VEGETABLE OIL FOR LUBRICATING CHAIN SAWS
-
And cheap Canard Du Confit. Those oil prices aren't much more than stateside. I used to buy from the local petro company for $8/gallon(3.8 litres) before I switched to rapeseed.
-
Been using rapeseed for years, in all manner of weather, in saws that sit and saws that work. Never gummed anything up. ALways worked just fine.

I wouldn't quote factory specified weights - they are almost always incorrect. An 034AV(though I have seen one weigh a few ounces less than this one here): 365xt(same weight as a 372xt): The 555 weighs similarly to the 034(but it a much better saw in stock form): I haven't weighed it yet, but our 391 feels as heavy as my 044 does. Judging by the weight of the 460 rancher, I wouldn't be surprised if the 391 weighed the same as a 365xt - which would be a better choice than the 391 in my opinion. You may also want to check what dealers do you have local to you, and what prices are they asking for their saws? Personally, for a home owner that wants to run an 18" bar, I would go with a 261cm and 325 chain and just mod the muffler.

Oops - that's a JOnsered.

I suggest a DOlmar
-
It better - it weighs nearly 3 lbs more.

What is the compression? Small saws can often run up to 225psi or so without detonation on quality fuel.
-
Many of the 'homeowner' saws sold in the US are made by Stihl USA. No duties, and only state and local taxes, which are 1/4-1/2 what they are in the UK. Oregon has no sales tax, and Alaska's amounts to an average of 1.6% sales tax. 3 other states have no sales tax, as well. When the 440 was still sold, a coworker of mine got one in Washington State for the equivalent of less than 500stg at the time out the door.

Get a 261 before the 391. Not a big power difference, less weight, less vibration, longer lasting. And once muffler modded, the thing is a terror.

GOnna try for a bench out of this:

As well as it's 65cc non xt brethren, as I mentioned earlier. I can easily make a 65cc non XT smoke a ported XT. There's just so much more you can do with that cylinder.
-
I saved up one summer to get a Pinarello. That was 20 lbs ago...
-
If you can, get the 365 special and send it to spud. You can make a 365 special run very strong.

Psh, he's a pickled herring-eating viking. He goes commando with a 560 in each hand.

Wow! great pics, guys!

We're currently only removing the larch and spruce blow downs. Afraid I've not much choice for size. Depending on how much the mills give, sometimes it's worth more to turn in to firewood.

Tractor abuse:

Earlier this day on the ranch in Waterford(Tipperary is across the river up ahead).
-
That 420 and the 7900 are the only modern saws I know that have them. Some older McCullochs had loads of ports, though.
