192t 12" bar, problem solved.
I was gonna say the same thing. I used to have a little 12 inch mini bar. It was so cute. It was on an Echo cs 300 or something like that.
192t 12" bar, problem solved.
This will really make the safety guys cringe but I am sure others do it.
I am going to make that cut with the power head upside down (2 hands on saw tho....one on top handle and one on rear of casing)
Whenever it was that stihl came out with these 200T's to replace the 020 av seems to be when they switched to a 14" bar. I always assumed this was because the old ones had more power...I'm really curious if thats true or not. I really hate the 14" bar the more I think about it, but I dont want to turn my baby into a dog either...
you should be fine.

Our very own oldirty tuned her right up nice. The saw was only a week old or so when he did it, that thing rips. I was a little worried at first because I'm now a saw tinkerer and I didnt want to blow it up, but she's been screaming for probably a year so far. I just sharpen em up and put gas and oil in em personally, maybe blow out the filters once in awhile.
This throwing of saws outta trees that didn't run was commonplace back in the late 60's to early 70's until more dependable saws were produced.
Most commonly tossed was the Homelite Super 2 (guessing name). It had 2 throttles (front and rear) and was a POS. That saw in the video, called the Mini Mac was also a POS and got some air time. The McCullough...Power Mac 6 was the 020 of the era and quite dependable with plenty of power. I worked for a company called Shearer Tree in Trenton NJ that everyone would pick their saw up on the way out the door in a little cubby hole and put it back at night. Maybe 40 or them in the big wall unit.
I remember one time I was new to that company and the company foreman, Cal Smith, lent me his Power mac 6 in a tree as I was out of gas, and I ended up dropping it, prob got caught in a kerf thinking back. It bounded down a hill and chased him, almost hitting him. He was fuming, but I wasn't someone you wanted to jump in their sheeat. I brought him two parts PM 6's the next day I had and we were good as gold from then on.
One time we went out in the Head boats off the coast of NJ. One guy, the crane op, hooked a 8 to 10 foot shark and mate agreed to pull him up on deck as the guy wanted to put him on his station wagon and take him home with him. We, maybe 6 of us, were drunk as skunks. By morning after sobering up and the mate smacking the shark all night with his club, the guy no longer wanted to take the big stinking fish home on his roof. The mate kicked him out the gate into the ocean, and he just swam away like nothing happened (5 or 6 hours later). One tough animal.
Sorry to digress.:chatter:
i want a mac mini and a super 2, i am also after a stihl 010V or the 011av and the 020av
this M.Green-SVTS gave me a damn negative for stating my thoughts on using the top handle with one hand. Man that is a great way to get my first negative, giving an honest response to a question on here. Oh well doesnt mean a thing anyways. I hope this is a differant M.Green from Maine then the M.Green that posted in here admitting he cuts one handed at times.
So again it was M.Green-SVTS that gave me the negative for nothing so...
Maybe I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but why would they make a saw with only room for one hand on it, that was perfectly designed to cut one handed, allowing the use of your other hand to hold, throw or push what your cutting, that allowed you to reach out and cut a branch that otherwise would be outside your reach. I have been useing saws all my life, in a tree or on the ground their an extension of my arms. It wasn't tell I learned to use a computer that I found out I'm doing it all wrong and unsafe. I wonder how I survived these last 30 years?

My very first laddder experience was terrible. It was after an ice storm and my boss sent me up the ladder to cut a limb hanging over a den. I had a rope through a crotch at the top of the tree and a man at the bottom. (I was green (about 6 months green) and my boss told us what to do. so I climb the ladder, get up to the top, signal to the other ground man. And started to make my cut. Here are the mistakes.
1) It was a poplar frozen.
2) had glair ice
3) the groundman at that time didn't have his dose of pills that day and wasn't level headed at all.
4) my boss put no thought in where the spread from the limb was going to go.
I cut the limb and about half way through it snapped. the ground man held the limb like he was supposed to but the spread swung down and hit the ladder and sent me flying. Broke my pelvis and my wrist. Was getting paid under the table so workmans comp couldn't give me anything. I was out for weeks with no income
