    Local Shop - Such A Dissapointment

    Place to be My local dealer is right next door to the four local big box stores TSC ,Lowes, Home Depot, and Walmart, and does one heck of a business selling to the general public and the pros. He places prices on all displayed products, and never argues prices. His hands are always dirty from...

    Just Bought a 361 - Should I Upgrade to 441?

    The Lousiana Hayride is where I first saw Elvis in 1953, and Bob Wills was one of my favorite shows. I was a little snot back then, and Homer&Jethroe use to make me roll with laughter. My gramps was a bass player and trained me, he played anything, classical to rock. I wish I had his old bass...

    Just Bought a 361 - Should I Upgrade to 441?

    You are right, and no, I did not cut more wood with the big 660, but the wood I did cut was done much easier, and "easier" is the key to me when handling any piece of equipment, and balance is everything. To me, the weight difference is not the issue, it's the right tool for the right job, and...

    Just Bought a 361 - Should I Upgrade to 441?

    Well, the wood burning forum is one that I do read. We don't have much big timber down here in Georgia, and sixteen to twenty is the norm for bars and is fine, but there are stands of woods that need all the power you can get, rare, but I sublet, and the big ones are there for the job.The...

    Just Bought a 361 - Should I Upgrade to 441?

    Bigger I have to agree with Clearance, a bigger saw with the reach of a longer well balanced bar will save your back. My MS180 is my favorite saw, and my 359 is my favorite firewood saw. But there are times that I wish each could carry a longer bar. This past fall I helped a friend clear...

    Stihl P&Cs are going trash ?

    Obama Change??? Works real well on certain government funded projects, or Insurance company's funding two sides of the investment portfolio, big ol tax credit for investing in so called small manufactoring business's. As a personal note, I had a neighbor who ran saws for a living...

    Stihl ms192t c, ms 192t c-e; difference?

    .043 chain, non safety I run Bailey's Woodland on mine, very good stuff, and yes, the narrow kerf chain runs like a scalded cat on these saws, I was a little leary of it at first also.Bailey's chain is the non-safety chain and is very durable. They sell it in pre made loops.The chain part...

    how man here free hand sharpen theyre chains

    No hands?? All you free filers are very lucky indeed, I have to carry spares with me all the time, and SHARPEN, not grind them on a umm, chain grinder. A tornado wrecked my head and I just can't do the hand filing thing. A guy works with me sometimes and can free file a chain to where it...

    What is "strato-charged"?

    They all wanted to sound like Fender Stratocasters guitars so they would not be ashamed of sounding like wimpy Jacksons, Charvels or Pearl drums. oops, wrong forum, maybe.:buttkick:

    Stupid me!!

    Bingo!! I ruined a few chains not paying attention to the fact that what I did not see was as important as what I thought. You really have to be careful in your setup to just LIGHTLY touch the surface area with a grinder and not to over do it. Dressing the stone on a regular basis is also very...

    Whats a chain cost?

    Bash Them!!! Typical for a Steal you blind Stihl dealer. Click on the Bailey's link and get what you need at the good old American economic freedom way.

    Woodland Pro. Who makes it?

    Bailey Chain As a long time user of various chains from various dealers I can confidently state that the WP chain from Bailey's is good stuff, and for the money it is great. I especially like their 34LP chain for the small saws, stays sharp longer than Stihl's, and cost half than the dealer...

    New guy questions...

    Dull chain Is your chain getting the oil? Make sure you have oil on the chain, if not, take it to the dealer, I have a pole saw that initially would not oil, the dealer immediately warrantied it and had me back on the job. As others have mentioned, do not get the nose of the chain in the...

    Bailey's Rag

    Weighs my heart Now do you honestly believe that?LOL My son first pointed it out to me of course, seems he is always educating his ol' man. Just mailed out order for a few roles of that 34LP chain for my little Stihls, man the dealers around here charge $16.00 a roll, and it has to be...
