i did get one it to demo but the bloody groundy would not bother with the rake or shovel insted he would spend hours blowing the mess everywhere . i personally hate blowers full stop . they are great if used properly but normally the average groundy will pick it up insted of using the clean up gear and blow the mess to another area .

 

buy a blower and sack the useless groundie, simples. if they dont do as they are told get someone who will:001_cool:

when i worked for the arb agency when i was up in devon they had an 088 with the 64 inch bar (5 Foot) and that was even more tirsty , the saw never left the yard without 2 20 liter jerry cans lol . tbh there was no point in having such a big saw at all its only use was for cross cutting timber . if you tried anythin other than cross cutting then the saw would throw the chain

i will only take the ms880 out on site when i really really need it [/quote

It takes a different technique to fell with larger bars to prevent chain throw. Due to the length of the bars, they tend to bow, and if the saw is horizontal when you throttle up this can flick off the chain. A long bar can also fill the kerf of the cut with saw dust, which will make the chain jam up, so you have to occasionally draw back with the bar to clean out the kerf.

i found with the 5 foot bar you have to genly rest the nose of the bar on the top of the piece of wood your cutting and gently feed the bar and saw in towards the piece of timber . as for felling with it i really can not see any point at all . as you said alot of people dont realise that using a supper size saw is totally diferent to using the likes of the 660 with 30 inch bar . great tips as well andy
