MS 241?

[XSKIER]

I just like the one with the sharpest chain.[emoji14]opcorn2:

I seem to remember somebody pretty eager to show off how horrible a 550 could cut a cookie. Even if it was a little flimsy.

Yeah, those saws make a great gtg showing. They're not so great when you get into the woods trying to fell and buck.

Its a 50cc saw for limbing its not for felling and bucking logs

Yep, you're right. What a fool I am to expect a flimsy Husqy to be able to adequately cut this load. (14" max dbh)

He's still on the whiskey

 

[XSKIER]

'tis better to grab a whisky than a flimsy Husqy.

Not only do I do several 026's per year with OEM parts, I also do a bunch of 044's and 036's... People are totally willing to pay for the work and they are essentially getting the same saw I have on my shelf new for half the price. Stihl basically keeps supplying parts as long as they are selling. There's a good reason it's so easy to get OEM 260 parts, they are still selling.

So you do a complete rebuild several times a year? I was not talking about rubber garment or seals, I was talking about substantial hardware. What does that cost for a 026/260? 3-400$ Those people sure must love their saws!

I give them a bit of a break on pistons and cylinders. The bill will usually run in the $300 range. A small price to pay for a good running 044, pretty steep for an 026. I do just as many with Meteor pistons and cleaned up OEM cylinders.

Did your dad get the saw yet

 

[computeruser]

Play it safe and see that he has both bars.

Have a 14" and a 16"? That seems stupid. What can you do with one that you can't do with the other?

Yep, hopefully sunday will be the shakedown run.

Did you get your 261cm yet?

Broke eh

 

[Red97]

Well put it this way. 23, House, girlfriend, dog, DIESEL. Yep broke as all get out.

Unless working hot lines

Hot lines are no problem. Just make sure your at the same potential. Never seen a guy use a chainsaw that close to energized conductor, but have seen them bare hand 345kv out of a helicopter. Probably not too many tree trimmers that work from helicopters anyway.

Give it a little scroll. One of Randy's had damage to the clutch cover during shipping. That definitely does not bode well for use...

A fork lift coult have hit that. My old Mac 10-10 has half it's cover chewed off .
