the all aussie dribble thread!

Finally some competition for my rok

sounds like we need to arrange to run it against something substantial like his masters alki 070 copy.
Cold start with three ''complete'' discs, since you have the smallest toy so you get to choose the block size.
Where's Dallas, he is the man to promote it and sell tickets ect.......

18"dia radiata should do. Ile have to get it off the owner but I'm sure he will be up for it. Might even sharpen the 1/4 chain

Your awareness of costs is spot on.

whats nice is your costs all the way up FNQ and mine align as i often wondered if i was being touched up by the DB as had not been able to benchmark quote given..

I can say I'm been gouged at what known as shutdown work NGZ no go zone eg one span 1 hour 66kv circuit so divert -able feed to shutdown $10 grand and thats just the paper work on top gear blokes all charged at 4 hour OT rate minimum so i just don't do this i have a handful of 66kv vs tree but at $14k they each can burn to hell

Solo 654 chainsaw hot saw

hot saw or not is that not cheap @255 for that class of saw given normal advertised prices

um, actually, isn't wattle a type of Acacia?

 

[chippy]

This is confusing......the majority of Australian wattles are Acacias, but the rest are not....

Could be a bargain there

Anyone know what the go is.....both are common in Wellington Shire, Vic.

The timber with no bark could be Blackwood (Acacia Melanoxylon) or at a push, it also could be Lightwood (A, Implexa) Lightwood is a much harder wood as far as Acacias go, though it tends to grow in poorer soil and hence doesn't achieve much size, though in Gippsland a greater size is possible (10-15 m).

The timber with the bark I'd say is Black Wattle (A, Mearnsii)

When stock it had same power and weight of a MS291......

 

[David (saltas)]

There are five black wattles up this way that I know of but I recall there are something like another ten I researched trying to I'd a local species.
They one I call black wattle is harder than cement
New chain and the cut has black burn marks from the heat.
Burns hot
Can be used for wood turning but will crack if used cabinetry

Any one on here pickup three dolmars today off eBay? If you've got his new number I wouldn't mind it. He owes me money...

Looks like they didn't sell.
