I had to cut some of the seat stem off so i could get it down to my size. The problem with the small is the wheel sizes were only 27.5 and not the 29er. Yes you need the chip on it now. Unlock the power 😆 Congrats on your new bike buddy.

@@everydaywithmenick Thanks.... and yes I'd forgotten the small frame dropped in wheel size. Tell me I have the Purion200 display and after fitting the VolSpeed the display doesn't seem to show the additional speed, just a quick blast out as its piddling down here. I'll pop out again with my phone in hand and use GPS to double check... definitely working as my eyes were streaming. 🤣 ... Take care 🖤

@ashtreecare it was a pleasure to meet you and your awesome little lad. Yes the kiln will be coming soon, just a few back logged videos to get through first then we should be right. How is she finding the Protos ? I love mine but I'm having to purchase the 3M adapter arms because the tree surgeon i subby for are using the Stihl com sets and im having to use their helmets, not something I'm keen on. Which model have you got ? Also what back angle do you set yours to when grinding ?

@@everydaywithmenick we both like the protos I am on my third one now it's her first she used to use my husky climbing helmet with the radio earmuffs I use for hedge cutting.but kept complaining it's stinks and having to adjust it so it was time to get her own helmet once she chose a colour 🤣🫣 I have the 3M arms and earmuffs on mine they are better noise wise because they are chipper spec muffs but you lose the ability to fold the earmuffs up which I miss. I have the compact professional grinder 410-230 I think. Between 80/85 degrees on back angle. Something like that I have a folder with the saws I own which tells me what angles to set the grinder to depending on the chain etc.

@@ashtreecare only problem with PPE is that it only has a certain allowed time, something like 5 years i think. Yes no one likes to have a smelly helmet, so i dont blame her. Yes thats my only issue with the Protos, we buy them for the compact ear muffs and then we need to get the adapter arms for the coms kits. Not ideal and of course they cant all talk to each other either. Wow i didnt think it was 80 - 85 on the back angle, ive just reground mine today but only had it at 60 i think. I dont mind trying new ones out though.

@@everydaywithmenick very true no one likes a smelly helmet 😂. The husky H25 chain is 80 degree back angle. I am pretty sure your 500i is a 75 degree back angle. Have a look at the Stihl USG chart that gives you all the angles you should need.

@mowtownni4587 I do remember of course. That's really good to know and hear about that, i may have to try that myself too. My other concern/observation was that the rack may be riding up a little on the forward stroke causing it to disengage from the pinion gear, my thought was to make a adjustable bearing that I can increase or decrease downward pressure on the rack. I may be wrong but I will try your method first. I'm gutted about the dreaded judder because these machines as you know are so fast and have plenty of power to do the job. I love love love mine. Thank you for sharing your findings though buddy, how are you doing over there ? Still got plenty of firewood stocked up ?

@@everydaywithmenick Yes, been a good year for supplies coming in, probably have 4 times what I had last year, currently splitting for winter 2025.

@mowtownni4587 that's great buddy. Are you still getting it in in the lorry loads ? Your still selling yes ?

@evanjohnson3578 thank you very much buddy, I'm just getting back into the swing of the videos again now. Time has come back onto my side for a little bit so why not bring you guys along too. Thank you again buddy, take care.

I love it, that’s the way life is, you have to do what you can when you can. So glad for you

@BigelowWoodcraft you know buddy, I didn't think I'd get as much done as I thought in this video but I surprised myself 😆 go get to it, i know im late to the comment now but sometimes I need that kick too. Yes kiln dried does sell for more and it has to also because it costs more for the process but being able to dry 35 cages in a week in the pouring down winter months is a game changer. Thank you as always for commenting brother, you work hard, so take it easy sometimes.

Thank you as always Evan, yes i am very well thank you, a lot going on but sticking with it. Are you doing ok ?

yes I’m doing good , thanks for asking, take care!!

Yes Jerry, Josh is at the show and he will be there on Sunday only i believe. He is an awesome guy and youd like him im sure, so if you see the team, say i said hello to them all please. I hope they do because the OS35 looks a great machine and with them extra horses will be a big bonus for sure. Yes that mini ex was awesome and id love one myself but the cost of them is quite a lot at the moment. But it was very smooth for sure. Thank you as always good buddy.

Hi and thank you for commenting, yes there is extra costs involved and do forget now exactly what the value of them were but you got port fees, handling charges, fuel pollution charges and a few other charges but yes there is an addition few thousand extra depending on the cost of the machine. Of course you have taxes depending on where you live. So whilst they are cheap, there is additional costs behind the initial machine price. Sorry i cant give you anything more specific, it has been a while since i did the import.

@BigelowWoodcraft hey Jerry 👋 so first of all, I'm sure Josh said he will be at the Paul Bunyan show so if you see Josh, go say hello and introduce yourself. I over did the cut on that video, I should of had it a little lighter but I thought aah what the hek, I'm showing it off in real life here. I can't wait to get started on one, trust me, I will be making one, whether it to sell or make as my office 😆 Thanks as always buddy.

@goatstead814 hey buddy, so I think they're about 4k but for my next adventure I think it will awesome for that very reason. Planing is also great to use this on also, I planed down a few 6" wide sleepers and it made a great finish for wet green wood. Thanks for commenting as always buddy

@@everydaywithmenick that’s a great idea, much cheaper than a professional planer and more powerful

@goatstead814 so with the twin head on the planer it would be 16 inches but the head is on a slot and it can actually plane probably 26 inches hence the name. Pretty cool tool no doubt.

@@everydaywithmenick 💯‼️

Hi Dave and thank you as always for commenting, the show went very well for me, the people were awesome but the customers werent really looking for sawmill this time round it seemed. Thank you again buddy.

Hey Jerry, thank you as always for commenting. The HD38 sure does cut nice but it has had some learning curves. Wow, have you finally decided its not going to move again ? i do prefer to have my mill down low like i do with my OS27. With the trailer package on, the wheels make it so much taller and not ergonomic for turning logs. The intelliset is great and speeds up cutting boards so much and is awesome to have. Im glad i added that as an extra. Thank you so much again, stay tuned as i have some videos coming out from the APF show.

It was absolutely awesome to meet you at the show, im so glad to have met some viewers and subscribers, your little lad was so cute too. If your ever in this area, be sure to email me and ill pass my details over to you and we can set up the mill and get you milling something in the yard. So much nicer than an alaskan mill but they have their own place in the world of milling. Thank you so much again for stopping and saying hello.

​@@everydaywithmenick that sounds like a plan where abouts are you in the country??

@@ashtreecare im in the North East, right in between Redcar and Whitby. I didnt ask where you were to be honest.

@@everydaywithmenick nice one I am 20mins away from the apf Warwickshire

@@everydaywithmenick my sister lives in Harrogate so I do get up your way sometimes 👌

The speedbox 3.0 is renowned for them errors but trust me when i say, i have never had any errors come up with the Volspeed chip, it has been awesome with zero issues. I hope this helps 👍

Thank you very much for subbing buddy, i too have subbed to your channel. Ive been speaking to Josh from Norwood who said you were great also. Any firewood is hard work. anything that is free is also great. I didnt know you were a teacher, its awesome your just milling for your self then doing other things on the side 😂 Thank you very much for watching and hopefully we be seeing more of each others comments in the comment section.

@everydaywithmenick oh no I'm not a teacher, I'm not that clever! I'm the buildings supervisor (same as a caretaker) like you said free wood is good wood

@@fulwoodphantom my apologies, i must have misread or mistaken myself, ive been highly pushed to stress recently and its been fun 😆 Its fun seeing what your on with too.

I have had no Error codes come up on this, it has always worked and never failed. Hope this helps.

No, it can only be pedal assist and no option of a throttle on these bikes is possible as far as i know.

Thank you very much for commenting buddy. Come on buddy, i speak the Queens/Kings English 😂 If you need to now anything more, ill be honoured to talk a little more Maine for you to understand. The protos is a great helmet which allows those ear defenders to be tucked away just nicely. Have fun and stay safe buddy 👍

Hey Robert, i agree i have had some issues with the clutch mechanism which is a shame because the splitter is fantastic for sure. Thanks for commenting.

😆 your not wrong, my little legs cant keep up with the motor now.

@@leeryan730 thank you

apologies for not replying to this sooner but the last 2 weeks have been hectic busy and i havent had much time to respond to comments. At 6ft tall id imagine the large frame to be the correct size for you bud. But if possible, can you not go into a bike shop and try them on for size before making a purchase ? Sorry i cant be of more help.

hey buddy and thanks for commenting. The processor is a great machine but it sure needs the correct sized timber to process. I have some perfect sized timber for it and it flies through. ive got some used steel channel i might make something out of but it wont be fully hydraulic or motorised just yet, rolling them will do just fine for now. Stay tuned and see what i come up with. Thanks again buddy 👍

thank you brother, ive since worked the processor through the remaining hardwood firewood and ive deffo got the groove sorted and down now. Yes again the processor has that long conveyor coming out and it allows it to work as a counter weight to pull it out, at the end of the day it feels a lot heavier though. I dont envy the warmer weather in fact it sucks. I was sweating like crazy on this day. Thank you again buddy and you stay cool also buddy 👍

kinetic all the way, i have split some huge rounds with that kinetic splitter. Knotty and twisted grains also and its been great. The only thing with mine is it judders but if you build it like the Supersplit then you will be golden. Hope this helps in your build process. Thanks or commenting 👍

the bucket i used on this dig was 170mm wide with the wings on the bucket. They call them a utility bucket i think. Thank you for commenting 👍

Thank you buddy, it sure is a nice machine for sure. Thank you for commenting 👍

Thank you buddy, i cant wait to start using it for the full production it can do, making boards now will be a breeze 😆 Thanks for commenting 👍

now buddy, yes ive looked at my options on the property to make a shed or building for the mill, ill share the options i have once i have a proper think and look about the woodyard. Yes the English weather isnt great and i certainly need a shed for the winter months for sure. Thanks for commenting 👍

Heyy Jerry and thank you as always. not pushing the mill already is brilliant, however i know this may sound silly but i miss feeling how the mill feels in the wood to see if its working good or not. I guess that will just come in time with more usage. The setworks is fantastic and brings production up with the intelligent mode that knows how many of the size you want out of the cant, it still requires the user to know what is needed out of the cant though. I look forward to that day Jerry, i feel we may need more than 1 beer though 😆 have a good weekend buddy 👍
