Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[djg james]

I googled "Stihl 460 Specs" and I got this:

FS 460 C-EM Specifications - Professional Use
DISPLACEMENT	45.6 cc (2.8 cu. in.)

I had the wrong saw.

Thanks

Numbers have been changed and re used so many times (by several companies) that it gets very confusing. Sometimes, a Stihl and Husky will have the same # but be completely different size saws!

The MS 460 was one (if not the) most common Stihl professional saws in use, and many are still in use (MS 440s are becoming very hard to find).

I may put my 441CM up for sale. I finished the willow grove I was clear cutting and so far have done nothing about finding a new one. I'll see how the year goes without doing any serious cutting.

All you need is a 550xp mk2. Tried my new one out today. Posting on many threads to show I finally did something. Many oak wilt trees to remove.

Cut to proper width and hope to try out the mill this weekend. I am amazed at how well the ported 385 did with a 36 inch bar. Actually I’m impressed with it.

Free hand cut? If so pretty good. Red Oak?

You referring to the Husky above? I a fan of the 'other' brand mainly because I already have a 20" and 24" bars and chains.

Bar mount slot spacers are cheap. I guess it depends on if the chain gauges are the same.

Yes. FS refers to trimmers and clearing saws not chainsaws.

Well, got a couple coats of green on the hay wagon dump frame. This time I put it across another trailer so the boss could get her baby back in the garage. Happy car, Happy wife, Happy life, and I'd like to keep it that way!

Sure is easier to get a couple loads in when it's not 90°+ outside.

Wow, those trees look virtually identical!

 

[Deleted member 117362]

It is the same tree. I just have more to cut, split and stacked. Just wanted to show that I do work, just slow. Show off that small new saw also.

 

[Cowboy254]

It is the same tree.

Yes, that was my little joke. That said, I'm going to start posting repeat photos of my scrounges so that it looks like I've been doing more...

I totally agree, who wants to see the same tree. I will stop posting, so I no longer upset you. Carry on, I am out.

I was just thinking that you're not holding up the southern hemisphere for winter wood cutting. LOL

Easy tiger, I wasn't having a go at you. It was a reference to my not having picked up a saw for more than a month. The written word can be a blunt instrument sometimes.

Exactly.
