Yes the belly dumps are much better than the end dumps for road building. Ive never ran any of the big stuff, just dot legal tractor pulling...
Us folkl out in the intermountain west burn lots o pine. In some places its all you can get. Like dennis said just make sure its dry. Imho...
Nice pics! Ya i know colder is better when driving on ice. Ice really sucks when its 20-32 degrees. We get a few nasty freezing rain events every...
Thats way too cold! So you are out running a rock drill with no cab at sub zero temps? Sounds like you got big $ invested in winter gear, well i...
Thanks for the info i have one thats new in the box still.
Never heard of it. I have always ran name brand expensive oil in saws i care about. Its your choice.
I live in area where we burn mostly softwoods pine and douglas fir being the majority of it. You can cut softwoods in may get it split up and...
Great firewood stash! I have never seen a cutting crib up close before.
I think this is good news. I could not understand why stihl would have a huge gap from the 362 to the 461 which is almost an 80cc saw. Most seem...
Parents getting sick is a major emotional pain, we lost mom to cancer in may 2015 and its still very weird not having her around. Her death gave...
I get the vibe of this thread. I too would love to go back 30 or 40 years and live the life of a thriving timber industry, and a simple life in a...
I think i liked my 272 that got stolen back ten or so years ago better than my 372 i have now.
Alot of shops in pnw sell the 372 with a 32 inch bar which i think is kinda silly. A 28 inch bar and skip chain seems to do just fine in softwoods.
The saws i regretted buying are 455 and 460 rancher huskys. They were ok but had hell with the oiler on the 460. Im also not a fan of 056 stihls....
I love the double dawgs, did you build those yourseld?
Put a 3/8 28 inch bar on that 440, or maybe a 24. That and a 18 or 20 inch .325 bar on that shiny new 291 will make a great 2 saw firewood...
I think its a 20$ per month min charge here where i live. Pretty easy to keep the bill at 50-90$ per month. I dont leave any lights on when im...
I take 1 70cc saw and 1 50cc saw when i go cut. Its just better to have 2 saws. Old saying goes "two is one and one is none".
Oh ya if i won the big $ i would order in 3 logtruck loads of white oak, and a truck load each of hickory, maple and locust just to have some...
O34 and 036 are some tough saws. Those and the 361 and 064 are my favorite stihls that i have run. Ive never ran a 441.
