No not even bad twisty redgun,the only trick with these is the length of the wood is importent.All the power is at the rear of the axe,if the axe goes past the centre of its stroke you loose a lot of force.If you have a short bit i put a redgum sleeper off cut under it to lift it up.You can adjust the splitter for whater length wood you like,and they is two places you can conect the ram to the axe,one is 30ton the ather is 44ton i think.

Ok i have used it a bit.

Therrin · 9th June 2009, 05:44 PM

Yeah those saws don't look used at all! Very clean...

Maybe you cut it with something else and just put the new saw in the picture? yeaaaaaah.....

Nice splitter. Great setup you got there. Good stuff

JohN Dee · 11th June 2009, 10:59 PM

Lol just cuz' his saws look brand new doesn't mean they havn't been worked hard. For everybody world wide the trick is daily maintenance and keeping the users to a minimum (Oh and keeping them the HELL away from roundup marker dye

)

Nice firewood set up there mate, nice saws too!

I must post some pictures of our mega set up... Soon... Hmm maybe later... But I will!

Eventually

Oh P.S GB bars are the shiz, we use them and get so long life from them. Especially from all of the abuse and I mean abuse, I could imagine.

stihlman441 · 19th June 2009, 08:18 PM

Yes they all get used and cleaned offen,i can show you what they acheave.

axe · 28th August 2009, 12:52 PM

nice lookin saws and it is amazing how nice a saw can stay looking if you take care of them

25inch361 · 16th August 2011, 04:25 AM

I know I'm trying to compare what I think is a lot of use to the pro's here that put 10 hours a day on their saws....but I've run 5 or 6 gallons of gas through my saw and it looks brand new still

(It's the one in my Avatar)

Is that a GB Arbor Pro bar you have on that?

I'm about to get a couple but haven't bought any GB bars for a couple of years, things have changed a bit since then.
