I finally made a decision on a new 3pt. splitter. Was a toss up between one that split in both directions, or one that could go vertical. I ended up getting the SpeeCo 3pt. model, from Rural King. One of the draw backs of the others to me, was having to order it and the shipping. The same...

I finally got up the nerve to mod the muffler on my 385xp, new in 2008. Was leary of fiddling with a saw that has allways run great. I put a simple to do, second exh. port on the muffler, no welding. :) I finally figured how to get more adjustment out of the Walbro carb on this saw. I have run...

Been working on some large white oaks this summer & fall, so today I remembered to bring the camera with me.:dizzy: Thought I'd try to get some video showing the old Poulans actually do cut wood! I usually drop bigger trees like this with the 385xp, so I included it too. Its a swamp white oak...

I recently found that my 385xp, bought new in Nov. 08 has a Walbro carb, but in the ownwers manual, says Tilloston. I use this saw ocasionaly for milling. When I started milling with it, I tried to richen it a little to be on the safe side. Well, I could get very little, if any adjustment to the...

A little over a year ago, I owned 1 saw, and was gettin by just fine. Now, since joining this site I have found myself with 10 saws! Well 9, if ya don't count the "Wild Thing" lol. I have learned a bunch, not only about my beloved Poulans, but others as well. Who knows, might even own a Sthil...

Well, heres something I thought was a little different. I use the old 8n in the woods all the time, and thought it would be fun to rebuild a 3400 and paint it to match the tractor. :) I know, the tractor needs to be painted now. Ive owned the tractor for 11 years now, and its still not...

I have been milling for awhile now, using Baileys woodsman pro chain in 24" loops. Yesterday I decided to try my 28" bar. I have 2 loops of it I bought back in Dec. or Jan. Been in the boxes, havn't used them yet. Put one on and noticed that alot of the cutters were never ground, all seem to be...

Hi, Didn't know if I should puts these in a new thread, or post them in the old one? Any way, I managed to mill up a couple cherry and one oak log so far. Starting to get a stack, small, but its a start.:)

Thought I would post some pics of my first stab at milling. Using the Logosol Big Mill Basic, Poor mans M7:D Built a log table to attach it to and got some logs on there, but found the log was to big, 23" or so, couldn't get the rail/saw up high enough. So ordered a extension kit, it worked out...

I recently purchased a Husqvarna 385xp, new, with 24" bar. I bought this planning on on using it on a chainsaw mill down the road. I figured I would fire it up today and give it try. Will use it awhile to get it "run in" and limbered up so to speak. Im using Husqvarna 50:1 mix and 93 octane gas...

Thought I would see if ther is any you guys that mill loggs or small time loggers near northwest ohio that would be interested in white oak trees or logs. Had 4 large Swamp White Oak trees die recently, one last summer, and the other 3 this summer. I havn`t measured them, but at least 30 inch...

Hello, New guy here, been reading for sometime now, but my first post. Few questions for anybody out there. I am planning on getting the Logosol Big Mill Basic. (pending funding :) I have downloaded the manuals and plans for the home made log table. Seems this is as close to the M7 as...
