After having my saws stolen, including my new (to me) 084 for milling, I recently purchased a new MS880.
I ran a few tanks through it before milling, but tried it for the first time yesterday on some Ash. Diameter was about 30", but seemed to cope with no problems at all.
There were a couple of issues I encountered throughout the day which you guys may be able to help me with...
I had to keep stopping to clean the HD air filter after every cut. At the end of the cut the saw would bog down and loose a little power. Does everyone else have the same problem with these HD filter systems...?
The second issue is that by the end of the session the rear handle assembly was very loose on the saw...Im guessing the AV mounts had obviously worn or come loose...Any ideas? Should they deteriorate so rapidly and are they easy to replace?
Anyway, all in all a good days milling. Will try and upload some pics!
