No it won't. A 500i slows to 10krpm in the wood, whereas a 461 will hold 11k+. Be good to test in different diameter wood against a 461 and 661. [emoji106]

It's advertised in the new stihl catalogue as available in the uk. It will only pull a 30" bar. (It's a 461[emoji848][emoji23])

A 661 will cut wood faster than a 500i. [emoji106]

42. My wife buys my corduroys. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

This stack is about 4' high and the logs are about 4' long. Look at the gaps. If you had big straight logs you'd get a better return. But you will always have air with cordwood as its rarely straight. The traditional Breton way is to have a 3m3 cord of 1m logs stacked. Walk along the top with a big saw 3' bar down the middle.(not recommended) Use a plank to make life easier. As you cut, the stack drops considerably. Have to top it up to make 3m3. [emoji106]
-
If your logs are 8' long and not perfectly straight, there will be air gaps. When I was running a firewood business, the chestnut was 80% wood in a cord (3m3), the oak was bent as hell and about 70% of the stack was wood. [emoji106]

Did some work before Xmas on a clearance site in central Manchester. We were warned the hippies/huggers might turn up. By the end of lunch on the second day most of the trees were on the deck,snedded awaiting chipping. I spotted this guy across the road, staring slack jawed at the mess. Watched him turn red and angrily stomp up to the railings. Put my saw down and walked over. WTF is going on he asks. You a tree lover? I ask Yeah. You know these sycamores are a non native invasive species? Oh. Er...no. The ornamental cherries and the London planes don't exist in nature. The two blue cedars looked nice but again non native. Oh right, er sound mate. Must crack on. Hippy wanders off. [emoji12][emoji106]

Hardwoods, seasoned and split and delivered (in Surrey) probably about £120-140 a m3. [emoji106]

You have to do a few weeks of chokers before you'd have a clue what to do in the cab. I'd rather be felling. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

I've got stacks of 10'+ oak 3' wide. For sale. Pm me. [emoji106]

I just get to meet oxymorons. "What are you doing to that tree? I love trees..." It's dead, it has no leaves or bark. It will fall over on your car at some point. "Oh I love trees. Can you cut them all down as I don't like the leaves and they make a mess". No. [emoji51]

Never worked with one. But I'd love to have one. [emoji106]

How much do you process in a day? What's your day rate? [emoji106] -
There will be air gaps in your stack. Usually from cord to cut,split n stacked you get about 70-80% of the cubic meterage. I.e. 5m3 cord = 4m3 split logs. Approximately. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

I took my Alaskan mills to France a couple of years back. Told a guy I know, I've brought a sawmill with me. He laughed, told me there was a dozen commercial sawmills within 25km. Showed him the Alaskan. He said it wouldn't work. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji51] Yes they really know forestry. But they are sooooo French. [emoji12][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
