  1. orrrr if you can get a really good nick old 044 or the later MS440 that would be good, they are great saws to! i dunno if i would trust one of the new MS441's to many fancy gadgets to go wrong imo
  2. finally been having a go with 2 of them recently, one running a 25" bar and one a 18" bar, amazing saws, my next saw for sure
  3. Ms460
  4. hmmm that sounds good
  5. i've been thinking about camping, not sure yet
  6. fell a tree on the forwarder the other week, was only oak and cherry first thinnings so it was fineeeee,
  7. ahaha very true! my dolmar 166 is up there to so much torque
  8. think you've all seen this, but what the hey
  9. depends what your doing, if your knocking over old growth redwoods all day then your 088 is your everyday use saw haha we use 361's and 440's everyday, we know people who use 460's all day, so above that is what i class as a big saw, so 660 +
  10. no i havent... i was on about stihl chain i have never been impressed by it, so always use oregon, dont know many people that use stihl chain round ere
  11. alsooooooo was talking to an old time timber faller and he said stihl used to make a bar that lasted for literally ever! they stopped making them because apparently they were to strong, so people werent replacing them as often, so they werent making as much money as they could... well thats the story i heard ahhaha
  12. i've noticed this to, bought my granddad a 20" oregon bar for his 440 a while back and it has certainly worn quicker than the old stihl one that was on there
  13. went out last night and forgot to look today , i'll get on it as soon as i get chance
  14. why do you want genuine stihl chain? whats wrong with oregon?
  15. just found this one of mine on the puter

  19. cheers man nah wasnt him, one of granddads contractor mates came along and did it and brought his county along too, gramps doesnt really want anything to go wrong with trees like that so its nice and easier to let someone younger do it, especially with two expensive apple orchards either side aha
