Who’s the bloke with the nappy under his red CS trousers?
-
no, the Oregon is the top one. looks like it will take half the sharpening the stihl will before it's worn to nowt. hey ho if it cuts well and is robust I will be happy. my grinder can take care of the angles
-
brilliant. problem solved. lets see if I can make one
-
Bought a new stihl lo pro and an Oregon lo pro. Ok, the Oregon was a fiver less but the at the difference in cutters! Or am I being too simplistic?

what the hell you paying tax to Norway for in Angus? it's not 736 AD is it?
-
agree on a simpler tax system with zero loopholes. that will never happen as our law makers have a vested interest in loop holes. a peer of mine about five years ago said, "do u wanna pay less tax" I do not need to tell you the answer. however, it involved a legal loophole, paying zero tax but paying 10% of your income to some dodgy solicitor for some convoluted scheme. I never went in to the details as it was clearly immoral. he hasn't paid tax since but I am not jealous

higher rate tax rate countries tend to have higher standards of living. I holidayed, nah, vacationed, in New England recently, and the infrastructure was third world. I have also holidayed in Sweden and Finland and wow, your high tax rate pays for a lot

In the woods is no problem as I can roll the stem onto the mill (use a farmers jack if particularly heavy) but for the truck need to be end on. Any bright ideas? Will be alone so one man job onl
-
Now I’m fed up milling all by my lonesome in a cold dark wood so I wanna bring the stems home and mill in my yard. I have an L200 and a portable winch but no heavy machinery. How to get the 10’ conifer stems on the back of my truck. Not tried anything yet, going on Thursday. So far two ideas.
-
For big stuff I use the Logosol timberjig
-
I’ve been running an M8 for a couple of years on conifers only. For me max is 18” and then I have to use a farmers jack to get the stem on. Wider ones are too heavy and cumbersome, take to long to get in position and can roll off in the process so not worth the effort and could cause injury

I’m gonna live off my savings when I retire. Dunno what I’m going to do on the second week

before the internet?? we used to go scrating underneath hedges for muddy pages of top shelf mags. well, someone i know did

Not yet. He been concentrating on skiing

Again, afraid this is a well recognised neurological affect. We are programmed to search for patterns and also tend not to recall the common ordinary events, only remembering the unusual thereby giving these events unwarranted importance. If you know what I mean You always join the slowest shop queue and every Land Rover you buy breaks down

You are not paranoid. If you grant access to your phone mic for social media etc they acknowledge key words and then use this for targeted ads. I had my daughter’s boyfriend in the woods a couple of weeks ago, letting him fell some trees. Next day he had adverts for chainsaws on his social media. Instagram I believe

Thanks Ratman. I thought it might have been too subtle like my news spoof on Theresa May not enjoying cunnilingus a good few day back
-
What chain did you use for this? Was it a semi Chisel?
-
but if there's oil left in the reservoir then there is no problem? also surely logosol would know if the set up needed an uprated oil kit? thanks for input, just being devils advocate. you know more than me re this sort of stuff
-
so, Rob D, i have a logosol M8 20" .050 bar with 661, your web site says the Stihl 3614 (what i have) was developed with logosol but for larger rigs. now with the M8 i can really only handle stems less than 20" anyway and the 3614 came with the logosol ms661 package so if it is the original sprocket that has caused the damage then i am surprised they haven't heard about it. all on here say they never had a chain snap but i am pleased to see your web page mentions chain breakage as one of the cons of the Lo pro. Also i read on some american website that Lo pros are more for lower power set ups. you say on the same page the oregon 91R is better suited to small bars. shall i give that one a try?
-
well the oil res needs filling when I refill the fuel, a nice film comes out onto the ground when I put the throttle on and I have turned the oil input to full. gonna give Rob a little more business and get a new chain (lo pro). if that snaps then I give up
-
confession. I never have slackened off the chain when I have finished. I know you should for when it contracts when cooling. could it be that? I can't believe most people slacken off, not in human nature
-
Six?

TBH it is just not good enough. I demand equal status and if I do not get it I am gonna walk round Ipswich with a yellowvest on looking for anyone bald and with a light beard with three fingers on each hand (chainsaw cut off the other three, or is that a Norfolk thing) green under his fingernails and demand my rights
