    Brush cutter blades

    In my experience the strings throw the most vegetable matter. The blades just throw bigger chunks much harder.☇☇☇

    Brush cutter blades

    I’ve been hit a few times with parts coming off this type of blade. Feels like being hit with a paintball at close range and does leave a mark! Think my next purchase will be the full helmet and face shield. I feel like I have been lucky so far…

    Brush cutter blades

    These blades are phenomenal for berry vines and the like! Wish I had discovered those years ago. I took out a pretty substantial patch of black berry in about 15 min and it mulched down to almost nothing. For saplings up to about 3” stuff the $15 chainsaw blades work great and are easy to sharpen.

    Why are chainsaws so popular?

    How did they pull them? I've heard that they have a substantial root system. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

    Why are chainsaws so popular?

    I was thinking about a brush cutting get together at my place. It would start with a scotch broom rodeo. I’ve got about 10 acers of old growth scotch broom for felling and bucking.

    The Correct way to Season Wood for Firewood?

    I like mine in a shed which I have but it's a little bit further from the house than I'd like. If I build one closer to the house is will put a dark, metal roof on it and lots of ventilation. If you have ever studied how some of the home saw mill guys do it you would be surprised how easy it is...

    Sealing benches

    Thinking about splitting some logs to make some quick benches around the fire pit. As I’m a spur of the moment kind of guy I didn’t cut logs two years ago and let them season so I need some advice given what I have to work with. I did a bit of milling a few years back to make some planks for...

    24" Bar

    I know someone would come by and say that… some things never change;) For me and what we cut that just means more reaching and bending. I know you could take that to the extreme but for me it just works. My first saw was a Jred with a 24” bar and although it was heavy and had slow chain speed it...

    24" Bar

    Forgot to mention the 24" I run on a 562xp and it cuts like a hot knife through margarine... I was really surprised how well it cut through 30+" of oak. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

    24" Bar

    That's IMHO the best all around bar

    M-tronic/Autotune bologna??

    I think the danger is that the technology will move on much sooner than the mechanics will ware out. Don't think you will see many 30 year old saws with auto tune

    Just wanted to say Hi… Again.

    Depending on what I am doing I will run the three bladed chopper or a 10” carbide blade that I recycle from work. Our shipping department goes through them and I take them once they are done with them. I just ordered one of the “forester” chainsaw style blades today. Should have it in a few days...

    Just wanted to say Hi… Again.

    Thanks for the welcome back. As I’ve been on a bit of a spending spree, not only on power tools but also on a few firearms I’m not allowed to look at any other saws and I have to attend weekly CA meetings J if I was thinking about another it would be something smaller and lighter… As for oil...

    Just wanted to say Hi… Again.

    I was once a regular hereabouts at least for a time… I’ve been busy doing other things lately but back in the game as I have a lot of land to clear. My current weapons of battle against the mighty Douglas Fir and scotch broom are a 562xp & Stihl FS 130 Trimmer. I’ve been cutting stove wood and...

    Husky 372XPG-talk me out of it

    I've had the 346, 372, ported 385 & 2100. Hands down my one saw pick is the 372!

    Skipchain On A 20 Inch Bar

    I tried it on my 346 with 18" and didn't like it. No better cutting and a lot more vibration.

    New chain for the 346 thoughts on 20rcs?

    Really thought there would be more responses Thanks ST for responding, Since no one wanted to tell me what they thought, I ordered some and will give it a go :greenchainsaw: next week. Will let you know what I think. Rob
