    Nice!
    Mine is off being ported right now, should have it back in a week or two.....hopefully.
    If it doesn't preform to my satisfaction I'm going to sail it.
    They are pretty unimpressive in stock form, so we shall see...

    Nice. Hopefully it works out for you. I sent the saw to Kevin with the oiler turned all the way down. That's why it stuck the chain there towards the end. All the way up they are like an oil sprinkler. I wasn't burying the bar in big wood before taking it to him so I kept it turned down. Stihl needs to takes some notes from Echo on how oilers should supply oil. Stingy sons o guns Stihl oilers are.

    Not sure. They are mostly blown away from using the leaf blower to clean up sticks and bark. That tree had one base and 4 seperate trunks. Dieing and leaning towards our trail. Had to go.

    We have 2.6 miles of walking / biking trails on our property that doesn't criss cross or have two way traffic. I add more every year. Try to do so without cutting anything down. I just take the old Deere mower and start meandering with the deck up high and keep going over it with a lower setting. I'm down to areas now that have lots of rotting old rotten branches and logs to deal with. Not rotten enough to mow through though.

    If I decide to jump into the GTG hosting arena it will make it very easy to het anywhere on the property with a quad, tractor or SxS. They are much wider than a bicycle.

    261 XS and stock 355t had a little action this afternoon. Wish I could send Kevin all my saws for some extra sausage, but trying to save for a tractor. 20231019_173004.jpg

    Other people's filthy tools are of no concern to me. Or what earl they use. Or what brand the tool is...

    That said, shame on you for not doing better. :rofl: :lol:

    In all seriousness I had already wiped it down with a rag. I may even blow it off with one of the two air compresses I own.

    It’s a tool not a shelf queen… as long as chains sharp!
    Mine get really cleaned 2x a year; they live in a dusty barn. Wiped down and blown off each use…

    One step closer to getting an engine cleaner spray wand and blowing a cleaner on it.
