Nobody said a chainsaw cannot do it- most said or implied it was not the ideal tool to be doing it with. If you are happy doing what you are doing and making dirty sawdust- carry on doing it, a good sharp saw chain on a bar (not a blade) will throw chips not dirty dust.

Plus a larger- longer lasting cutter! I think, (along with uniformity and commonality as you say with other saws) is saws have changed from torque makers to chain speed reliers, greater than 70cc saws have changed from the good old days of 051, 076 and 480CD 2100CD type saws and suit 3/8" on...

Seems to me, when I started using saws way back last century, .404 chain was fairly popular over here. Nowadays it seems to be headed the way of 1/4" pitch chain, getting harder to find from suppliers and harder to find bars/tips suited for it. I myself, used to use a lot of it (and on hardnosed...

Personally- I would be asking questions of the HIPA chains you are running and if they are anywhere up to spec on the drivers. When everything is correct- chain suited to a good condition bar- the drivers literally self clean the groove in the guide bar. So, by your photographic evidence I...

If you had to rune the H igh circuit a full turn over normal 1 out, there is a very good chance you are tuning out an air leak and the saw will be dead in a few tanks of gas.

ANY chainsaw- for cutting tree roots in the ground is not the ideal tool for the job, chain speed alone means a 1/2 second ground contact has dulled most all the teeth of the cutters instantly. Hydraulic shears would be much better suited for small trenching.

Do you own a 661 already? Think about what costs are involved to mill one trunk? $2K for a suitable saw, near the same for huge bar and chains, price of the mill with winch and possibly helper handle- certainly auxiliary oiler....... Then see who has a portable mill in your area for hire. If you...

Not that familiar with the model- but with most purge valves- one line comes from the carb to the valve, the other is a return to tank. Is the actual tank vent not a small fibre filled plastic doohaddy situated somewhere near the top of the tank filler cap? Try a search for an Echo CS 345 IPL...

Ah, so you are a blowin then?

Drunk or sober- if you can pick up half of what a deep Southern Irish man is saying- you are doing well!

Same fuel, same oil, same ratio for all. AS LONG as all saws are tuned for that mix. One fuel for all means one container, less confusion, less risk and less chance of multiple fuel mixes going stale in multiple cans.

No time for me is 3 days- a week at the outside- they are talking 3 months until I get to no splint support.

Part of the country I will admit having not spent enough time in- maybe the next trip. On the last I concentrated more on the South and Cork area- could have done with an interpreter! :D

They fibbed- stitches out....... But not into a brace- but a full glass cast.

Welcome. What part of the wee island do you call home? Have spent a fair bit of time over there after a 19,000 km trip.

Could be fuel related- but perhaps more likely an air leak. Could be in fuel lines intake side of the system, which only open and become a problem when the saw is used in that attitude, or it could be a crankcase leak around bearing caps or a loose bottom pan. Take it back to the shop- you took...

Down time? Whats that? As well as everyone wanting hedges and trees done before Spring growth and the fact I Winter and calve 640 dairy cows.......

Result of an argument with some glass, some missed diagnosis, subsequent partial tendon damage becoming severed tendons and the surgical repairs. Plaster cast comes off in a few days, stitches come out, brace goes on and no chainsaw use for at least another couple of months- no lifting over 10kg...

As with most things in life- you get what you pay for. Yes Stihl parts are DEAR- but they are usually also the best quality. Oregon used to make some nice clutch kits for most popular saws and that would perhaps be the next step down or similar to OEM quality. Cheap Asian clutches are usually...
