Hmm, you'll have to have a play with the Autotune saws i've got. I really like them, they work perfectly for me. Have you had issues with the Autotune saws before? I know some early 540/550s had issues with hot starting. My 572 is a great saw, there's nothing about it i'd change.

Thought you were a Hooskie fan. 🤔

Ok, take 2, since it didn't work before.
-
Not sure mate, check the things listed in here and report back. Most things can be checked with minimal disassembly.
-
There's no gasket at the top of the piston. 😕
-
What's your budget? That's generally the most deciding factor.

Speak for yourself, i want to see it do a vertical take-off.

Because shouting "TIMBERRRRRR" isn't the same when there's only 10' of stem left.
-
Yup, makes sense. 🥴

Good to see it'll get used. Bet you'll get some lovely timber out of it. I thought you'd taken it down to the stump, that remaining section must be huge if it's 5' across. How big are the bits and how much do you want for some?

That's a beautiful piece! Do you have a photo of the finished table?
-
First one, i like the helical form as you said. Wood looks good. Will it get milled?
-
What kind of tree is that, Lux?
-
It wasn't great to be honest. I've only felled 3 or 4 trees before, and they weren't anything like this big. This was 40"+ at the stump, so needed to be cut from both sides. Gob cuts needed some tidying up, back cut wasn't perfect. It landed where we wanted it though, more practice in time.
-
Maybe it's sheared the flywheel woodruff key and the flywheel is spinning on the crank? You can remove the starter housing to check this easily, or remove the clutch cover and see if the clutch turns when you pull it over.

Day 3 taking down this big beech. A lot had to be lowered as it was overhanging 2 houses and the road. "You know how to operate the Hiab, don't you?" "Errr no, not really." "Ok, well grab it with the bucket, then boom in to snap it off and drop it in the back!"

Not stuck though are they? 😛
-
Bad enough getting your bar pinched and one saw stuck, but 6 of them? 😕

Fiat Ducato 2.3 litre multi jet advice - any good?!

The engine is fitted differently in the Ivecos, they're much easier to work on. -
My girlfriend accused me of being a transvestite, so i packed her things and left.

That's a great photo, looks like an official promo shot.

Everyone wants more. More power, more torque, less weight, better consumption, lower emissions, less vibration, essier starting, lower maintenance, etc. All these demands drive the evolution. What's a real testament to design and engineering done well is saws like the 395 and 3120, largely unchanged for 30 years.
