    I’m lying here and thinking what went wrong . I’ve got a finger injury again , maybe my fifth accident in 30 years of tree work. I seem to lose my concentration thinking of the next job or appointment. Stay safe guys. Keep focused on the job in hand.

    i would say the biggest let down of the cs100 is always having sharp blades . having to change them so often.

    the blades on a cs100 have to be sharp otherwise it's pita.

    Buy a big shot ( the head part is all you need ) makes life a lot easier. You can use thicker , stiffer line . ( the cheap stuff ).

    Excellent result. You need patience for them trees , getting the branches out of the crown is a hassle.

    I’ve used this oil ( SynthPlus ) before for my stihl 150 , the stuff is like water and it clogged the clutch like water does as well. The oiling on the 150 is pita , when tanking with chain oil i usually add Aspen to thin it down.
