    Cuttin’ buddy got a new Stihl Farm Boss and wanted to try it out this morning. Our other buddy met us at the cutting area and we got part of a load of Fir, Hemlock and Alder mix.

    I was surprised the saw came with a .325 chain. It ran smooth and seemed to cut well.

    Nice looking saw. Is that a 271 or 291? Did you get to cut with it?

    Nice day out there. Always fun cutting with others.

    I’m not sure. I know so little about Stihl I didn’t know there were two available. I’m thinking maybe 291.

    I sure wasn’t going to chance running it. Too fat and lazy to get up on the pile anyway.

    Warm day but nice breeze blowing.
    No rush so it was a very relaxed cutting session.
    Somebody had cut some BIG Fir rounds and left them there.

    Looked like good but I couldn’t get them split.
