I had a job on yesterday, milling this oak log, well it’s the top bit of the tree in the background, the length was around 16’ but due to the way the log was sitting on a bank on some other logs, it had to be done carefully. And a slot cut out for the mill to be removed.
At the fat end you can see the tear/ripped union, to maximise the full slabs the ladder had to be fixed at an angle of 20\25*
Unfortunately the 660 with a 36” bar didn’t make the grade for long, I guess as it was hot it leaned out and while at full revs and the bar pulled back due to getting stuck as the wood was getting wider than the mills cutting capacity 29”.
It died in the fashion of not wanting to idle . I checked the piston. Pics later.
then had to put the 461 to work. Which did the job, just a lot slower.
my son has most of the pics, there was some lovely brown colours in the top part. he said he will send them to me later today. But in the meantime here’s a few.
