Stihlmans Wood,Tree cutting ramblings...........

[Stihlman441]

Sh_t no mate im not complaining about the Carlton chain at all,but when you have to sharpen every tank of fuel nothing will last long in this wood anyway.
I have been using the ported 461 with a 25'' bar and 8 pin in the larger stuff and im very impressed with the balls of this saw,definitely a keeper in my book.But when ya spill ya beer at the end of the day because of the vibes is not a good thing and ya have to clean filters every night as well but that is the price ya pay for cutting this stuff that anybody else cant or wont.

Should have bought a Husky Except you'd be having to clean your filter 15 times a day and oil it to boot...

but that is the price ya pay for cutting this stuff that anybody else cant or wont.

In our area it's because they can't cut it. An MS310 with an 18" bar is a big saw in our area

It's actually not as big of a tree as people think. Andrew is only 5'2" and a slim 60kg.

Well Brad said they don't run like a 460. oke:

You already have an awesome 79cc saw that the 461 couldn't hold a candle to.








I know, I said I was going back outside to keep digging trenches 10 minutes ago......:yoyo:

Funny thing is he is building 461s for people a.:msp_smile:

Though not my favorite Stihl to use......the 461 has the widest torque band I've seen in any saw. :msp_thumbup:

Have been doing afew loads of Redgum.

This one was a bit tricky didnt have much solid wood only a ring about 3'' thick around the outsite,so cut a little and gave it a push.

So is that Redgum a Eucalyptus or is it something else entirely? I googled it and got Eucalyptus camaldulensis

Hey, I resemble that remark!

 

[Stihlman441]

The little fella is home again.:msp_smile:

 

[Stihlman441]

Looks like the big trip has done him good,ran him for a bit today and ya he is a lot better off the line as in throttle response.

Yeah Redgum is a Eucalyptus. River Redgum is the common name. Beautiful wood but the dust when cutting it dry really gets into everything. You need seriously good filters to keep it out of your saw and the only factory filters I've seen keep the dust out is the Dolmar HD and Stihl HD2. Without filter oil the dust will go straight through a normal flocked filter like on the Huskys, Jonsereds etc etc

Looking forward to seeing how you like this after Randy worked his magic. Would like to hear your thoughts on this compared to your 261 once you have some more time with it.
