1.5-2m trunk with a 20" bar? I run 18" on a 261, my 20" bar is never used. I tried it on the 461 and 661 and I couldn't see the point. If I'm cutting up to 20" the 261. 21-28" logs the 461 25" Long ago I cut up a 1.2m dbh oak with just a 440 25". Took a loooong time, but almost impossible with a 20" bar. Otherwise very fair points.

What ever you get, put a 25" bar on it. All good 70cc saws should pull it with ease. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Does anyone have a husqvarna large saw instructions manual? Does it have a chain sharpening section anyone could post up? Same goes for echo, maculloch, Oregon or any other brands. [emoji106]

Have a chat with hmrc, Remember they are there to help you. I found them really helpful and relaxed. They can explain a lot. The first 3 years of being SE in the Uk, I only had paper invoice duplicate books. [emoji106] No expenditure receipts.[emoji23] Late tax return fines etc. Forty minute interview with Hmrc accessor and he cleared the lot.[emoji3] I'm so on it now. Yes get an accountant if you have enough turnover. Good luck [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Use of a chainsaw without any CS certification

This Jimmy. [emoji106] -
it's not really the tie straps I'm concerned with. It's the side plate angle and the hook. By dropping a file size you have both and no cutting into the tie strap. [emoji106]

Thanks mate [emoji106]

Take the workshop charger with you and plug in at clients (if domestic). Or get another couple of batteries. That drain can't be good if the engines not running.

We can get onto "very advanced" (Hooking,square cut etc) Later mate.[emoji12] If stihlGB technical have to contact head office in Germany for advice, I'd say it's advanced for most. [emoji848][emoji12][emoji106]

Thanks Paul, Yes this is what I'm trying to get at. [emoji106]

Thought you used to run racing saws stubby?

That's a cracker! [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

So what's happening? They taking the saw back?

Good stuff. Then you'd probably need a stihl ms461 or 462 with a 3/8 chain and 25" bar. Just be aware it's nothing like a 40/50cc saw. Make sure your ppe is up to standard. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Warning!!! This is not for beginners/novices. For professional users only. So.... Image 1 Image 2 I'm having a long conversation with stihl about dropping a file size when the chain is about halfway done. As the side plate angle goes to 90degrees, or you file into the tie strap if you use the same size file. Either is not good. My boss (a very knowledgeable and a decent bloke) totally disagrees. Same size file all the way. Stihl GB have been very thoughtful, this is their email. What file size do you use? Do you drop a file size or always use the same size? [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

No1 learn to sharpen a chain from a professional. No2, a 2m dbh tree is not for novices. Even 12"dbh or smaller trees will maim and kill. No3 yes. Get a professional in. No4 a larger 70cc is a beast. A dangerous one. Get a professional in with one instead. No5 Don't buy a new saw. Spend your money on a cs30&cs31 course. You will live longer. After you've done all the above, then consider getting a bigger saw. Stay safe. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
