What wood is that? That wee thing is goin well. So more for just a fun kinda chain rather than actual getting work done sounds good to me haha no more dirt bikes now so gota get performance jollys some how.

I was blown away when I was there how much pine kiwis export Forresty here is just about ****ed

Some here are starting to raise the alarm about us having too much Radiata forestry and not enough diversity. We wouldn't have to have so much silting, debris taking out property in flood events, trucks ripping up our roads, etc if we got off the primary commodity produce treadmill and found ways to add more value to less timber. Easier said than done I guess.

Theres a heap of barren green deserts now with no trees no nothing but cows and centre pivots all for china meanwhile milk and cheese is horrendously expensive and cant swim in the rivers any more. Dont like being part of it but what do ya do. Forestry be cool i spose but id hate trees n saws then hahaha.

It's when they put dairy farms on land that simply cannot sustain the intensity that it pisses me off. Dumbphucks borrow for the conversions and end up working huge hours for the banks relying on capital gains to be realised when they sell but nobody seems to give a toss that the gains they need to make it all stack up are pricing the next generation of Kiwis out of farm ownership and bit by bit our sovereignty is sold to foreigners.

Interesting bout the kitsets thats really pharkin dumb. I think its jarrah down here real red stuff. Dont really like full chisel chains they cut great for a bit then gone in gum any way and a heap of strokes to get it back mayby a grinder is the go. On a 20inch bar i can wip over it with a file faster than changing a chain though so iduno 5 years of hand filling and im only just getting the hang of it really so prob down to the clown on the file.

Have a good week in the big smoke man

Cheers. I never really got to the bottom of why we did that rather than build the kitsets here. I think it might have been because there was massive housing demand coinciding with a supply of native timbers that was more than local builders could handle. They sure did knock over massive swathes of native forests way back when so had to do something with it quick.

Kiwi bro had a 2100 for sale a while back oh wait that's here in my shed now

Hahahacunthahaha. It wasn't me who had it for sale, it was a farmer mate and I couldn't afford it at the time. But having used it to drop a few trees and loving how smooth it was and the torque it had i figured someone would want it. Even with courierPost costs I still reckon you bloody stole that one.

Ah ha thats why you got 1 called the kiwi i new there'd be a story to that haha. What it cost to get it there n dramas ect ect? Very interested cos kinda thinkin maybe overseas mite be the go theres nly 4 n half million of us here so a small market for stuff.. why you not buy 1 there?

Have sent a few saws abroad. It can go easy as sending any sort of parcel, or you have to jump through a few more hoops to ensure it makes it out of the country without being sent back as a prohibited item.

The high stocking rate is pritty bad down here there pushing 1500 2000 2500 cows on a bit of land that could feed 500 max by itself or 15 years ago and canterbury is all river bed it just pours into the aquifers and rivers the coast is starting to get affected by chemical/nutrient run off now. And yea yup all pedaled by the banks they dictate how many cows.

It cost 125 bux to get my pm800 from Auckland with nz courers. Seems rather high and only went with them cos the boss has an account so to get one from Aus who's the best to deal with?

 

[460cixy]

Aust post probably

 

[Jethro 2t sniffer]

Ok simple as that no dangerous goods bullsh!t cos of fuel or nothing? Or just keep quiet about whats in the heavy smelly box?

 

[KiwiBro]

There are phytosanitary/biosecurity concerns with used saws, but regarding fuels I'm C&P-ing this post of mine from another forum:

Internal combustion engines are on the IATA dangerous goods list. Just how airlines apply the regulations varies markedly. Some are fine if they can't smell fuel, others are completely against it no exceptions. Regarding exceptions, there is an IATA "special provision" that validates the saws as safe to carry if they are purged and the shipper signs a declaration confirming this, often referred to as a purge certificate.

The relevant special provision is A70 and its application is also subject to the whims of each airline. The provision was to allow for the airlines to carry new saws that have been bench tested before being sold, as part of the general assembly process of the manufacturer or retailer. The fact the fuel systems at one stage have had fuel in them made the saws a 'dangerous good' and the special provision was there so that the seller of new saws could still move their products on airlines.

Not every airline will actually carry saws, even if new and accompanied by a valid purge cert. Their reasoning is that at some stage, even a new saw has had fuel in it and as such they don't want the risk.

It really comes down to the airline and everyone should check first because it's a bloody nightmare if they refuse. I had two used saws refused when I was flying to Canada, then when I got home and sent them they were sent back, then I found another airline that would accept a purge cert.
Contrast this with coming back from Oz with a saw and that airline didn't care at all.

-------------
Oh, and just note AusPost were about 50% more expensive sending a saw to NZ than NZ Post was sending the same saw the other way, when I last checked probably about 6 months or more ago. Might have changed now. We have it pretty good with Nz Post/CourierPost

Crazy **** right there. To think they get away with it makes ya wonder what kickbacks those at ECAN are getting for all the decisions they make that the next generations will have to clean up after. I have zero problems with intensive dairying, if the land and systems can handle it. I'm actually all for it as a better way for the environment overall if we can isolate and control the adverse impacts on the land and animals until there are none or bugger all. I don't think we are far off the point of having intensive farms that do far less harm to land and animals per kilo of milk solids than the pastoral farming we currently consider a high standard.

No fuel or oil in the saw and keep quiet. Biggest issue would be bio security with the saw dust and potential bugs that may be in it

 

[Jethro 2t sniffer]

The refusal thing would piss me off what a drama that could turn into. Meanwhile a payed for saw sitting somewhere.

Yea kiwi iduno mate its madness where there putting them now around twizel n tekapo that will drain into the waitaki real good. Most of canterbury has become a sewer system haha now there hammering all the head waters with 1080 too. In only 30 yet the change I've seen in my short life is massive my boy will never swim in the rivers i spent my childhood in. Fish are poisoned now evin the flounder at the mouths are bad. What will it take to stop it. The doller and greed rules all.

If its sustainable then go ahead but how is it proved if its not before its ruined.

 

[460cixy]

Wow sounds ****** not that bad here yet. Playing Pistons today

 

[Jethro 2t sniffer]

Whats that bice shinny thing going into?

 

[460cixy]

[billyj]

had a little accident at total tools a couple of weeks back, looks like i might have got the last new 7901 left in aus

 

[KiwiBro]

Yeah, has to be proven, and monitored with big dontPhuckItUp legislation that has jail time including loss of bond and other fines if they deviate from the plan or the science doesn't stack up.

Did you know there was a recall? The chain brakes may not work as expected. Can't say it bothers me about them at all.

Hey M2, if all new utes are ****, and because I can't afford a new one anyway, which of the used utes would you suggest as being worth chasing and which ones to avoid please? I mean, if I can find a low kms hilux...

i not ever used any Makitas seen them on the shelves but gave them no more than look,,, the reviews seem to say prety good gear if not better than

"This saw got put head to head with a mate's 660 magnum over a 5 hour period, and despite it being about 1.3 hp down on the Stihl, it kept up in all but the largest timber we were clearing.
I paid $755 new in the box for the DCS7301 as they are running out this model, He paid $2050 for the 660 and felt quite embarrassed... he he he."

 

[derwoodii]
