Not tried the x cut stuff yet, most who have used in hard euc said it was the same issues with normal chisel chain, didnt last in the dry stuff, good on green stuff tho. Edited to add. Those who had it were a bit annoyed that they had to get new files and guides as well as the file being only...

yeah, its chinga chain, got it to try, thought it could be acceptable for other firewood chaps about that didnt want to pay local stealership prices at the stihl shop, it surprised me. Marketing is that its german steel made in chinga factory etc. My personal choice is still stihl, husky/...

All the carlton ive used has been far harder and better chrome than oregon, was glad to wear out those loops, which didnt take long. surprisingly ive had good results using Ayao chain, have had a loop on the 024 in .325 063 semi, and its turned out to be quite a hard chain, up there with stihl...

Neighbors are clearing an unkept paddock next door, and have disturbed/ unhoused a heap of rodents in the process, lots of birds of prey about the place, saw a 6ft wedgie the other day thermalling 800ft up. Its been a bad year for rats as well generally, from our early summer rains, and have...

I've seen the more recent oregon being quite soft, chrome chips, wont hold edge, change in factory/ bad run ? Older stuff was really good, but softer than the stihl chain. what sharpening jig you using on it, Ive had good results using the husky blue roller guide on them. edited to add using...

dont confuse less hook with being blunt, that chain is sharp, and quick for hardwood, and lasts longer than chain with more hook. you saw that video I sent you of me dropping that dead euc, 660 with 36" 3/8 semi sharpened like that, it cut well. Depth gauges, or rakers are set with a...

Bermy, they are just showing their ignorance. And its a sales thing, the saw cuts faster out of the box etc etc etc. but we both know that any factory grind is just a start, you can fine tune from there with any chain. I get the same thing re asking for semi, and im a bloke. ;) so I just make...

yep, here, just busy with family etc. Ok, quick reply before going back to family stuff this season. its pretty much the norm to run 880s and 25 or 20" bars with 404 semi chisel. first for the durability that 404 and semi brings, also the slower chain speed of the 880's or other earlier series...

packet of 100 small nuts, empty into tank, slosh around, remove hard to get nuts with magnet on stick.

Ahh, just saw this post now, slowly catching up from no internet for a week. yes, coils can fail like that, start and run when cold, then they get warm, and stop working, they can be quite annoying to diagnose, and yes, a known working coil is really helpful to do so.

Could be something blocking the main jet in the carb, is the carb fuel bowl run till dry after each run, or left wet to evaporate off and leave resin, that eventually blocks up the fine jets in the carb. Or new fuel can then dissolve off bits of the resin that then floats around and waits for...

Mother in law just had one of her eyes done for Cataract, and now she can see proper colour and clearly again, and is looking forward to the other being done. Hope yours is just, if not more successful Stikine, rest up mate.

Treeaddict is still at the eye doctor getting his retinas re attached. :)

Metho I was referring to was Denatured Alcohol, or Methelated sprits, or metho for short.

yeah, sorry, forgot we both speak english, but its different :). Metholated spirits.

dried tea bags, just dip them in metho, put in fire, quick easy, long burn. Or just get some paper towel, fold and scrunch it, put to the metho bottle and soak, quick easy done.

Hope things stay quiet over your way, we had a fire here 2 days ago that affected a friends farm, wife and I took the ute with fire fighter over, but by the time we got there we watched the last 2 water bombers drop and it was contained, so we checked on things, and then went home. Then...

badge of honor, like whats left going white.
