Stihlmans Wood,Tree cutting ramblings...........

[MCW]

Have you ported your MSA200C yet Andrew? Piggybacked another battery pack off it or something?

 

[Stihlman441]

Funny that i was using it out of the bucket on the weekend,its a ripper light easy to use no noise,just got to remember to put bar oil in it.

That redgum looks like its well seasoned.

Is it hard on chains?

 

[Stihlman441]

Ya the dry Redgum and the Box family of hard woods do give chains and everything else a very good work out,lots os sharpening.

Carbide not worth the hassle ?

 

[Stihlman441]

No to slow,to expensive,to hard to sharpen.

 

[MCW]

Carbide not worth the hassle ?

Carbide can be a waste of money. Small Pebble in the wood? Bang, wrecked chain. Piece of wire? Bang, wrecked chain. Sand and dirt all good but if you hit anything bigger it will start costing you a fortune in chain repairs. You can rarely just grind the damage out. You have to replace the whole cutter. Carbide is so brittle that more often than not it will destroy the whole cutter if it hits something hard.

I run a few loops of carbide but only when necessary in termite/sand infested domestic jobs that normal chain would struggle with.

Well things were pretty quiet today at work so I read this thread from start to finish. Great read here Stihlman, such a shame that most of the photos/videos are goneburger.

Can you tell me how to post a video, I have a video taken from a phone that I would like to share. Well worth a laugh as when my mate did his splitter build we played with various combinations and made it pretty quick.

 

[Stihlman441]

Ya shame about the older pics.
The way i put on vids is upload them to u tude
Copy up the top left www. thingy
Then click on Media near the smiley face and paste it in there
Ya done.

 

[koomie]

Bugger, work has youtube blocked. I will try and upload video from home unless you PM me an email addy I can send video attachment to.

Thanks for the tutorial, damn THICK kiwis!

Jason recieved 2 truck and trailer units of nice size Bluegum. 25" B&C should handle most of this with ease.

 

[koomie]

Opps sorry bro, I meant the above post go in the all Australian/Kiwi bull thread

 

[Stihlman441]

No probs bloke.
I see Blue gum has a place over there as firewood not popular here at all.
