Maybe you're not as soft as I thought. Hey in outright grunt there is absolutely nothing between an 880 and 3120 and at the moment the Stihl certainly has a better filter with the HD2 and also being an inboard clutch it's a lot easier to swap rims out between 3/8" and .404" or if you're a wee bit crazy (like me) even .325"
Although the edge goes to the 3120 in sideways balance as they have an outboard clutch

Sickening Andrew, absolutely sickening...

I mean if a young lad doesn't want to throw an 880 or 3120 around all day just for fun then the country is more rooted than I thought...

why waste myself for the whole day the 026 or the 660 is all i need for a productive day

Well if you're cutting down sh*tloads of trees you may as well double your effect on global warming by running an 880 or 3120 in the process...

By the way, you won't waste yourself, just plenty of fuel and bar oil

It will simply make you more of a man.

yeah nouthing worse than trying to put a big bar on an outboard clutch but one thing i will say is the 880 has a better note the huskys have a bi of a tinny sound when stock

Whats wrong with VB (Vegies and Beef) its a bit hard to get a feed out in the paddock so this is the next best thing.
Got to keep ya fluids up on the big jobs.:redface:

Very Bad, Vomit Bomb, need I continue?


And I agree about the feed and fluids, last time I went out with a mate we dropped, dragged, blocked, split and loaded 5m3 across 2 4wd wagons and trailers.

He got carried away and put about 8 9 foot logs of about 8" diameter on his roof rack, bloody heavy to lift and slide on. He wasn't enjoying camber changes, he's another weird land rover driver (old Defender). Then the back was stacked against cargo barrier and windows to the roof, and the back seat footwell stacked full too. Plus another 1.5m3 on the trailer of green timber. Anyway we got to 4pm, time to go and realized we'd missed lunch.

I think I need a Landy Rick, but how do I get a bit more poke out of it...

You'll get more poke out of one Rudy by changing vehicles and reattaching the Land Rover badges to said new vehicle.
