    48in Stihl bar .. Stihl 064, 660, MS650 or 084 for 5ft DBH Oak?

    no lean .. with 3/4 bull rope guiding fall should be a minimal fuss drop looks like everyone is right about 48in bar mounts only fitting an 084 class saw. sure don't want to use that heavy bastard 090g :D

    48in Stihl bar .. Stihl 064, 660, MS650 or 084 for 5ft DBH Oak?

    just tried fitting 48in bar to 064 .. that's a no go looks like 084 gets the job .. or 064 with a shorter bar? got a 460 for all the initial duties ..

    48in Stihl bar .. Stihl 064, 660, MS650 or 084 for 5ft DBH Oak?

    pictured stihl 48in bar fits on all saws listed I think .. but I've never mounted 48in bar on 064. sure would like to use 064 with 48in bar due to weight but does a good running 064 have enough grunt to handle a 48in bar?

    Barber Chair question

    not trying to give you grief ... but if someone after reading all my detailed posts and watching training videos .. cannot figure it out. they probably don't need to be cutting leaners at all and need to walk away. again .. there's no accounting for stupid .. know when to walk away be safe!

    Barber Chair question

    good .. let's see I specifically state to use a rated strap. I even posted up the exact model with ratings, etc. I state to wrap 3x-4x on smaller trunks cinched tight. then make the proper cut for leaners. then I posted two training video for leaners by BC gov so there is NO question...

    Barber Chair question

    not to be flipant .. but why don't you do you own research and answer you own questions. then post it up for all to see ... there's nothing better than to see someone present a topic backed with actual evidence. this topic has been around AS for quite sometime .. look how old this thread is...

    Barber Chair question

    Art .. thanks for being so gracious with your comments. I'd been biting my lip for awhile not pointing out tree pic with chain was not much of a leaner. what little lean was pointed opposite direction of fall .. have not been active for quite sometime ... is Gypo still posting?

    Barber Chair question

    well for someone that ignorant ... I sure posted a crap ton of actual evident to support what I stated you certainly are entitled to your opinion but how's about backing up how I'm wrong ... ha ha ha so far all I've been seeing is what I didn't post ....

    Barber Chair question

    this is why I called BS .. my comments about strength were specifically targeted at force needed to prevent split from starting. force generated after split gets going has NOTHING to do with amount of force needed to prevent split from starting. your comments are valid once split gets going...

    Barber Chair question

    what I see is total BS .. you've completely disregarded everything I've actually posted and come up with your own version. what is wrong with adding an extra margin of safety? now instead of attacking the post .. you start name calling ... ha ha ha stay safe out there!
