Can add an aux oiler I’m sure...how much chain can they drag? Thinking 5/6’?
YeahI think you need a double-ended 84 inch Cannon milling bar to run your two 3120's on.
In that case, a little ol' single ended 72 incher should do.Yeah
but one guy will be upside down (talking more bucking firewood now)
we have so much dead oak from beetles the market is flooded with lumber and it’s not popular. Although slab tables…
So…I’m gonna try milling some 40” dia dry hard euc. You think 404 semi chisel full comp?I have a cannon 60” in .404 that I use on occasion. Aux oiler is absolutely necessary over 42”, IMO. Longer might be possible with 3/8 chain, but would dull much faster and would likely cut wiggly as fook.
The 60” mill is unwieldy to say the least, and I tend to get a lot of wonk at the beginning and end of slabbing cuts with it unless I use the rails (aluminum extension ladder) on every cut.
It is ported and I have a 60” now.Get your 3120 ported and run a 72” bar with an aux oiler. My ms880 runs one fine with skip tooth .404 semi chisel chain. It’s not a fast process but when you get into wood that big nothing is fast or easy about it. Ideally I would get into a 84” with a power head. You loose more bar with two power heads so I’d still be gaining a little over the 72” and more power is always better. I would run a full comp chain with that setup.
