fascinating.Yep, my 500i w/ a 660 piston. It's a pretty good runner, but I'm going back into it to tweak some stuff once I clear a couple of saws out of the shop.
It’s not the prettiest bird because it was cooked covered the whole time but it was quite tasty. I cook them breast down to keep that part juicy.got one just like it. mine is a wearever. never done a bird in it. how did it turn out? any pix? i have another big enuff for a bird. but same, never done one in it. have a smaller alum, too. my Dad had an alum one he oft used like for Sunday dinner. called it a dutch oven. i bet a lot of birds missing this morning, then again... prob some evidence left over from day before...

Right across the street lol. The add didn't say anything about pay or benefits. I'll check it out, but kinda doubt they are gonna be able to compete with my current pay.@sean donato. Saw this over in your neck of the woods for what it's worth.

Never know when you'll have a bad day, cut a corner and have one come over on the head. Always helps to have a spare set of Wraps laying around!I don't know who this came from, but I found this brand new 372 wrap handle in my locker when I came in to work. My 372 is already a W model, so I guess I have a spare handle. It's kinda cool, people just leave spare saw parts for me.

Sounds bad a**, but if you build it up to much. You'll rob a lot of hours out of that head and be replacing top ends much more often! You probably already know that.

Assuming you mean Stihl ms400....I had a chance to run a friend of mine's 400 yesterday. I must say, I was a bit impressed! More power than I expected!"25" inch .50g bar, full comp 3/8 hand tuned with a round file. Chain was about 90% fresh.
Yeah Roger, MS400. Pretty responsive throttle and good power fir a stock "70cc class" saw! A Cutter could actually use it in a production setting cutt'n a strip of smaller wood!Assuming you mean Stihl ms400....
I really like mine, they're pretty dandy saws imo.
My wife cooks a lot of our meals in the crock pot. Ain't always pretty, but always turns out gooooood!It’s not the prettiest bird because it was cooked covered the whole time but it was quite tasty. I cook them breast down to keep that part juicy.
If you want a pretty bird, pull the cover 45 minutes before it’s done.

Mine came setup with a 20" which was kinda short I thought....but it's such a light power head it's actually really handy with that length bar.Yeah Roger, MS400.

Well, STIHL markets their 500i as a "bigger saw" in their pro saw line up, and put it in the same class as saws with bigger displacement even though it has less. However, they are both in the pro line up. IMOP The 400 and 500 are in two entirely different classes of power. I really couldn't see needing a 500 unless I was running a 28" or 32" bar. I personally feel a 36" is to much for the 500. Yes it will pull it, but how efficiently fir how long in bigger wood?Mine came setup with a 20" which was kinda short I thought....but it's such a light power head it's actually really handy with that length bar.
The 400 has pretty much obsoleted my 372xp for the wood we have here.....
When I first got the Stihl I was cutting a couple acres of sub 20" yellow pine, it was the cat's meow for that application.
I think the 400 is an excellent saw that has been really eclipsed buy all the 500i hype...not that there's anything wrong with the 500....it's just nobody really plays much notice to the 400 because of it.
But a dedicated grapple won't do near as many different jobs as pallet forks/grapple. That's what makes that combo so desirable. So, in the end, that combo tool saves you money and time, not having to change tools for different jobs.
My pallet fork combo has been so versatile, I rarely even take it off the tractor...
