This was a 200 year old Scribby bark, 1 meter round, cookies are 1' thick for firewood
066 with 42" bar


Quartered up so I could lift it



The next one is bigger

066 with 42" bar and 026 with 16" bar



I just love big timber for some reason.
I will walk past an easy tree to attack something like this.

you need a bigger saw
120+cc

Did they used to make railway sleepers out of ironbark? I've seen it used in hangi fires and it does burn really hot .

I would love an 084 to rebuild and play with.

Timber that big is not something I see often so 2 x 066's will do fine for now.

The 066 pulled the 42" no worries but the clutch got warm!

If I had the cash I would snap this 064 up and build a hybrid

I've got an 084 that needs a tickle, lets talk!

 

[Brewz]

I would love to but right now I am behind on bills and I really need to stop chainsaw spend until I get back on top of things.
Are you looking to sell it or have it rebuilt?

Yep, among other timbers (wandoo here in w.a. mostly).

Have an 084 in need of a new home as well.

New ways to brake up big redgum rounds.

 

[raumati01]

Its illegal to sell a saw without a chainbrake here, surprisingly this listing hasnt been taken down http://www.trademe.co.nz/business-f...restry/chainsaws-parts/auction-1063900891.htm

Good project for someone.

Iam exactly the same

The lady that owned the place was 80 years old and I had to fight her off picking up the 66 and having a go herself.
Such a fantastic lady with stories to tell of growing up in the Kimberly.
She had founded the cancer research wards at local Hospitals and even though I didn't need the timber, I went back to get rid of the logs for her as she wanted them gone to get the lawn fixed.
She couldn't find anyone who was game to take it on. Even the guy who originally sectioned up the fallen trees had trouble, and that's why they were still there.

I Like to think that doing good for good people will be repaid somehow..... one day.

The largest commercially available chainsaw and beer = completely acceptable

I love being Australian!

I recon that tree would make cutting oak look like it was green pine!
