  1. I am a fan of Wales, I spend quite a few weekends there falling off of mountain bikes. Any advice on setting up/ getting started.
  2. Well I have taken the plunge and have a woodlands 130 max coming soon. Hopefully this is a good choice. I was struggling to decide between a woodland mill or a track met but found Chris at woodland easyer to get on with and talk too.
  3. Thanks gent, I will give those a call tomorrow morning.
  4. As title, we are in medway, Kent and need a chipper for a weekend. Any recommendations as to where to hire one. Thanks Steve
  5. Really nice set up there mate, I might be picking your brains in the future. Where abouts are you based.
  6. Not sure if your suffering the same as I did with my 261cm. Is it the mtronic version. I hade almost exactly the same issues, turned out to be a coil. Have fun there quite nice saws when running well.
  7. What model is your mill, have you had it long
  8. Nice bit of alaskan work there. Woodland looks smart mate
  9. Thanks for the offer Mark, I'm in Kent so a bit of a trek but appreciated all the same. Steve
  10. Where abouts are you mate?
  11. P. S. What would I expect to pay for an artic of saw logs mabe df or larch. I have purchased quite a lot of fire wood, but not sawlogs
  12. I think woodlands 130 and trakmet 600 standard are on the cards at the moment, unless anyone has any other contenders.
  13. Thanks very much for all that, there is a few things for be to thi k about there, I am interested in the woodlands. It would be for semi hobby use but would need to pay for its self. Basic is good in my eyes as I don't have electric available.
  14. Hello everyone, I have just started looking at small band Mills and was wondering if there are any to be avoided, or ones to pick over others. Im looking at the most basic woodmizers, the trac mets, woodlands Mills and the logesol. All advice/ experience is welcome as I don't really know good from bad. I have a large panther mill set up on an 880 already, but I'm looking for something to process smaller logs nicely for cladding and lumber. Steve
  15. Hello mate where abouts are you?
  16. Cheers gents I will have a bit of a research into those tonight
  17. Hello guys, can any one recommend an air fed mask for people wearing specs. Ot sure if I getting a bit soft but Im thinking it might be a bit of a luxury when running the firewood processor as well as when in the workshop. Thanks in advance
  18. Cheers I do like the oldies
  19. New baler nearly finished 165 (my mates) the tins are a lean too the full length of tractor but the picture dose look strange I must admit
  20. The only thing to not was a couple of slightly dull teeth on the chains, I can only think there must have been a bit of debris on or in the bark.
  21. Hello again people. Sorry iv been away for a while. It seems time for me to put my handsup and confess. I have had the mill out again recently, before hand spent a good couple of hours in the shed with the granburg. All chains sharpened nicely fully cleaned the mill and the bar. Next day big pile of sawdust and a happy me.
  22. Cheers wonky I will have a good check out of the bar Chain is correct for bar and sprocket It's not the greatest log but I would rather save it from the fire wood pile if I can. It has a good bit of figure to it
  23. Regarding tention, how tight do you run low pro milling chains
  24. Wedge put in after to make cuts with a different saw, not for the milling process Mill all clamped up solid. Pics of chain, bar and mill
