25" 3/8 1.6 84 drive links (I think) For a stihl 461. Pm me the price and I'll get them. Will do you a video. [emoji106]

How about a video showing the increased cutting speed compared to other brands? [emoji106]

I've used "myhermes" a few times. They lost a 25" bar. But paid out on insurance. Remember to take the bar and chain off and mark the box as "small engine". As most couriers won't take "chainsaws". [emoji106]

Get a decent chain grinder. Re set all teeth and depth gauges. Check your depth gauges with a straight edge and feeler gauge Don't grind into the tie strap. [emoji106]

does anyone have a bandsaw mill near Burnham?
Rough Hewn replied to se7enthdevil's topic in Milling Forum
Can you winch it onto a trailer and take it to a mill? [emoji106] -
At what stage is the chain snapping? New, half used, or near the end? [emoji106]

Watching "tree surgeons" Trying to fell trees is always a giggle. Especially when they use a top handle saw. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Day out milling some nice cedar.

What's tilt? Do you mean camber? 0 degrees top plate angle gives a very smooth finish. I run standard 404 and 3/8 and Never had a chain snap.

What's different?

Steel or toffee? It's a hard choice Rob. [emoji848][emoji12][emoji106]

Seen a lot of this. Stop traffic, drop tree, then 3 cars back some **** in a 4x4 floors it over the crown and drives off. With kids in the car too. Old lady drives up to me waving, Stops next me blocking all traffic, to ask if this will take long?????? One van driver swerved the stop/go guy then stopped under the tree we were felling!!!! Couriers..... But that video is a shocker. Revoke their licenses Sack em.

What stupid stuff have you seen on the road today?

3 acres for 50k? Where is it, London? 5-10k per acre for mature hardwood in the south. Even less at auction. Semi mature softwood is worth er... Nothing for at least another 20-30 years. Have a look at johnclegg solicitors for woodlands. [emoji106]

My small saw is a stihl 261, when subbing it was normally the first out the van. [emoji3] However at work we run mainly husky ground saws. 346,550,560,372,395 mainly. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Whatever you get, give it a year to get used to the power difference, then send it to spud to port it. You won't need a 70cc after that. [emoji848][emoji12][emoji106]
-
Everything is bigger than a 171. If you're looking at medium sized wood 12"-25" then a 70cc class saw is what you'd need. Personal preference would be a stihl 460/461/462 I run a 25" bar 3/8 full chisel chain and it will cut anything up to 24" very quickly. Warning. A 70cc saw is totally different to a 171, The torque is VERY strong. Push back followed by kick back is quite scary. Just make sure your PPE matches your saw choice. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

That's cowboy country. Choose carefully who you work for. [emoji51]
-
Rim sprocket or spur? Change it to .325 anyway, it'll cut faster. [emoji106]

Wire rope winch on steep slopes
Rough Hewn replied to Peter Simpson's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Looks flimsy. I've destroyed cheap winches before. Rather dangerous. [emoji51] -
Last time I was there was 92. Changed a bit since then. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

In sight of Alexanderplatz. in a very cool capital ?

Fair enough. But go easy on the other members. (Even Vesp[emoji57]) [emoji106]

You're a judgemental **** jimbo. What's your immaculate story?
-
You're right Mark, 100%. Always phone the police first... [emoji848] Realistically though, I'm only going to keep a few hand tools and a trailer on site. The main reason is I need storage for logs and timber I cut. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
