    Have seen people rig up a small hand which to assist the old back which seems to work well. Red Stringy and Pine obviously aren't too tough so should get through it fairy trouble free. Milled up a heap of Yellow Stringy which is probably the toughest of the Stringies was fairly slow going but the using a Stihl 460 got it done slow and steady with one operator logs were probably around 20 - 25 inch diameter. . .

    We changed to detergent/water mix tests and found it to be cheap and more effective in cleaning sap during cutting too.
    So you use this detergent/water mix plus saw bar oil(primary lub_retained) for all milling with dusty old 660 Alaskan?

    and for soft and hardwoods?

    Still have wedges of hardwood from dads and his dads bush mill (Tarago farm)_over 60 yrs old easy.

    Thanks again you two blokes thought I was asking at the right place_lots to learn for this.

    Using the larger mill (36" bar). would this also be good for smaller logs 18-20"? Make it easier or does not really matter (room to move)?

    Have some roadside clearings that contractors dropped off recently, some interesting short logs (1.5-2m long) mainly 24" - a couple at 30") apple jack, red box that will useful.
    Also have windfall tree but most get left for habitat but this recent one will be milled.

    Smaller/thinner milling projects the chain saws own bar oil should be fine John Mate. We only hand squirt water/detergent mix on its end when up around max width on ours around 800mm IIRC.
    Green sappy timbers the detergent helps a lot as mentioned.
    We use only/solely the water/detergent mix 100% of the time on the main bandsaw workhorse.

    Found it, a Youtubey we made on our second hand bought homemade Alaskan’s very first run a few years ago on a 5-6 year old season Red Ironbark bench seat to be John Mate:

    https://youtu.be/9_s3k1wtPQ8

    Extremely high silica content Ironbark’s munch new chains and foolishly without a skip tooth chain was very slow going we found but the cuts were smooth/easily worked later and very fine powdered saw dust.
    Notice the bouncing of the mill end, we overcame this in later tests with a second set of hands simply holding a wooden garden stake in one applying light pressure down and squirter bottle target shooting the leading edge of the chain heading back to the saw with the other Vicky hand if that makes sense?

    Thanks for digging up the vidoe Mark. Do you think the bar bounce was more pronounced with having greater lengths of unsupported bar (outside log)/frame flex?

    Like the quick fix elevated work platform, suits where smaller lift increment can only be achieved.

    Swing saw sent thru certainly achieved excelled old timer result. No need for a greater skip tooth design here mate. Seen one similar used for coming down on smaller logs for firewood cuts.

    OK. I have made an investment today that 8 have considered for many years. I have been searching online for a second hand unit cause they are dear as poison. I believe these should be in every workplace and a welcome addition into an Outback Touring rig or convoy..

    So I found this on FB Marketplace. Bloke wad working on a Demo site and this was left as written off.

    I have bought a brand new fully automatic Defibrillator Zoll AED Plus. It came with a full workplace alarmed cabinet. Might find a spot in thr laundry or under thebstairs for the cabinet. The AED will be going in the Hilux day to day and The Y62 and or the GQ when Touring.

















    The unit was commissioned on 17/02/2022 and never unboxed. The pads are dated to 2025 and the batteries are dated to 2031.

    May I never Need to use it.
