My MS241-CM is 3005. My bar doesn't have a replaceable nose sprocket.

I think it does but, I haven't seen an MS170. The other limbing saws I looked at had the same bar mount.

I cut some hardwood so, I don't want to burn my chain with lack of oil. It sounds like an 18" bar is probably the best compromise of everything to consider. Generally, I don't cut a lot of big wood though so, that isn't a primary concern other than not want the chain to pull off the guide bar...

I have thought about that but the narrow Kerf chain works really well for me. I do have mixed feelings about the green anti-kickback chain though.

The Cannon bar is currently out of stock but, was listed on Bailey's as being available in the future. It is also listed on the Cannon website and at other retailers.

I'm running the factory Stihl bar which doesn't have the replaceable tip. It is listed as a 16" bar but, is a bit short and a bit optimistic for a bar listed at 16" IMHO. Cost and service life are okay but, now that I am at the point of buying a new bar, I want to consider getting something...

The sprocket tip on the Stihl 16" bar is causing problems with high drag and bogging my saw so, I need to start looking for a replacement. With today's supply chain and staffing shortages, I am wondering what are my better options and where I should be shopping. I would appreciate something...

Left a message to see if that silver pump is an option. Based on what I have read, they are pretty hard to source so, don't know if that is an option today. For ~$300 extra, seems like a good upgrade.

Any thoughts pro or con of an AG SPRAYER vs AG-MEIER CHILTON BELTON 55 gallon 17' boom sprayer. I got quotes on both for $2100 and both seem to use the same 6 bearing pump. The CHILTON BELTON seems to include 'flood' tips on the end of the boom extending the coverage to 30' so, I'm leaning...

I scored a Chapin with B&D battery from an Amazon warehouse return so, I'm going to give that a try. The Smith NL-400 looks like an attractive option too for a hand pump model with its up to 150PSI for spot treating from a distance.

Fimco dominates everywhere I have been so, my main focus has been there. It looks like I need to get the 60 Gallon model to get away from cheaper plastic electric pumps. What are my better 3-PT sprayer options? I will be planting a few hundred trees this December so, I need to take care of...

I need to get a really good backpack sprayer. I need something that will support powders in addition to normal herbicides. I'm thinking Smith NL-400 but, I'm open to other suggestions. Also, thoughts regarding powered backpack sprayers? I'm wondering about something battery powered with a...

At the TFA meeting, Loblolly was recommended but, I'm waiting for a follow with Arborgen on tree species recommendations. I'm not really thinking of any pine being a preferred option. Sweet Gum grows really well around here but, we don't have a market for wood pulp locally. I'm wondering...

There is a MAJOR DIFFERENCE in developing wildlife habitat on your own property and devaluing your neighbors property and taking grazing pasture for cattle out of production. Destroying the public road is a separate issue but, it is also not something any sane person would do if they were...

Beavers may be good in some habitats but, not when they are flooding out 1 to 5 acre home sites in built up areas with lots of housing. The road itself was in good shape for the 5 years prior to my neighbors letting the beavers dam up the natural water drainage from the pastures and home sites...

I am reaching out for a bit of advice because local sources have tunnel vision and are big industry focused. I agree that I need a regional answer with a local land focus. The county I live in has our Ag Extension office destaffed thanks to COVID. USDA and other agencies are at least an hour...

Background: I have some pasture which is partially flooded by a neighbor with beavers on their property. His wife thinks getting a "free pond" is wonderful and is a bit of an animal hoarder so, my options are limited. I offered to pay for removing them and the dam without success. I went to...

I am looking for a "heavy" hatchet without being excessively heavy. I currently own and use the Stihl branded hatchet which I believe is a 600g Ochsenkopf model rebranded as Stihl. A "Swedish" origin hatchet would be fine too but, not the >$100 price. ;) Council Tool makes a lot of good stuff...

As an owner of an MS-362CM and an MS-461 I guess I'm a reasonable person to comment. I am a firewood hack and trim the heck out of things on my farm and others (elderly neighbors). The MS-461 is just too heavy for most of my cutting. I save it for the special big and hard cuts. I ended up...

Both are Stihl Rolla-matics (sp?). The dealer that sold me the bars sold me both saws too. If he wasn't 30 minutes away or I could get away from work, I would stop by and show him With the 20" bar 1 tank of gas uses 1 tank of chain oil. With the 25" bar 1 tank of gas uses 1/4th (or less) of...
