Hi fellas, I am a newbie here, haven't cut wood for 15 years, now i am back at it again my son just bought some property 30 acres 20 is Fir and Oak, I only burn 3 cords a year, use to be 7-8 in the 80,s and early 90,s I owned Johnsreds, Huskys, and a 488 shindaiwa, a real good friend of mine, I played HS football with , owned and sold saws, so he gave me a very good deal every other year, so i used the best. I Just bought a Makita ea6100 great little saw, I have noticed that the bar oils dont adhere to the bars like they use to unless you crank the adjustment screw all the way out so i use a trick a friend told me about who made a living in the timber world, back in the early 80,s. I use 1 pint of STP to a gallon of bar oil, it now holds to my bar excellent.it did back then and it does now. just thought I would throw this tip out , maybe some of you already do it, I have not seen anyone in here yet that has. Lord Bless.
