I hope to stay that way for a few more years. Ron

It's once you get a good clobbering you'll learn not to get complacent and lazy.

Skeans & Co., thanks for the tips. The more I think about what I did the more foolish I feel. I cut so few trees and have all the time in the world to do them; I should be more careful and observant. Ron

Hey I'm young and still learning it's just something I learned cutting cedar it's soft so it's a something I've learned to do.

Anybody who is still interested in learning is OK in my book. Anybody who already knows it all and has nothing left to learn can take a walk. That goes for everything in life, not just cutting trees. That also includes me -- if I ever refuse to learn from somebody with more experience than me, I hope that I shrivel up and blow away, long before I fail to listen to somebody else's info that could save my life or just make mine easier. I expect y'all to feel free to ride herd on me for that statement. I tell my crews that every year and I'd estimate that I've learned at least twice as much from them over the years as they have from me.

The problem arises when you know whats really going on and some other whinge waffle wants to tell you what he thinks is correct, then said whinge waffle ****s up good and big...

Due diligence, yo. Gotta at least try to educate the fools.

This old fool has a lot to learn. I was cleaning up the broken pine branches today at the crime scene and noticed through an opening in the nearby chicken coop a spoked wheel. I stuck my arm through and came back with this photo of a barn find. Made me think a little more about what might have been lost if those limbs were longer, or the snag taller, than I thought. I listen to you guys because good happenstances although they occur can't be depended upon. Ron

Don't let the boys in the chainsaw forum see that picture as many over there think that your saw can't handle anything over an 18" bar. Nice picture btw. Ron

When I loaded up the crummy this morning I was thinking... I shouldn't need the 066 these cedars aren't all that big...

For scale thats a 461 and a 32" Bar

Got to love butt swollen cedar and itching all day from them as well

My 362 has a 28" stihl light bar (full skip). Its wore that bar since I bought the saw a year ago. Have had no issues yet. Oils just fine. The saw now has a 3/4 wrap handle on it and redwood felling dawgs.
This week I went in to buy a saw at our local dealer, they had two 461s in stock with 36" light bars and high flo air filters + dual port mufflers. Price was $1250 each. I was. standing there contemplating whether I wanted one then I turned around and noticed a new 661c on the shelf . All stock with 36" light bar for the same price as the 461s!! I was like 'screw this! I want that one right there! lol'
I've only ran a tank of gas through it but I'm well pleased with my purchase. The AV is as good as my 362c and so far seems very fuel efficient for a 90cc class saw. I can't wait to drop some hoot dogs with it.

This one didn't have much for swell, nice taper to about 40' where she split all to hell and madusa'd, bucked it at 36 and it was still around 30" maybe a little more. got two 26's out of the tops,and almost another 16'

It's neighbor is bigger... Passed on it this morning since its much bigger and has a spur on one side... needed to clear everything on that side first.

It never fails they either break or bounce all over and the butt is way in the air. Sounds like it's time for a 42 here soon.

The little 562xpw will oil a 32 just finished it's the firewood guys that freak out over a 1/4" bar they think it won't work or handle it.

Buddy of mine his big saw is an ms 260 sporting a 28" bar... Granted he's not logging or anything, but I've seen him fall some decent timber with it.

 

[rwoods]

Not a logger but I have used 25" bars on 60cc Stihls for about 15 years. I have two non-Mtronic 362s which I think are fine saws. Every now and then, the hobbyists' complaints are right though. I never understood all the fussing about flippy caps and oilers as my 362s don't leak and my saws oils well, but I understand a little better now. My new to me 361 leaks fuel on your leg and despite maxing the oiler, it only puts out a half of tank of oil to one tank of fuel. I guess I'll be digging through the chainsaw threads to find my remedies.
