Hey all, I am a noobe to this site and I am looking for a little info that may help me out.
Let me start by saying I have been cutting trees for over 25 years now so I do have experience in trimming, felling and hurricane cleanup (Katrina).
I have a Stihl Chainsaw that will cut fine straight up and down but if you turn it over on its side to cut a pie it will only cut into the tree about 3"-4" before it seems to stop cutting anything in the heart of the tree. The bar is a 26" I believe but I have a 44" for flush cutting stumps also. the larger blade work well for the first 1-15 stumps but it started doing the same thing that the shorter one now does. We have sharpend the chain and checked the adjustments on the saw but nothing I have tried short of a new bar and chain has helped. I thought that maybe someone with more experience then myself could shed some light on this problem for me. Thanks in advance.
