the all aussie dribble thread!

Bugger!

I really really really want one of those, they are a great saw and a pleasure to use.....and Ive got a lot of work coming up in 4 weeks time that would give one a ripper work out.

Keep looking, i have bought 2 new ozzie models, one on eBay for $1750 and one of gumtree for $1500. Both brand new, never started.
They are out there

 

[chippy]

Was quoted 1700 without the bar new from a steal dealer, would put a light 36" bar on it, and thats all it would prolly ever have on it. Ive found a nice piece of redgum that is still growing on the side of the road that'd be great to slab up but its about 3 foot wide....

Snowy, that's just being greedy..... :-(

^ Oh mate, take it when you can get it i reckon

On a side note, these arrived today. As soon as the 3/8 option is out, no more Stihl bars for me

Great bars, but what are you having to pay for GB?

 

[Snowy01]

Surprisingly, not much. They said that they lost interest in the aussie chainsaw market due to cheap imports, ramping back up again now tho due to the "Pro's" hassling them to continue. I payed under $250 for these (25") delivered to my door. I really hope the Australian market gets behind this Aussie manufactorer

 

[Snowy01]

Good match i think

Don't they have 3/8 ones ATM? I've got a 20" protop and 20" and 25" protop TI's NOS in 3/8 n the shed. I've gone away from them to tsumuras because I can run .325, 3/8 or .404 all in the one bar as all the nose profiles fit. GB use to make there's like that too but they then modified the .404 nose to be bigger to accept a larger bearing. Hence the protop end designation is PJ and PA for .325 and 3/8 respectively and VQ for protop .404's

Thats a nice blade you got on your saw there

Did it come with those dawgs (spikes) or did you put them on?

speaking of spikes Rudi, how big is too big on a saw

 

[Rudolf73]

I wouldn't like any bigger than on Snowys saw. Also you loose bar length when the spikes are to big and you run a shorter bar.
