Chainsaw thread who got what?

[Alfie]

I haven't seen any galvanised versions of that design advertised, do you mind me asking where you got it @fiatagri10090dt .The plastic coated bars are a good idea also.

This one is galvanised but possibly not as good a design & no extendable stabiliser bars on the ground https://www.donedeal.ie/farmtools-for-sale/sawhorse-log-holder-nation-wide-delivery/15985002

Is this the right Tommy ? https://www.yelp.ie/biz/tommy-shannon-scrap-dealers-cavan
If so I'll give him a ring & see if he supplies anyone local, if not I'll probably go for one of the painted versions.

I'm looking for recommendations on which chainsaw to buy for knocking and ringing large trees in or around 5-6 feet diameter.

 

[powerfarmer]

Stihl 880 ,I saw a tree removal contractor using one recently with a 32" bar. A beast of a thing.

 

[Seedsower]

Either the 880 mentioned or a huskqvarna 120 are the only choice really I think.
Hard got s/h too and be cautious if you do find one.if your trees are that big you want a 48" bar.
Cutting stuff that size is tough work

The log holder got it's first trial today, it's a great job :Thumbp2:

It has to be about fifty years ago. I think it was a Homelite owned by a neighbour.

Lovely grain in that tree

I picked up a pair of Husqvarna safety boots today https://www.atkins.ie/garden-machinery/safety/safety-boots/husqvarna-safety-boots.html Not cheap but they should last me a lifetime.

Also a pair of safety goggles https://www.atkins.ie/garden-machinery/safety/face-protection/husqvarna-protective-goggles.html
I'm sick of sawdust in the eyes !

 

[Welder]

I have a pair of those and never wear them. They are the most uncomfortable boot. For chainsaw work, I prefer something that my feet can breath in.

I hope that there won't be repercussions from canceling the cheque before they were cashed.

Rogue traders is a mild description, :tdown:

That would be the worry, she was a cute enough old girl to go and stop the cheques but maybe on the advice of someone she confided in.
