I found some old picture of me and pictures I took of the farm from up in the lift. These pictures were taken in between 1998-2000 based on what trees I see cut down. My family had an apple orchard from 1925-2000. 16 acres and around 2500 trees. would produced around 5000-7000 bushel a year...

Throwing the idea around again of upgrading the 066 to a 880. This could be a hopeful dream at best. One thought I had was setting the saw up for 3/8" chain instead of .404. Was wondering what are the kerfs of these two chains. Thanks Chris

I have this baby saw that I wanted to fix. I tried using the saw a few weeks ago and the primer bulb thing cracked. I was looking to replace it without having to pay labor. I was wondering if I could get some assistants on replacing it. Procedure or what to look out for. The part looks like...

I took some pictures a few months back when I was cutting bowl blanks out for some hard maple. I probably do not use the safest method for cutting blanks but I few comfortable doing it this way. The one picture shows how I hold the blank with the heel of my boot. At this point I saw the...

A month or so ago I was out cutting bowl blanks in my driveway and decided to take a pic of the stihl family. In the picture I have a 25" bar on the 044. The 066 has a 20" bar and the 260 has a 18" bar. A few weeks back my firewood buddy passed away (my dad) and I have the use of his 025 and...

Last Wednesday I went to the local stihl dealer and order some stihl summer protective pants. The guy I dealt with said they should be in early this week. I called today and I was told they were on back order. It kind of ruined my week. I was looking forward to trying them on. Just my...

I have talked about this jig but have never taken pictures of it. I have probably milled 30 logs with this setup. I started out with the granberg rails and there system. I did not like how limiting the jig was. The log always had to be at a certain length. Here I am leveling the square...

I want to change the fuel filter in my stihl 044 and 066. I have had these saws for a long while and never knew there was a fuel filter to change. I did a search and did not find any good info on procedure. I imagine it isn't to hard but was wondering if I could get some help to get me...

I kind of got a thought in my head last night about selling off some lumber to buy a stihl 880. This saw would be used milling only. One question I have is is there much difference between the 066 and 880 as far as milling time per board. Say in a 20" oak log. I am looking for anything...

Can someone enlighten me to where I can get a dual port muffler for a stihl 044 and 066. Not sure if I am going to go this route but in my research I have not been able to find where to buy them. PM me or post here thanks Chris

I was just curious what fuel and oil types do put use in there saws. I see that most or alot on here like to modify their saws so I figured the fuel and oil were fair game too. With the stihl 260, 044 and 066 I use 87 octane gas and stihl oil mixture. Should I be using 93 octane to get...

I have been sawing since somewhere around 1994. We had an apple orchard in the family and my parents bought it in 1994. Every year we would cut 100 or so trees. I started out using a stihl 026. Great saw. Alot of power and light. Problem with that saw was the chain turned all the time or...
