I've owned loads of big, old, heavy, Slow, loud, shaky saws. Don't want to start collecting, I need a work horse of unparalleled power. [emoji12][emoji106]

Over priced, probably knackered. You could buy it all new for less. [emoji51]

Thanks outinthewood, very interesting. If I get it, might need to have a chat about parts if your willing to part with them. [emoji106]

@wonky just sent me this, Ported 090 [emoji12][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Been maxing out the mill at 105cm quite a bit over the last few months. Going to have to go a lot bigger. My 880 is a good girl at that size but I'd worry about running a 180cm bar with it milling. I'd prefer not to go down the double powerhead route. So I'm looking to make a monster saw for a monster mill. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Thanks Ratman, Can you find the 10cubic inch big bore kit?[emoji848] Need more power[emoji12][emoji106][emoji106]

Lsengineers have an 090 oem pot and piston advertised at £178 Not in stock... I'm reading things about a 10cubic inch p&p on tinternet, 72mm I think. Anyone ever heard/seen these?
-
They aren't made to the same tolerance Lower compression, not worth it for me.
-
Not worried about the exhaust, as it will be going on a mill. It's the extra torque and rpm I'm after. Do stihl sell a big bore kit? Or more likely something non oem?
-
I know stihl made five 070/090's with 156cc engines, ported with big a big exhaust. Could it be done again? [emoji848][emoji57][emoji3][emoji106] A new oem top end for an 090 is £380 on eBay. Or is there another option?
-
Thanks Spud, I was thinking.... Send it to you... How big a top end could you put on it? 150-160cc? Could you port it? [emoji848][emoji3][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Mull, that's a fantastic photo. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Been offered an old 070, Looks ok, but I suspect it will need new pot n piston, carb kit, lines and pipes filters etc I can buy a new 070 in the Philippines for about £8-900. New parts for the saw are about £5-600 He's a decent bloke who offered it to me, so I'd like to offer a fair price. Honestly I'm thinking £100. What do you guys think the value is?

That's nasty peds, I've seen pine sap pour like a tap out of trunk. Luckily no one got hit. Sticky, sticky, but smells ok. ???[emoji106]

Might be able to get you a few more jobs in the village. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

This ones for you guys over the channel. Got a call from my parents this evening, France telecom want to install fibre optics to the hamlet. They informed my parents 30 days to cut the trees under the lines or €1500 fine. It's a real easy job for a climber, cut and chuck. A few small ash 4-5" dbh One lime will need climbing and hacking. The rest is a few willow over grown. Don't need to chip or remove anything from site. Good access and parking. If your quote is cheaper than my air fare you've got the job. Loire atlantique/ille et villaine Grand Fougeray @tykorrigan you about? Best bit about this job is you'll meet my folks. Quite simply two of most decent people you'll ever meet. Great lunch and a gin and tonic after work? Pm please. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Cheers Yorkshire B, This is exactly what I meant about moving big timber. If I could get 8x300kg of these slabs (2.4t) in a 3.5t trailer... Cut the last few slabs off the big cant this morning You can see the snowy mountains of the Isle of Arran in the distance. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
