Thanks for the advice 7610. I picked an ex demo 661 this morning which will hopefully balance usability, power and price. Engines are not my greatest strength so a really old machine scares me a bit! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

In the same way you guys are OMG Chainsaw safety. As someone whose training as a spark I'm like OMG Electrical Safety Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thanks Rough. I'm going to get a 661 but on a Logosol as a lot of what I do initially will be small diameter. Really good to hear other peoples experiences though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

You are on the right side of the country to try. Look at wood lots or gumtree. Pointless in SW Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I think a lot of us are expressing the things we'd like to do to exact revenge but in reality we'd just curse them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Haha. I was about to say something and then thought I do it often enough. I think unless they look battered I will be buying one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Do you even lift bro? Ah sorry - just kidding. If you are in this business you are probably a load stronger than I. Thankfully it will be sat on a Logosol for 90% of its working life. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I guess how has it been used/demoed would be one of the questions alongside warranty query. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Their new price like for like is the same as my local. The question is really about the ex demo price based on 20 hours and is there anything I should be looking for when I view them that says don't buy! Sorry I should have said thanks and mentioned I don't see sponsors on Tapatalk. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Yes. It will be on a Logosol and sometimes backup. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Hi, Been offered a MS661 ex demo by a local dealer for 700 inc vat. Approx 20 hrs usage. Does this sound like a good deal? What questions should I ask? What should I look for? Thanks Chris Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thanks Josh - Super Helpful. Initially it will be to split in half small diameter Cyprus/Cedar so a spruce/pine that I want to use to build a small composting toilet in our woods. Moving onwards I'd like to be able to mill soft/hard woods around 18" max 24" into ~1" thick planks that I can then turn into furniture including bed frames, TV stands etc. Here a woodland mill is about £3000, Logosol £1300 and Alaskan £300 to £600 but both the latter options require a saw. I'm starting to think that a Logosol will suit my needs. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

I looked at that as an option and the idea of a cheap bandsaw just didn't really exist unless you know something I don't! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thanks Josh. So would you opt for an Alaskan Mill and make a supporting clamping arrangement for the smaller logs to stop them rolling? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thanks Steve, that's what my head says but my heart desires raw power!! Any idea why they might suggest the 391 and not the 461. Is it to give a better price range? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Hi, I'm looking at starting milling using probably a Logosol Farmers because I feel that it will be more stable on smaller diameters or maybe an Alaskan (unlikely due to stability) and am thinking about suitable chainsaws. I currently have a MS261 as my main saw and a MS171, which I carry as a back up and am planning to sell. At the start I'll be milling some small stuff (6 to 10 inches) into halves for building before progressing into larger 12" upwards stuff. In order to justify the expense I need to think about hiring out the mill locally. Logosol suggest 391 or 661 but I'm also thinking why not the 461? Is it worth me punting for the 661 or am I wasting my money and why is the 461 not suggested. Look forward to hearing your thoughts Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
