12][emoji106]

Teach saws and climbing. [emoji106]

On the eau de vie yet? [emoji6]

Ill ask a few mates, could be various issues.

Take the spark plug out, Keep it attached to the wire. Place sparky bit between your lips and GENTLY pull the pull cord. You'll know if it's working. [emoji12][emoji106]

Fruit wood used green on an open fire with other dry hardwood can produce a very faint fragrance. I used to sell bay wood green to a Jamaican restaurant for BBQ smoking meats. Apparently in Jamaica they use pimento wood, and bay is the closest thing in the uk. I presume once fragrant wood has dried it has lost all essential oils/phenols/volatiles etc. [emoji106]
