wtf ???!??!
I hope not. I'd really like to see this saw be at least the equal of a 395 in power.Stihl has programmed in so the saw runs ****** so we have to replace or get it serviced. Kinda like Microsoft windows
It's interesting for sure. He seems to know how to run the saw, but has no idea how to fall the tree.
Well... yes, but **** happens, and mistakes are made. I'm sure you've got some stories to tell too.Well, at least he didn't drop the tree on his head.

Boring thru the face sure. Starting the back cut from a corner, sure. Making u'r gunning cut twice as deep as your angled cut, can't understand that. Boring in from two different locations from behind after "completing" the back cut, don't get that either. I thought he was gonna do a modified "stump jump," but....well, I'll admit I don't know what was in his mindThat's actually how I was taught to fell trees of any value. I learned some different ways since then.
Stabbing the center of the tree keeps the heart from pulling as it breaks the hinge. Starting the back cut next to the hinge keeps the saw from binding and prevents barber-chairing. It also allows you to keep your focus on the cut untill its time to back away, rather than cutting toward the hinge and watching for movement of the tree.
The guy that taught me had an explanation for every single detail of the process.

That 661 has a nice sounding idle. He may be comfortable with a saw, I'm pretty sure he doesn't fall many trees. There was nothing about that that made sense in terms of safety or efficiency
