What saw would YOU buy for stumping with a 36" bar?

[STIHLTHEDEERE]

Anyone else notice how STD made a point to make sure that we knew he sold it at 9 PM, 3 1/2 after I asked about it, with no reply? That's ok, I probably would have passed on it anyway. All from a guy trying to smear mud on me. Ok, let the flaming begin

sorry, i have a life,i do not wait be the computer to respond to posts. 9:00 pm was when the paypal tranaction went through, therefor when the saw was sold. so what category does this put you in??????????

Breakfast?? I thought it was your turn to cook. I'll take a couple eggs, 3 pieces livermush, hashbrowns-hold the onions, 2 biscuits/w butter, and enough gravy to cover it all. Let me know when it's ready.

Bob Evans anyone?

Bob Evans?? Haven't been to one of those. How about some toast and some of my dad's GI gravy. He makes it better than what I got in the Army. Humm, wonder what the parents are doing for supper?

After asking for the same advice on another thread i bought a new 660 and put
a 32 in bar on it with stihl semi-chisel chain, i am very satisfied so far but i would
like to get the saw souped up, just don't have the money right now, i think i am
going to switch over to full chisel chain, got a good price on it at local saw shop.

Keeping the chain sharp is quite a chore, seems like i only get 2-3 stumps done
before chain needs sharpened, probably because i am lousy at filing chain but
getting better, thinking about getting the timberline sharpener as i could use it
in the field, my choice was between the 390xp and the 660, i went with stihl
mainly because all my other equip is stihl, its a great stumping saw imho..

Depending on the conditions you cut in, you may be real lucky to get 2-3 stumps cut before you have to sharpen a full chisel chain.
I personally haven't had the problems keeping full chisel chain sharp that some here claim when I cut in this local area, but I did experience it once cutting with a buddy of mine in Michigan.
Kentucky has a very heavy clay soil and the trees in Michigan where he lived were full of sand.
Good luck.

Yea thats bout right,. I use full chisel stumping and have pretty good luck with it. Cutting stumps low enough to clear the bottom strand of a fence is a challenge in itself. The challenge is'nt so much making the cut, but keeping the chain out of the dirt while doing it. :msp_tongue:

The single tree stummps are the easiest ot cut low. It's these two and three trees growing from the same stump that gets you. I guess as they grow together they draw the dirt up into the stump. They'll get a chain every time. I hate to see that dirt hit my pants leg. Even worse is cutting into one that throws stinky water everywhere. Wild Cherry is notorious for it.

not a chance, he likes old school muscle, this will actually be a fairly new saw for him. i sold him a like new,super low hour 056 mag-2 and an 076 super as well.

[Trx250r180]

you got a husky ? you bump yer head or domething :msp_wink: ,whens the 395 thread start ,dont know much about this model yet

 

[blsnelling]

I believe this completes my course in "traitorship". My 3-saw plan is now all Husky. 346, 372, 395, with the 390 becoming a dedicated Cookie Monster. My only Stihl worksaw now is my 440/460 hybrid, but it's not going anywhere! This has been a long, slow conversion, but there's no denying the ability of these particular saws. Of course, the same could be said of the 261, 460, and 660.
