We now move our trunks for our mill around with the yard loader from our neighbours. But lifting 1000kg trunks often results in some two wheel action. Now we are looking at buying our own solution. The smaller the better. We don't have a huge compound. Just a big garden. How do you guys move...

Hi guys, I'm on a loss here. I have this 7900 that won't fire. Full story is. The handle got crushed under a heavy branch with my hand in between. Consequence being, my buddy replaced the handle (forgot the fuel filter), and together with my wife finished the yearly firewood collection. The saw...

I'm close to buying this bandmill. https://traktasmowy.pl/index.php/price-list/ 8 meter rail (26ft) 11kW motor (upgrade) 96cm width (38") With the auto height adjustment and feeder. I'm milling mainly oak arround 30" Here are some video's he sent. The guy is the engineer. Seems like a simple...

Just a reminder, an accident can happen anytime. I was cutting down an old oak with an good overhang, 90 degrees to the road, so we needed to motivate it into the right direction. We used an other oak as an anchor, a 4x4 to pull a climbing rope. I said to my mate, I would have used the pulley...

We are planning our bandmill, and I am contemplating a maybe stupid, maybe brilliant aproach to making the first cuts level (by lifting the thinner part of the trunk). So I was thinking about a hydrolic chain of a couple hydrolic jacks/lifter (every meter or so) but leave the lifter in the end...

Hi Guys, I use my chain grinders quite often when I hit a grenade shell (the area I live in was bombed to bits at the end of WOII. No Old oak without a bit in it) or a rock. But it annoys me that the disk only spins one direction, so one side is always sharper then the other (at least in...

Hi guys and girls, We have a small firewood operaton going on here in Germany. Just about 60 m3 per year for neighbours and ourselfs. Most of the time my wife joins in, but she is just not able to cold start our 50cc 353. Which I think is almost the easiest to start in the world. 3 Pulls when it...

Hi guy's, last year I started playing with an alaskan mill. Great fun. We have a lot of european oak standing around, doing nothing. We started off milling a 1m wide oak with a 7900 dolkita. First learning experience was, sharpen the chain, every run. Second. A big part of the 6 HP is going to...

Hi guys, My Stihl 200t has kind of given up on me. One of the problems is it stalls after it gets hot. Having restarted the thing to many times while in tricky positions (even though starting a 200t is very light) made me think, maybe explosionpower is not the best way to go when doing...

Dear happy tree friends, I'm a enthusiastic homeowner, and help a friend user. I'm cutting about 75 solid cubic meter (festmeter in German) a year I think. I see a lot of cords mentioned on this forum, but I have not got a clue how that translates to cubic meters or tonnes. I'm now running a...
