So now that my Stihl MS170 starts...

[pantelis]

Keep going with your ms 170 man, day after day you learn more and more , cut which trees is easy for you , for the others just pay someone who is pro.
dont need to buy a 1500 dollars saw just for once in your life.

 

[expy]

You guys seriously need to fill me in on this BA shenanigans? Is he some kind of troll?

Put the 170 down. Brush the wood chips off your body. Walk into your house. Make your way into the bathroom. Look into the mirror and introduce yourself to BA.

that tree is not going to fall the way you want with out pulling it. big open face, leave a thicker than normal hinge and then pull it the rest of the way down.
you need some basic fundamental instruction, i recommend Dent's book. just use the basic cuts, forget the fancy swing cuts as your no where near ready for those. the big thing here is that you have no clue how to read a tree, and thats not some thing we can tell you how to do on the internet.

Yah, I think roping is the way to go. Its just the angle of the rope that is gonna be a pain. It is going to be lifting the back of the truck so I will lose traction. I will need lots more rope to get a better angle.

Go in reverse!

You. I haven't really followed the legend but he/you seem to be famous here at Arborsite for shaking things up a bit. You/he kind of calls us out for taking ourselves to seriously and you/he can put a humorous spin on things. Hopefully it stays light hearted and nobody gets upset after they find out they have taken time to give serious advice too you/he. I'm a fan but everything has its limits. This info is for the confused AS member because of course you know who you are, the one, the only, jokester of Arborsite "BA"!

Odd huh?

Odd huh?

That's why I told him to take a writing course in another 170 thread.
Like a comedian who steals a joke, gets a laugh once, and can't figure why folks don't keep laughing.
He needs to get new material.
But then again. It's beyond him.
He doesn't know how dim he is making himself look.
BA is well.....a BA.

But he is not Brush Ape why all of you dont understand this

He is a Stupid Brush Ape

 

[Big_Wood]

LOL BA is at it again. if MSWS is real i'm not surprised. homeowners with saws scare the hell out of me. there's actually alot of guys who "know what they're doing" that scare the hell out of me. i know dealers need to sell to whoever they can but there really should be a chainsaw essentials course in this world. then again, it could be a population decreaser selling saws to homeowners.

If this is a legit posting, make sure your life insurance is paid up and your wife knows where all your bank accounts are hidden.

No, I watched the Stihl video on starting, which left out a critical part.
