Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

Here's a picture of the chain. Something stamped on it, but not Stihl? Also, all the holes in the DL looks funny?

Sorry mate, that looks suspect.

Looks suspect to me also. I tried to blow it up on the 'puter but gets to blurry to read.
Edit. What size/DL do you need?

3/8 Pitch, 0.063 Gauge, 72 DL

I forgot to mention, I did send a message to the seller yesterday asking them to explain the discrepancy, but I've yet to hear from them. Could be they are a M-F business and don't respond until Monday, or that they are pushing an off brand and won't respond.

I have a semi chisel 91 dl .063 you can have for shipping. I can cut it back to 72 DL if you don’t have a way.

Morning guys.

We’ve received some much needed rain. Not a lot if measured but several soakings over the past three days to knock down the dust and reduce fire risk.

The big fire 60 miles away is holding even around 26,000 acres. I read 12 primary structures and 59 secondary structures were lost so far. I know the firefighters saved a number of buildings within the burn zone.

What are you doing with a wildfire in Minnie Soda? I thought that was a west coast thing, is that the only one? I hope they get it under control.

Anyone ever tried this chain?https://www.ebay.com/itm/293760998003
Thinking about getting some for my 550.

There've been a few threads on it, one on opeforum.
@Czed has ran it a bunch, I think he likes it, I've never ran it that I'm aware of.

Speaking of running saws, ran this nasty thing yesterday , seemed appropriate to run it in a nasty tree .

I haven't done much felling with a 462, the sights seemed a bit off, maybe it was all the white on the saw distracted me. After the second notch adjustment I was happy with it, went right where I wanted it .

Thanks.
Sthils like being dirty.
Nice job!

Well, it's dirty! I flush cut the stump after grading which made the soil turn to dust as it was very dry under it, I was a mess myself too, had to clean off a bit with the hose(the pitch was a whole different story .

That's a 3/8 picco chain, probably just a stock photo.
Do you have a link for the ad.

Meanwhile, somewhere in West Michigan .
Since no-one wants pine, spruce, or whatever these trees are that cause chimneys to get creosol and burn houses down , burned the whole tree!
There's also a good sized root ball on top from one that came down a few yrs ago.
For size reference the butt log in the middle is around 16-18, and the flush cut and the rest of the logs are in there too.
Only burned a few leaves off the mulberry.

 

[chipper1]

Picked this beauty up in trade a month or so back. Sure dig saws with heated handles.

Congrats, that's a sweet saw.
Useable power wise I don't think husky caught up with that saw until the 562.

All this talk about saw chain . . . for years I've been buying Woodland Pro chain from Bailey's supply. Very reasonable price, and they often do 10 loops for $100, which is when I generally buy. I've had enough chain on the shelf for a couple years now (been cutting less, trying to retire), so can't say what the prices are now. Usually I get chain and several other items (files, sprockets, Wild Ass jeans, etc.) on the same order, so shipping isn't too bad.

We are saying goodby to our long time fire chief - volunteer firefighgters for a rural district. Chief for 40 years died yesterday pulling hose on a fire. Heart attack by the sounds of the report. He was well liked and ran a good shop.

Sorry. Counterfeit. Happens a lot. If eBay or Amazon, or if you paid with a credit card, file a complaint. They may let you keep it for free. Otherwise, run it.

Did NOT buy it yet. Something smelled fishy (and not in a good way).

Aftermarket chain according to description, with four people satisfied with the transaction. No mention if they liked the chain or not.

What a waste of good pine. Damn shame.

Come to Michigan, unmeasurable quantities of that kinda' **** gets pushed into burn piles and shoved into the chipper on a daily basis. Most outfits would tell you to take whatever you want.
