Dogs and ferret food.

Dogs and ferret food.

I know an Irish bloke who hunts rabbits with his ferrets, pretty cool how they do it.

here ya go andrew but these are subs dylan has no HV left

but as you can see they are the same 40 on the left 42 right

they are both in the new pack but the good old stuff is still the same

cheers D

 

[Stihlman441]

Right o i didnt know that thanks.
In the new threaded barrel Bruno for um um barrel weight have been using the 42 grain subs and they do perform very well.
We always head shoot so bullet performance doesn't really make much difference in this case.

we tested the 42 on larger mammals and they definitely drive

in deeper i figure it's because of the thicker lead around the nose

is slower to open up

 

[Stihlman441]

Like i said bullet performance doesn't matter when scone shooting,even solids do the job but when ya miss well that's not good they do skip around the place which is not ideal.
I do pass on the odd head shot rabbit for a small sum,wink wink.

I used to head shoot rabbits when spotlighting but now it's just all about pest destruction. If they're moving around a bit I just drop them through the chest now. Couldn't be arsed spotlighting for 6 hours then spending another 3 hours gutting and skinning

Got onto this new property (9000 acres) where im required to trim redgums so they can put in new fencing for plantations.If a property owner put in plantations 20 mtrs wide the government and land care groups cough up the money for materials,labor,trees and planting them.So we ended up with the job to trim under the redgums so the tractor,tree planter can get under them to ram posts and plant the new trees.The deal is we do this work and take the wood and clean up any fallen limbs on the property and clean up,redgum and yellow box city this place.
First day out there yesterday it got to 38 deg C but it wasnt to bad had the little tractor to help and we were in the shade most of the time.

Sunrise and the first tree.

The tractor and log grab make life a lot easyer for movind small stuff to sawbench,lifting the bigger stuff for blocking off the ground,pushing tops into piles for burning.
Block away.

On the move to the next tree,had the misses helping out.(she wonts hay for the nags she got to work)

 

[Stihlman441]

Give the ported 461 a run and all went well even in the heat,the thing is they get ported in the US in the cold snowy weather and then come here and get a flogging in the heat nice work there Mitch.
This is about half of what we took home for the day.
Redgum

 

[Rudolf73]

Thats a nice little tractor Andrew and the Falcon is earning its keep.

 

[Stihlman441]

Ya the Falcon is all good until it gets wet (if it ever does) and them im in trouble,working on a new Ranger soon if all goes well.:smile2:

A bit of info on how i do a muff modd on the 441CMs
This one is a stock saw,and you have afew ways to do it.
Leave screen in and open up port as far as you can.
Remove screen and open up port to what ever size you wont.
Add an extra port under the orignall port i like this on ported ones.

First pic stock with out screen

This one you can still see the frame work that holds the screen in,so you could put the screen back in.

Or keep going untill what ever you like.

Tools i used

 

[Stihlman441]

This is the pic of what i like on a ported 441CM.
Its interesting to see the differant coloured muff from heat between a stock one against a muff modded one from new,i will put some pics up latter.
The stock MTronic respond very well to a simple muff modd.

 

[MCW]

Rumour has it that you've opened up a few muffs in your day Andrew

 

[Stihlman441]

Yes the odd one.:biggrin:

I noticed the color change as well. Actually after I received my saw back from Brad, I decided to see If I could restore the original look to my my muffler. I took some Mothers Stainless polish, did their procedure and believe it or not, it actually restored the color close to factory. Just a little something I tried and it works pretty good, thought I would share that with you Andrew.

 

[Stihlman441]

The top muffler has been opened up and the saw ported from new.
The bottom muffler is stock from a stock saw.

Noticeably less heat from the top one.

 

[Stihlman441]

Sawzilla is home after rebuild by Mitch,new piston & cylinder after a snagged ring.
Be warned,ask your builder to clean the saw to a reasonable condition before shipping,Australian Customs made me pay for a fee for cleaning of the saw before release from them.The words were de contaminate,fumigate goods of oil and sawdust residue from another country.

 

[porsche965]

Andrew, and just how much did they charge for the de-lousing?

Governments, geez.

Videos coming?
