Well, it's not finished yet, I just started it this afternoon but I intend to post some pictures as I go along. My wood is mostly Black Locust and...
I have chain to use up, too. I do like the semi-chisel for durability in dirty wood, and a lot of my wood cutting is dirty, with sandy loam soil...
Being grabby doesn't bother me much, as I run 3/8" on all of my other saws, even skip tooth on small limbs. As long as the rpm's are up, it flies...
Does that take a special bar, dedicated only to 3/8" Picco? What about the drive sprocket? I mean, I know I would need to get a different bar for...
I was just wondering what the general consensus or your preference for chain size and type for the 261 CM They usually come with .325 chain in...
My wife only complains about the wood when I build my fires to hot, which is kind of often in this shoulder weather 28 to 35 in the morning and...
It seems like somewhere I read that .063 chain is better at not getting thrown off the bar if you happen to get in a bind with a slightly loose...
Yep, you got a good deal, I wish we had a good used saw shop, locally, for checking out the occasional opportunity like that.
That was going to be my question. Does anyone else plan on keeping firewood that long? Of course, I guess if it's kept dry and off of the ground.
That's interesting, being brand new design, but I think I would probably just opt for the 462 CM instead, just in case, there's still bugs to work...
They are overthinking it in several of these vids. I saw that one guy in one of the vids that would raise his ax up over his head carefully and...
I tried several forms of tape, etc. and it helps, but the para-cord wrap is better, once you learn how to do it. However, I have gotten a lot of...
If I was going to cut wood to sell, I would definitely owe a 40 ton or bigger splitter, but for my own use, I can't see owning one. I don't even...
I had a new Stihl skip tooth, I bought when I bought my 462 with a standard .050 gauge 28" bar, but I never used it, and when I swapped out for a...
It was painful to watch!
I have the 2 in 1 sharpeners for both 3/8 and .325 chain, and they work, but I feel like you still have to know a couple of things, like getting...
I think I will build one more Holz Hausen out of Black Locust this winter, maybe a bigger one. Maybe a mix of Black Locust and red oak.
I really like your little trailer. I guess that's the Yutrax duelly trailer?
I think it has been proven that a Holz Hausen doesn't dry wood any faster, but it is very friendly to use when you have a bunch of ugly's to...
Anyway, those Bailey's Pro Safety dogs are some bigger still then the larger Stihl dogs, and are supposed to be hardened or tempered steel, and...
