I Have Sinned....... Cut Dirt.....

[Blowncrewcab]

My new neighbor called and had his new sidexside stuck, He had a Cedar stump stuck up in his rear suspension. I had to use a floor jack to jack it up then cut the stump out from underneath... His saw wouldn't start so I used my Snellerized 346xp to cut the stump through the dirt.... Sad Sad Moment... There was a Rooster tail of Dirt that shot him in the face I'm gonna take it apart and clean all that out before I use it again... was a fairly new Stihl Chain

Oh man i feel your pain!!!!!! I had to cut a tree and stump to free my jeep. I was more sad for the saw.

 

[old guy]

That's why I have junk saws laying around, so I don't have to abuse the good ones in the dirt.

Only problem is the junk ones were not big enough and they usually piss me off before i finish what i have to. This case i didnt have another safe choice to use.

neighbor should buy you a new chain.

This kind of crap always happened when you run a new chain. A few weeks ago, with a Snellerized 346 too, I cut a pretty big pine, and I hit a shrapnell from WW1. Worst than any rock

Yeah but hitting shrapnel is a lot cooler than hitting a lousy rock

I save chains until they lose a tooth. Then sharpen once more to be dirt chains, hung on the wall, only when needed

It won't hurt the saw. I used my 550xp and an old bar and chain to make a trench for my buddies invisible fence. I just blew it off with air when i was done.

Wouldn't it wear the sprocket faster?

You need to get out of the house more. Sharpen the chain and move on.

 

[fearofpavement]

You did what needed to be done. Clean it up and move on. Sometimes expediency requires improvisation (otherwise known as "not the right tool for the job")

Just throw some corn or pumpkin seeds in the trench, cover over & recoup your losses when you harvest. LOL

. Same here. Keep a little plastic McCulloch for cutting dirt.

Compressed air through the bar rails and inside clutch cover, resharpen chain and find nicer friends. We have all been there once with your most polished ported saw in hand, having to sever a tree root or something. The dirt rooster tail is not anyones friend.

I would have given him a hand saw and told him to drop it off when he was done. No need to drag out a macho saw to fix his problem, let him do the work so he understands bonehead moves come with a cost.

Been there, done that. I didn't jack the thing up tho... I just kept whittling the stump until the truck could drive off it
any bloke can clip a rock, I clipped the differential...

"No good deed goes unpunished."

I wouldn't ever try to run a chainsaw under a car/truck supported by only a floor jack. Too many bad things could happen. Glad no one was hurt and no damage to the truck. A little dirt on your chain is the price you paid for experience.

Repent your sins! And go forth and sin on more.
