    Bar for bucking hardwood

    Olive tree. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olive#Olive_wood. The picture is from south Corfu. If you come again, and want to spent some hours limbing and bucking sent me a pm. You can always bring a 80-90 cc chainsaw. We could use it.

    Bar for bucking hardwood

    Ok, guys some feedback. I went for the standard es bar. I didn’t notice any particular drawback to the power of the saw. Also I didn’t find the extra weight of the 28” bar particular annoying for bucking and I am not a big guy. The bar weight was against the tree trunk most of the time...

    Bar for bucking hardwood

    In my case the 462 will be used 80% of the time with the 20" (es light) and the other 20% will be with the longer bar. I wondering if the standard ES will be more forgiving in case of a user error. For example if I bend the bar, won' t be easier to be fixed? Do you think that the 462 will be...

    3/8p vs .345 for ms241

    Hi, When I bought my 241 2 years ago, it was equipped with a 18" bar and 3/8p chain. In the new stihl catalogue for 2014, I noticed that the 241 (along with the 251) comes only with .325" with .063" gauge. Is it a specific reason for this upgrade which I have to consider? My main use of the...
