I live in Virginia, and here we have some surprisingly large trees and some beautiful wood. I am considering starting to save up for a milling setup because lumber prices are also soaring which makes all of my projects more expensive. I also want my own lumber. I am looking at building a rice burning 880. Any advice ..read more

Update: I was at a friends today and he said he found a bar in the woods, presumably from the last time his place was logged. It won't fit his Stihl. As it turns out it's a 28" Oregon Powermatch for my Dolkita...I think I will run with that for now... the sprocket nose is tight (will see if I can free it up) but the bar itself is in really good condition...I guess these things have a way of working themselves out... I have a nice West German 038 Mag 2 I picked up several years ago at an... Read more ..read more

I already have a Dolkita 7900 and want to keep that as my saw to grab when I need smile on my face. I'm thinking I'll make the Mag 2 a dedicated milling rig. I'm going to put a 36" bar on it. I know that's pushing the... Read more ..read more

Hey everyone! I tried searching for a thread on this topic, but I came up nearly empty-handed after searching so I decided to create a thread on it. I would like the opinions of those who have used a Log Wizard or other bar-mounted log debarking tool. My father has a bandsaw mill and was attempting to pick my brain this morning about them, what they require, and what they are like to use. I have a few questions I am hoping someone can answer "How much saw do you really need to run it... Read more ..read more

Nice day to be out. Finally got some sunshine here in s.c. PA after an over 2 week drought. BIL set up some poplar for me. Made it easy. SCarr ported 394, 8pin, 28” b/c w/ square ground full comp. Used 3 loops ..read more

I put the 66” Granberg double ended bar onto a new to me 394xp and it seems like the chain is rubbing the clutch drum a little and sparking sometimes. Is this an adjustment issue or is it not compatible ..read more
