No need for new tyres the ones on it have a few years in them yet, but yeah chains would be good about now.... Most put chains on when they get down a bit to get more life out of a set of tyres but we won't be going back into steep country logging anymore, we have a few flat paddocks of Ironbark left to do and a paddock or two of firewood after that it will be sold...2nd hand skidders are in demand not many want to take the risk on a new skidder with massive repayments the way things are going in this country...Do you worry about new tyres or chains fix that.
Our stihl dealer closed down last year what a shame they were top notch.. We now have miter 10 selling stihl but only home owner saws ($55 for a chain to fit a ms170) I had a look at the saws on the shelf as ya do and noticed a few had the chains on backwards haha...Also a new Stihl shop opened they are crap you just get the blank look if you try and buy anything to do with a chainsaw,got a price on a roll of 404 RS it was north of $850!..Anyways we drive to the next town now for anything chainsaw just have to take a list and try not forget anything...From what I've seen, pricing on Stihl chain is out of control....

Thanks for the response Neil. When info comes from you I actually listen and really enjoy reading what you write.
Not like all these other wallys in the Dribble Thread. I don't listen to them
evening folks,,,,,, does anyone know who the oz distributers are for "Seiko Simpla flex Couplings" (rubber flex joint which joins a centrifugal clutch to a lay shaft in my aplication).
I can buy one direct from NZ but they said we should have a rep in each state here.
Do you definitely want Stihl chain?
Doesn't ring a bell Neil and a search didn't bring up much. Does it have any other name?
pretty sure he was talking about those blokes on another "the all aussie dribble thread". he couldn't mean this oneWho is wallys ?.
Nah, don't stress! He just meant me.pretty sure he was talking about those blokes on another "the all aussie dribble thread". he couldn't mean this one
A mate of mine bought one of the 72cc Baumr-AG saws for $179. It is based on the Zenoah 62cc saw. I tore it down as it ran like a dog (my apologies to dogs).
The Chinese apparently figured if 62cc was good, then why not bore it out to 51mm and make it 71.4cc. Unfortunately, they didn't make any changes to the open port transfers or the cases. I had to rework the lower transfers a considerable amount, even broke through the cases and had to GB Weld them up. Anyway, it came good and is cutting fairly well.
The 'big bore' idea is a disaster without the necessary work to get it to flow properly. As it is, with the stock transfers for a 62cc saw, the powerband is sitting lower in the RPM range. With the extra torque down low and not being able to spin the clutch up fast enough, the clutch slips too early. However, it should reliably be cutting wood for years to come - now that I've been through the POS.
When I took off the jug I found that three screws were way too short for the jug - they were hanging on by about 5 threads. I figured I would have to get some longer screws for it before I put it back together. When I broke through the cases and had to build them back up with the GB Weld, I had to removed the three screws on the oil pump - yep, that's where the genius that put it together put the longer screws.
If someone wants a cheap saw, I'd recommend the 66cc variation of the same saw - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-Chai...53?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item1e7ce2f96d
Last week I saw the 66cc model advertised for $159. With a bit of work (much less than the 72cc model), they are a very good saw for the price. The ignition is capacitor discharge and the starter is an easy start with spring assist. It is the easiest starting saw I've ever used. A 20" bar will be all it can pull.
If someone gets one, don't even bother running the saw. Tear the bloody thing down and check it out and tighten things up. The air filter didn't seal right and needs a rubber washer around the mounting bolt. The oil cap had the wrong gasket and wouldn't even come close to sealing. My mate had already lost one bolt off the flywheel cover after running it for 5 minutes.
The powerhead weighs less than 12.5lbs. It is a feather weight saw that can be fixed up with a bit of work.
