MS441 MS440 MS460 - High Output Oiler Install

I like the bigger stuff. It's a lot less walking and chasing it. Cut one round and split it and you've got a big pile.

 

I was confused there...my name is Nate too. I was thinking g I dont think MM knew that?

 

Most of the time it's hand split.

 

I try to stay around 18" or bigger most hand splut

 

Heck with saws I'd be using a processor at that volume.

 

Yea if I was to do that volume id have an old buncher and one of those firewood processors.

1500 cords is 150 truckloads around here! You would have to get 3 trucks a week felled hauled bucked and split!! I dont think I would have time to do that if I spent 60hrs a week at it!!

 

Randy, is this worth doing on the MS 440 you're doing for me now? My plan is that this 440 will have the 25" bar I ordered with my MS 362, putting the 20" that came with the 440 on the 362.

Worth it? Cost?

Thanks,

 

Haha, I was confuses reading that. Reading it 3x before yours . I was like????? Am I missing randy I. This post? Had to look what I was reading.

 

Stihl bar.

My processor can do up to about 18" "ideally". Anything bigger than that I run in the small splitter. Often when the birch is that big though it's punky/rotten in the middle and makes a fair amount of waste.

Keep in mind too that an 18" bar can buck a ~3ft tree. Not many 3ft+ trees around this area.

 

I know u can buck a 3ft tree bit its a pain to have to go from one side to the other to buck. Sure you can over buck larger than 18" from one side but not much over 20"

 

I thought maybe the problem was the oregon bar has a tiny oil hole now. I have drilled them bigger on oregon and some stihl bars. It does seem to help a little.

 

You can still drill them out to 5/32" if I remember right to get more oil in the groove.
