I just found a few hedge across the street from the feed store, not sure if it's there property or not. I only know of 3 spots with around 10 trees each within 20min of here, I've never burnt it, at least not knowingly lol.Used some of last weeks scrounge from my buddy seasoned hedge apple and black locust. I crammed that stove full of 3 inch diameter pieces i hope it doesn't burn a hole in my firebox.
Was the firebox alright . between the two and small pieces I'm sure it was blazing hot.
Depends if you're talking about saws or what the wife wants picked up from the store .does XP mean Xtra Potatoes?
Don't make me post stihl muffler picturesXtra parts. Mainly screws.
Better keep those filters clean then .spring av saws just don't tickle my fancy like a good rubber mount saw.
When the 361 came on the scene stihl had something great, then the 241 was another great saw, then the 462 blew it out of the park. I talk a lot of crap, but how's someone gonna argue with a 70cc saw that's that light, it's a fun saw for sure(just don't tell any of my husky friends I said that lol). The 440 was a strong 20/24" saw and the 460/461 is a torquey 24/28 saw, but I'd rather have the spring av myself. The filters get so dirty on those stihls it amazes me how long they last, the 460/461 is especially durable, I hope the 462's are just as long lasting. Funny you say that about not flooding them, I believe that is one of the biggest problems guys had with the autotune saws when they came out; you can easily miss the pop if you're not paying very close attention, many times you hear nothing, but you can feel the cord pull out of the saw a bit easier.Not much not to like about them. The weight of a 60 cc saw, power rated the same as 77 cc saws (and they exceed that amount on the dyno), (plus they get a good deal stronger with breakin), instant throttle response, spring AV, clean air filter tech and M Tronic! Just don't flood it, and you'll be fine!
The only knock on it is that it may not balance long bars as well as some heavier powerheads of the same displacement/power. So, I recommend putting a light bar on it. Mine have 20" and 24" bars on them and they are my "go to" saws. Mine are also both ported, so they are little beasts!
Got a bunch of the mess cleaned up by the root balls, when they went down they smashed a pile of 4x8x2" insulation along with a window sash(with the glass in it ), they are now mostly 2'x8'. I brought out my ported 2166 with an 18" to cut the stem off the top of the insulation, I wanted something I wasn't going to pinch up and that was nice and rigid, it worked great. Then I remembered my 365 special was under the tarp by the bonfire pit . I ran a tank thru the 365, she's a great runner with a muffler mod, slight timing advance, and a base gasket delete, pullet the 24 nice for 65cc.
Not sure what I'll run in it tomorrow, it's nice getting some saw time though.
The "blade" is a little short for this log, unless you go over top a little first, I like to cut them like I'm cutting cookies lol.
The insulation was frozen to the bark, what a mess. Hopefully next week when it's warmer it will thaw out so I can clean it all up, if not the good thing is the bark will all fall off when the wood is ready, I just don't want to buck it up and have a million pieces of insulation everywhere including on me .
Oh, does anyone know what kind of wood all this is.
