Quote HistoryQuoted: Question bump, cause I'm not sure. You should be able to get a 50 bar and chain, 63 might be a bit too much bite for the 025. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Is a .43 gauge picco bar too small for my Stihl 025? Was looking for a 16” .50 narrow kerf set up to replace my 18” .63 rollomatic, but it seems maybe the .43 size is more common? I have a Makita 6100 so just trying to upgrade my little saw a bit Question bump, cause I'm not sure. You should be able to get a 50 bar and chain, 63 might be a bit too much bite for the 025. I have to go by the dealer next week, I’ll see what they have to say |

I have to go by the dealer next week, I’ll see what they have to say Red Beard Saws, has many different adapters for the chain saw bars. This way you can buy a Stihl or what ever mount bar that you want and put the adapter kit on and mount it on your Makita/Dolmar saw. I have no first hand experience with said adapters. |

If you're a hacker, why would you target that forum?
  Anyways, I broke down and bought myself a 20-inch Stihl Light guide bar and full-skip chain the other day for the 362; just need a set of WCS 3-point dogs and it'll be right where I want it. |

Helped my father in law take care of a big standing dead red oak this morning and found a surprise inside.
 Almost 10’ of the tree was full of honey bees. Only visible sign of it on the outside was a small hole they flew out of. Luckily it was cool enough they were pretty chill. Family friend has bees and is going over this afternoon to setup a box and see if he can relocate them. |

Bodark aka Osage orange tree.
Old time tree for making bows and war clubs for tribes. Course makes good durable fence post etc too Hard as fucking concrete even when it's green, let it dry a bit and chainsaw chain will throw sparks like flint & steel and its teeth will dull quick. |

Yea....glad it was cold enough for them to be chill. It was a monster of a tree but in mostly good shape. Even with my 32" bar, I still had to cut from both sides of the tree at the stump.....worse part was it had a little back lean....so I spent 20 minutes banging wedges. The hollow area with the bees was about 30' off the ground. |

Bros, I'm not a professional logger/faller/arborist but I certainly dabble like most of us in this here thread. Anyways, I'm thinking about building a belt rig to carry wedges, an axe, and a TQ/IFAK. I hesitate to call this a faller's belt rig but the concept is the same.
Anybody else in here with something similar for doing domestic tree work and processing firewood? Kinda trying to justify it to myself.

Husqvarna... Never again. 445xp. Problems right out the gate, hard starting, chain coming off the bar for no apparent reason. Took it in to be serviced and was told that the oiler had burned up from over working it. Got it back and now with the help of a seasoned chainsaw operator, we've witnessed the chain auto tensioning itself; Im having to loosen the chain when the saw heats up like the chain shrunk. I stop working to let the saw cool, adjust and touch up the chain to have it loose right offer tensioning. Definitely at a loss and the warranty shop I'm not pleased with
The echo 400 treated me a hell of a lot better but considering a Stihl, now that this saw has shown to be a piece of shit with warranty and contact support garbage. |

Didn't usually use wedges at my last house, here there are only a few trees big enough I'd even be able to use one. So when I did, I'd just whack them with whatever, after grabbing them from either the cardboard box I keep my stuff in, or a canvas bag I'd moved them to for easy carrying.
Now I'm more in the position of needing to figure out how to rig up some trees to guide them in a safe direction.  Not really sure other than a throw kit, some rope and tackle. Wesspur seems to have some basic kits for a couple hundred, which seems expensive till I think about repairing my house or fencing. |

I bought one of these a few years ago and put it on the belt of my chainsaw chaps....for the price it works pretty good to carry a couple wedges and keep a scrench handy. I normally keep a few extra wedges in either the SxS or tractor, depending on which I'm using that day. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007SVZJL4?tag=arfcom00-20 I put one of these on the other side of the belt to hold my axe, it's not a great setup but I basically use it to get from the tractor to the tree I'm cutting without needing to carry the axe. I think the pouches that put the axe vertical on your back are likely much better but require a dedicated belt setup and I didn't want to make that type of investment.....so I made the poor mans version. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A3WVWGA?tag=arfcom00-20 I also prefer a smaller axe with a 28" handle, if you run a larger axe this setup wouldn't work unless you're really tall.

I think I'm gonna build a belt rig off a black HSGI rigger's belt I already have; it's got the Cobra buckle and D-ring, and lined with loop. The X suspenders Emdom makes look like they'll work perfectly. Add a Grizzly Peak aluminum wedge keeper and axe scabbard, and an IFAK/TQ, and I'll be ready. I like the idea of using a rigger's belt with the D-ring for doing small climbing jobs where I don't need a full harness. Been meaning to take an old climbing harness I have laying around and cut the legs and tie-in portion away to use as a seat with the rigger's belt. This is the intention behind the Arc'teryx H-15 rigger's belt and seat. I'd only use this style of "harness" for small shit where I can tie in and preload the anchor while standing on a big branch. |

Got involved with a 36-inch laurel oak yesterday afternoon; quite possibly the largest tree I've decked, I think. Made the face-cut a little deep after chasing it a bit too much on the right side. The wedge was SO stubborn and just would not let go no matter what we did. I just laid a new edge on my chain earlier in the week and it was a bit too hungry, and ended up getting pulled off while I worked to get the face-cut opened up. One of the drive-links got a little boogered and wouldn't go back into the bar rails so the 461 with the 28-inch bar was out of action. I fired the 362 up and finished with it and the new 20-inch bar.
You can see where we ended cutting all the holding wood out of the hinge in the middle and all that was left was at the edges. Stupid mistakes but luckily my aim was good and all the bones were on that side, pulling it in the right direction. I didn't really need the wedge but I slotted it anyway for good measure.   |

In the end you got the tree down without damage or injury (excluding the chain) so it was win. I've watched videos of loggers taking down nice veneer trees and they commonly bore out the center of the hinge, similar to what you did, to ensure they don't pull any fiber and lose a few feet of high dollar wood. Next time just say you did it on purpose.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Restoration disassembly was pretty cool, but son I am disappoint at the performance of that beast. I expected it to chew up that log lickety-split, but I'm pretty sure my poor man's MS271 would have beaten it handily. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Bump 1960s 3-Phase Electric Chainsaw - Stihl [Restoration] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ft6EWBQs4f8We used a plug in electric saw when we built my brother's log cabin, Don't remember the details, but if that were the only saw you ran you would look at someone running a big pro saw as inhuman. Nasty, likely due to slow chain speed |

I almost bought another saw the other day, a Jonsered 2165. I've never owned a Jonsered saw, but from what I can tell, they are basically a Husqvarna...and this one is the equivalent of a 365. Not sure what it would do that a Husq 372XP or Stihl 362c couldn't, but I'm a sucker for cheap saws.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I have a 2265 equiv to the 562xp. Bar it uses is the only BIG difference. Great saws. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I almost bought another saw the other day, a Jonsered 2165.

Quote HistoryQuoted: My 20" bar for my MS-362CM is getting pretty beat up. Recommendations for a replacement bar? Something light, affordable and light? And best place to buy? Bailey's is usually my go to sice my local Stihl dealer left the business (RIP Randy!). Thanks! 20-inch Stihl Light. |

I got a 20” Sugihara on mine, because my Stihl dealer was out of light bars. I think I got it from HL Supply. They run a sale about every month or so.
It’s the middle saw.  Attached File |

Anyone a member of the two main chainsaw forums?
I’ve bought a couple of really good saws from their classified's section, but it kind of bugs me when they start off an add: “Perfectly good saw, but a few bolts are missing or missing a top cover and muffler”, or advertising a saw that’s “30 years old or older” or I “have $1000 in this saw”. All for about the price of a new saw with modern technology. I’ve always considered chainsaws as tools, but oh well. Capitalism at its finest. |
