Hi All,

Victoria Plains region of Western Australia

This tree turned out to be a massive termite nest and destroyed my bar and chain :msp_mad:

X27 didn't get to split too much.

Yep, termite chimneys are the bane of my existence.
You need multiple loops, I usually take about 4-6 or just try for timber species without dirt up the guts, but it isn't easy in some areas.

BTW, good saw choice :msp_thumbsup:
Best bang for buck firewood saw currently available IMO.

Did you buy it locally or from the US ?

and congrats on your first post, looks like you've been lurking for a while.
The Antipodeans are slowly taking over AS :D

Yeah I had been lurking doing saw research for a while, which is what led me to the 6401 (and X27 for that matter).

Both have been purchased from the US :msp_thumbup: even wholesale prices for this saw where more expensive here :msp_mad:

I might have to look at investing in a few spare chains, its great firewood (Powderbark Wandoo) but Jarrah seems easier to cut.

I was doing some hiking trying out my GPS today and I stumbled across this really old stand of yellow birch. Took some pictures that I thought I would share. It's still early spring here so the leaves are not yet on the trees.

I'm going to make it up there for a visit someday.....just worried they will not allow me back in once I cross the border:bang:
 
Couple pics of the Craftsman 5.2 milling some Walnut.

A couple of pics of new Snellerized 660 and Ford Falcon FG XR6 Turbo.

Are you leasing that from Ford Andrew? Those things hammer. I've driven an FPV Typhoon that was pumping out over 400HP at the rear treads and that thing was nasty, but awesome :)
Auto or manual? All the reviews say that they are better suited to the slushbox but I'd still have to buy one in a manual :cheers:

Ya mate i lease them and change between 2 and 3 years or when ever the trade in pays the lease residual and its the 6 speed auto and yes they have some big hairy ones,give them v8s a scare.

Some pics of the outside but this is the old one but the new one is the same and has all the bells and whistles.
