Logging pictures of my father and me

[Rudolf73]

Nice pics,i like the look of your beach trees,no bark,easy to split and soft as butter to cut,you probably dont own a chain file.

Yeah, I cut quite a lot of "European" trees in the past few weeks and they are great - only sharpen your chain maybe once a day instead of every couple of cuts lol.

Interesting fuel oil container never seen that before ?

Yes, please tell more.

I promise I will tattoo a Big orange 'H' logo on my nut sack if there is a primer bulb on the MS261.

thankfully there isn't!

LOL! I'm a big Stihl guy but a tatoo on me balls isn't going to happen. The only model I've seen so far with the primer bulb is the C-BE. The standard version seems to lack one, thank God. Primer bulbs just scream "cheap" imo. Not needed on any of them, even the huskapullon saws.

Ok, I booked the appointment with Big Louie in Chinatown. I'll get the pics up tomorrow.

Although, I will add its only on the c-be junk model. At least Stihl gives you a choice about the crap added on or not!

No such thing as a big "Louie" any where around China Town here. Perhaps a Wong or another permutation. Farther south into the burbs is another story. Plenty of Vinnie's and other gumba monikers to go around. Sorry, I only know Chi town a little bit, only been around it 52 years. (Just joshing with ya!)

It's the Stihl Pro Clear Combi Can. All the sources I've been able to Google are European. If someone knows of U.S. supplier, I'd be happy to get contact info. There's an ebay source from the U.K. for about $40 U.S., but shipping cost to U.S. is not provided (I e-mailed an inquiry) and may be high enough to kill the deal. Sexy as the setup looks, I ain't dropping a C-note for a stinking gas can. We'll see.

OK, I have promised several times to offer these Stihl double fuel cans here. Will have to look for prices and then start an extra thread.

I remember bugging you about those cans a couple years ago. . . Seems to me I figured out they'd be expensive getting them over here.

Of course, if you bought a truckload of them at a discounted price. . . You might do okay.

I hope our Ami friends don't get a heart attack when they see the price of that can...:fart:

I like the styling of that MS-261. Using springs for AV mounts & the air injection filtering system. Did Stihl hire a Husqvarna engineer?

I still guess not - if they did, it would have been better!

 

[SawTroll]

From that video: The new 261 has an Innovative antivibe system???
Innovative definition: advanced, ahead of the times.

That saw actually looks "old school" by now, nothing but old recycled ideas! :greenchainsaw:

I actually started out as a Husky guy when I came here. I bought one Husky saw that Husqvarna sold with a defective carb and would not warranty. So now I own One defective Husqvarna saw and Eight peices of totally problem free Stihl equipment.

Mostly, I am just poking fun though. I would own a 372 or 395 given the chance, but Stihl earned my purchases one at a time by making stuff that doesn't break at cheaper prices than Husky.

Yes the Husky 357's had lots of bad Walbro hd199a-b carbs, did you end up replacing it with the Zama? You can get the replacement Zama's for around $60 either from baileys or $50 from a non sponsor place. If you PM me I'll tell ya who. There's a few good threads here about it, and yes, I'm a fellow 357xp owner -its runs perfect now.

And finished:

 

[Guido Salvage]

I've never seen a plastic handle wear out from normal use but those bulbs sure as heck do

Just picked up a MS250 that had a broken handle (and now has no spark....).

 

[traktorist2222]

Some pictures I have taken three weeks ago when we made some logging!

Wood price is very good at the moment, for near 7 m³ we got almost 600 Euro!

 

[traktorist2222]

After a long time, some news from Germany...

We bought a new tractor and winch!

It is an Italian Same tractor built in 2003. The winch has a cordless steering and is brand new. Here are some pictures of it.

 

[Jacob J.]

That is a very nice tractor, Martin...congratulations. Now hopefully you will get much more work done in the woods.

 

[joesawer]

+1 That is a beautiful tractor!
What is up with the tags on it, do you have to register them to use on the road?
