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

The HD filter has that felt outer pre filter.
The HD2 filter is the new one and works heaps better for us anyway with the very fine dust we commonly have from Ozzy woods i recommend the HD2 filter.

Got hold of a nice Redgum log to mill up.

Thanks man, that is what I ordered then. Probably better for everyone. Redwood dust can be bad too.

I hope Husky can come up with a similar filter design to HD2 in the near future, because I haven't had good experiences with their filters in the past. I might even buy some more husky's then too... :msp_biggrin:

No probs mate,you will find a little grease around the treaded shaft where the filter and it sit and all will be good.:smile2:

 

[Stihlman441]

Starting to put a dint in the pile.

I bet the 261 was fun on that small stuff.

I think this is a yellow box but not dont know ?.
Please let me know if you know,i have the trunk part and may slabb it if i can find out what it is.

I set up the ported 441CRM Tronic today with a 20'' bar and 8 pin for blocking,interestingly get about 30 to 35 mins out of a tank compared to the 460 about 25 to 30 mins but the 460 is stock a ported one would use more.
Fuel per tanks
460 800cc
441 725cc

The 441C is so much more user freindly than the 460 in every way,smoother very little vibs,less fumes, better filter system, simple starting system, a joy in every way.:msp_thumbsup:

Put an Oak log on the ute to bring home but could not roll it off,got the quad bike out with a little help got it off and all is good.
In the US i think they call Oak as a hard wood,well there is nothing at all hard about this Oak,wish all Ozzy hard woods were like this.:biggrin:

Yeah I know they do go on a bit about hard stuff dont they Oaks just sweet n soft.

I try n get a good pic of a 6 plus ton limb section of a est 400 year old massive red gum that cleaved off on the weekend. Its over 1.5 dia in places and 8 metres long after we trimmed off the limbs. You wont get that on ya ute, n my crane truck bloke gonna struggle as well.

 

[Stihlman441]

Not a lot to go on there lad, so I'll have a guess yes either Eucalyptus melliodora Yellow Box or eucalyptus goniocalyx Long-leaved box

Me,,, well I'm a fan of the red box Eucalyptus polyanthemos

 

[Stihlman441]

Where that Cypress was he is going to build big yard and have a sheep feed lot along that area.
We dont burn Cypress,Pine and that type wood over here we have a lot better wood to heat the house.

Yep same here we dont use Cypress or Pine as firewood.

 

[derwoodii]

Sent it over i will slab her up.

Narh sos its gonna be a landscape habitat log. We'll create a mulch bed below the tree and plant with native grasses etc usin the log as a feature to preserved the tree site and keep away passer by's cus if was a normal day with kid sports on,:msp_ohmy: dear god be squashed cars n ozkickers..

 

[deye223]

if the grain of the timber is as curly as the bark my guess and it is a guess is yes spose it's been dead for a long time no pics of the leaves or fruit even old fruit pods on the ground under the tree would help

 

[Stihlman441]

Ya my most used saw i would say.

I tell you what when you get the opportunity to run those smaller saws you grab it and run I did a heap of stumping with my little 261 on those Casuarinas - it was relaxing!

 

[Stihlman441]
