Heck of a job. That looks really nice!
I am a husky guy through and through, but I think the MTronic saw I owned adjusted much better than the two autotune saws I owned.That thread was full of a lot of silliness. I think there have been a couple of 400 hate threads now...key points to be taken from them: power/weight don't matter in production cutting, all 400s are slow because one had carb issues, and M-tronic is little-understood dark art wizardry.
How about Mike from Maine… I believe he used to troll Stihl with fake bad reviews
Yup. Lye and metal are inert to each otherThe clog was most likely plugging the leak
Looks familiar
. Mark brought it up for me to flush cut some big spruce stumps, after a few cuts I realized the 500i was faster and about 15 lbs lighter, lol. I gave it back to him and just used the 500i. Looks like it should run better now.Attachments
That’s cool, my grandma had some sort of concrete Mary in her backyard when I was young.supper scrounge items included two crucifix's.... gave one to neighbor, will hang up the other. also, this very nice, very heavy statue of Mother Mary. robe to be blue. and up at ranch, new spot i will call The Grotto. has a peacefull sense about it when i am near it!

Happy Resurrection Day! Saw a video today at church. An atheist was asking for a special day to celebrate atheism. We thot Aprils Fools day would work.
Oddly enough my wife is an atheist, and even she wouldn't say anything that stupid. Now she will try to refute everything I believe is true, but never asks for a day of celebrating not believing on God or Jesus.Happy Resurrection Day! Saw a video today at church.

Thanks. Working on stuff built 155 years ago by guys with no fancy tools is a job. All the bolts, nuts and washers on the hinges as well as the hinges were all handmade.
Geez, going up still. Last time I checked, about a year ago, I recall $1400 something.
Things looking up with the 400. I have trouble pulling hard enough to get that last compression and that causes lots of pulling before it starts. On my third tank of gas today and it only needed 4 pulls cold and the last two warm starts were 1pull each.
Life goes on and there so does aging. My strength seems to failing a bit and I was eyeballing where I am cutting. I have two buddies we work well together. When I bought the 400, I gave one of them my well used MS362 (bought as a replacement for my old MS310 so it has eaten a lot of trees) as a 'community saw' to be shared. I realized I don't see anything where I am working that will require over a 28" bar and the 400 will handle. No need for the MS441 anyore so I am giving it to the second buddy on same condition. I know he has been looking for a saw in that size range.

Came out great
Now I'm hungry......
Glad you're getting the hang of the 400 and good on you for letting your buddies getting to run you old saws. Sooner or later I'm not going to be able to run run my bigger saws and I'm planning on handing them over to some of the young bucks.
Didn’t show it cut
