[Adamski]

Terrible idea, probably a bad saw, please send to me for proper disposal!

Hmm... [emoji848] I think not!

on your side of the pond, parts availability should be great, over here even minor parts like the A/V mounts, chain brake parts, and clutch drums are NLA

No friggin decomp!! Just started it. Starts easily. But hell its pretty hard to pull over. Haha

 

[StephK87]

That's a damn fine saw! OK, it's not a "super modern lightweight high rpm machine" but build like a tank (even more overbuild than a 395), super durable with lots of torque down the rpm range (huge stroke). One of the best saw's for milling you can get

No de comp is no bad thing ...with a de comp Makita call it "Happy start" ! . As you have found they are ok without as there a good solid starter if your used to saws.

It does ooze quality build yet to get my bar delivered. Till then it can just rest.

Just gotta rotate it to past TDC and then pull it ‘properly’ [emoji848]

Once you have the bar and chain on , there potential to buck about is much reduced when pulling against the compression .

Nooooo.. it feels well... well hmmm.. well made. It’s a tank. Need to run it. Someone has done a nice job on a muffler mod before me. I feel my 084 Project may just become redundant.. [emoji15]

Think the 9010’s rev a lot higher. These are low grunting so I hear. I want it for milling I thinks [emoji106]

what bar you gonna run on it

Well I am eying a 42” or 36” for milling. I have found Stihl fit Oregon power match 36” and 42”. I also have Stihl studs for this 9000 already. Just need to swap them over and retap the mounts. These have two sets of tapped holes for different bars. But then I also want a 28” for general big lumps that need ringing.

 

[ajschainsaws]

The 28” and 36” are available with DO33 mounts ready to go in uk no Work needed , and if you grind the shanks down on the studs too 9mm the D009 bars will fit perfectly

Plenty of milling power! More torque down to 6500upm than a 661 has max @7500upm

Wanna be able to use bars on both the 084 and 9000.
