I'm a bit confused too, only ever needed a quick go with a flat file on my bars. Maybe a bit of draw filing to sort out burrs on top of rail but nothing that needs a grinder.
-
Wanted PTO so not including an engine at least.
-
Maybe it works, can't rely on the quality descriptions on AliExpress... Electric saw blade is a high wear item, metal chain rides on metal track, metal to metal wear quickly, even if you add fuel, your bar still wear heavily, the grille becomes wider, causing the chain to wander, making the saw cut bent, as the chain swings between the tracks, this tool will quickly close the gap to factory specifications

Not had them side by side but different part numbers so I'd reckon it's a no.

Look a bit like the engine has moved forward a mm or two? If the engine bolts slip a bit then with the vibration they have been under stress cycling so failed through fatigue. The end of weld and sharp corners at the thread make this a great spot for a crack to start. I guess one answer would be tension the belt, tighten down the engine, then unload the studs.

Whats your multione loader doing today ?

That is definitely the way to do that! -
Theres no practical difference between 8 and 8.2 spec surely? That's only two hairs of clearance which you'd probably have anyway.
-
Not read many arbtalk threads then.
-
Eject - ed?
-
Can you find a sunken spot or change in grass where another one's been taken down and ground out? Seems to take a few years for the roots left behind to get fruiting fungi above ground.

I was thinking maybe he didn't make it to the top to put the cambium saver in.
-
My mate put his Stanley flask down behind my trailer wheel, didn't leak but never really held heat again once I'd made the outside can touch the inside.
-
Probably 20W50 as two stroke oil then.
-
If you're chopping between the two then surely that's a different test? The problem talked about is a long time on pump fuel and then switch only to aspen.

I guess on an island every foot of land is important.

I was sent to reduce an eleagnus, looked around and couldn't see it in the garden so had to ask the customer, and they pointed at a tree nearly that big which I was standing next to. So not often, but I have seen a big eleagnus before.
-
You probably need cover then, and ideally find a windy spot so it's always blowing through the stack. I have a woodshed down the side of the garage which is a bit of a wind tunnel, something like that. Moving the damp air away from the logs is key. I think people do build dehumidifier kilns, but evaporating water takes a lot of energy so kiln drying is expensive.
-
You might start with something like a Bandit ZT1844, think then bit less than 20k. Not a super strong machine but hydraulic head means you're not physically pushing the cutter yourself.
-
Bit like a piece of string, depends on the weather. Most Octobers not much drying but with this heat and wind they will be. Rough rule of thumb maybe, as a starter for discussion, wood can season in 4-6 weeks in optimal conditions outside, which means summer heat and wind. If you do something like heat and forced ventilation in a polytunnel, then quicker. Depends where you are in the country too, I'm in East Anglia which is dry.
-
I have got a Sachs Dolmar 112 which says on it to mix 25:1, it's quite smoky if you actually do though.
-
Good point, still got all the roots there hasn't it?
-
I think you'll find the cutting performance of both the smaller saws underwhelming on a big dismantle. What about a 194T? Smaller and lighter than a 201 but more power than a pruning saw.
-
That's what I mean, can't see it working. The rain isn't constant, and nor is the water demand of a tree.
-
This. If I'd realised how much I'd use the battery toppers I think I'd have stumped up the extra for the Echo first. It depends what work you do a lot of though, I seem to do loads of small reductions and hedge work, so no desire for the extra weight and cutting speed of the Husky 540i. Once it gets to blocking down I just switch to petrol 201.

Exactly, no need to continue using his services.
