Stihlmans Wood,Tree cutting ramblings...........

Sawzilla is home after rebuild by Mitch,new piston & cylinder after a snagged ring.
Be warned,ask your builder to clean the saw to a reasonable condition before shipping,Australian Customs made me pay for a fee for cleaning of the saw before release from them.The words were de contaminate,fumigate goods of oil and sawdust residue from another country.

they should have seen mine, i thought a bit crap was a good thing to prove it was second hand

(i don't mean randy sent me a filthy saw it had a small amount of dust and a drible of oil in the tank)

Reminds me of the speed light cameras in this country. Politicians say its to save lives not raise funds.......



We'll try a sprinkle of dirt and oil next time?

Sweet now you can do a video on some saws for us

And yes customs don't like organic matter on chainsaws and stuff.

i was lucky.

i did think about it when it got here after watching all them customs tv shows

That saw box has been from the US to here,back to the US and then back to here again,should have frequent flyer points on it.

Ya dont stress Mitch.
They said there was excessive contaminates of oil,sawdust in clutch cover and clutch area for there liking.
I think the key points to keep Customs happy are (that is if they open it up)
No fuel or bar oil in tanks (just the smell is enough to pass the used saw )
Put something over felling spikes so they don't puncher the box.
No excessive oil leaks from chain oil outlet )put a rag,absorbent paper between saw and clutch cover)
A bit of saw dust is fine as long as it is not excessive.

Videos,the plan is to run the following ported saws.
441RC Sawzilla (re built by Mitch to original specs)
441RC Snellerized
441RC Mitch's
461R Mitch's
All with the same 20'' bar & chain
Then again with a 25'' bar & chain
May even put a ported 660 in there just because i can.

For me the above is a little pointless its not all about who can build the quickest cooky cutting woods ported saw,its about reliability,efficiency and down right useability that gets the job done with the least effort.
This may take a bit of time i wont to get some fuel throw the new saws to make it a fairer shoot out.(haven't got Mitch's version build 441RC yet)

Case in point Andrew is where my little 241 ended up with 10% more trees down at the end of the day compared to my 550.
There is no way in hell the 241 would get anywhere near the 550 in a cookie cutting race yet the proof is in the pudding in a real world scenario

Agreed and the same can be said for a torquey saw and high speed cookie cutter.

It will be interesting to see this video!!!

I believe the 441 Brad did for you, should be identical to mine.... Not sure if timing has been played with on your saw.

 

[Stihlman441]

Put a couple of tanks throw the re build Sawzilla today,cutting some Stringbark and all is well.

 

[Stihlman441]

A quick vid on its second tank,this was the crotch part of a Stringbark and this chain is about to be retired but ya get the idear.

You out poaching wood from state forests Andrew? I'm used to you cutting down windbreaks and stuff.

How's Sawzilla anyway? Back to his old self again?

 

[Stihlman441]

Ya Matt this Stringy is from a domestic wood coupe down at Forrest long way to go for a bit of Stringy but felt like a day out cutting something different.Know that there is no permits required for the wood couple alot of them ant open any longer because the DSE get nothing out of it ,they don't give a sh_t about people looking for some fire wood,but in the end people will just poach were ever they can get away with it.
Yep Sawzilla back doing what it does best.:smile2:
