[deye223]

yippy just got a roll of chain cheap:msp_thumbsup:

 

[deye223]

Yeah sorry - I threadjacked you. When someone asks 'does it get cold enough for fires' in Oz I just can't help myself. Round here the question might be better put as 'does it get warm enough to let the fire go out'!!

Nice to see what some other Victorians are up to on this site.

Well... It's nice in theory, but in practice it doesn't amount to much. Firewood gathering is prohibited until March (I think) and the DSE aren't happy about the permits going, so they are cutting back on the firewood coupes. The coupes tend to be pretty sh!t wood to be honest, and the tracks get thrashed out by suburban heroes coming up on the weekends. I don't know anyone that lives around here that collects from the coupes.

The irony is, if a massive messmate comes down on the road and you happen to be the bunny caught cutting it up so that people can use the road, DSE get stroppy with you for 'unauthorised firewood collection'. :msp_mad:

Anyway, it's a bit academic for me at the moment: A massive candlebark came down at the back of our property over Xmas - took out 3 fences when it came down. If I want to collect firewood I toss the 576 over the back fence, cut what I can, roll the rounds back to the fence and split it and stack it. I've got over 4 cubic meters so far and haven't needed to start the car once! Nice.

It's a farce.

You still need a permit last I heard, only that no money is taken.

Bugger the coupes with their muddy crappy puddle lying junk, lol!

Welcome Tim.

Nah mate. Nobody lists one. You'd have to go custom I'd reckon. If you're thinking of .404" on the 261 even I'd start to worry mate I also think you'll find clutch cover clearance an issue with a 7 pin .404" rim and larger teethies.

Dude you're the cleanliness king It does alright that thing considering it's .404" in hardwood. If that chain is blunt I'd hate to see it sharp!
I actually like the 044/440's and the 460's more than the 660's.

 

[Stihlman441]

When ya got one of them in ya hands for 4 hrs straight and only stop for fuel and a chain tickle they are all crap.
