Saw for new groundy

[Treemon]

I would like to add that you can have the best saw in the world but if you can't sharpen it properly its a complete waste of time and money ..I have seen a vast majority of saw ops who can't sharpen a saw or diagnose what it needs to keep optimum cutting abilities then complain ..

 

How true no one who passes CS 30/31 can sharpen for toffee - what's going on?

I'd spend the extra few quid on heated handles. I didn't, but have wished I did on a few occasions. When you want them, you really want them!

Get a pro stihl or husky without auto tune .. Unless you have loads of experience snedding and felling I would go with a basic stihl or non auto tune husky, untill you get your confidence up and can go ripping it up with a fire snorting 550 or 560 as they need to be ran hard and will not run right unless reved flat out and with a good chain.

 

Not been my experience.

 

My son has very limited experience and has no issues with the 2 550's he's owned (one having been stollen)

I did my CS30/31 a few years back and they made sure I could sharpen correctly on the training and the assessment.

Think its gonna be a husky 560xpg with 15" bar

 

Good call, get an 8 tooth .325 rim sprocket fitted on it too!

More teeth increases the chain speed but lowers torque
