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

[Rudolf73]

That 880 is running nice and fat. How do old and new model run next to each other, much difference?

 

[Stihlman441]

Na not much differance,the old model cast muff sounds better i think.
They are hard to tune with the limited coil but fat is good with a 50'' bar anyway.
5 ltrs of fuel doesnt last long with these things.:msp_rolleyes:

 

[deepsouth]

The 461 is doing its thing.

The 461 has horrid taste in beer, in fact I'd be careful as it'll probably never work again and either go on the dole, CDEP or single parent pension.......

:hmm3grin2orange:
But that wouldn't be all bad, then you could get a couple of Swedish supermodels.....

hay andrew good work mate with i had that much wood hahaha
do you run .404 or 3/8 on the 880s ???

 

[Stihlman441]

Whats wrong with VB (Vegies and Beef) its a bit hard to get a feed out in the paddock so this is the next best thing.
Got to keep ya fluids up on the big jobs.:redface:

3/8 Carlton semi chisel skip.

3/8 Carlton semi chisel skip.

how does it go to .404 ive been thinking of doing the switch

 

[Stihlman441]

Couldnt say have never had much to do with .404 Matt and Darren use it a lot.

 

[MCW]

The big saws will pull .404" along fine and it will wear a sh*tload better than 3/8". In cleaner stuff though I still swap back to 3/8" and it takes less HP to pull plus these fuel guzzlers use less juice - like $20 an hour less. Or sumfin like that. The .404" cutters and chassis is a lot more hard core than 3/8" and will take a lot more abuse.
For anybody who has never run the 120cc class saws then the fuel usage is insane.

10L will probably give you 2-3 hours in the 880 if you're working it hard. At the most

The 3120 and 880 are like the old pushrod 454 Chev/460 Ford big blocks of the chainsaw world. Heaps of grunt but with 1950's technology.

Let me re-frame that for you, what's right with VB ?

Answers on the back of a postage stamp please, although that may still be too much space

















Only joshing with ya mate, you can drink whatever you damn well please if you run an 880

Sickening Andrew, absolutely sickening...

I mean if a young lad doesn't want to throw an 880 or 3120 around all day just for fun then the country is more rooted than I thought...
