Stihl ms462 with 20” bar. [emoji106]

****ing brilliant! ??????[emoji106]

The stihl mtronic system is an automatically self tuning carburettor. You don’t need a computer. Your dealer has one. Basically it adjusts to air flow and fuel mix. So you can clog your filters up and it still runs. Everything else is normal. I’d reccomend a stihl ms261 with an 18” bar. Not cheap, but quality isn’t cheap and it will cut wood for years and hold a resale value. [emoji106]

Which one?!?!? Christianity,Judaism,Islam.... Those good old church going kkk boys?!?!?? Mossad?!?!?!? [emoji848]

What’s your budget? How much wood do you cut each year? [emoji106]

I would strongly suggest you bin it. Don’t buy fake copies. If you are going to use a chainsaw, buy a saw with actual “working” safety features. What you have is an accident waiting to happen. Be wise. [emoji106]

Fantastic skills! Yeah I vote rhino. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Get in with your local tree surgeons and find some local foresters. Give em a call, often you can get cherry,oaks etc for cheap/beer money. You should be able to get some more interesting stuff to mill from them. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

As a well known woodsman from Sussex told me years ago. “I run my chainsaws off sunshine. Don’t give my money to oil industries”. And he was right. [emoji848]

Radmore and tucker are advertising 881’s for £1368 on google. [emoji6][emoji106]

As Paul said. [emoji106]

It’ll happen. Next ten years I’d imagine a phase out of internal combustion engines. But with improvements in battery technology... Electric motors offer far more speed and torque than petrol, Look at Tesla cars. Tesla chainsaw anyone? ?[emoji106]

It’s a chainsaw. The only difference is the carburettor controls are set by computer. Everything else is the same as normal. I buggered my 261 carburettor last year, the brass rod holding the butterfly had worn the aluminium casing away. The auto tune had been compensating until the wear got too much. Took it to my dealer, he spotted it in ten seconds. Didn’t need a computer. Changed carb job done [emoji106]

The only part with a chip in is the carburettor. Everything else is mechanical or electrical. And they are about the same price as a standard carb. [emoji106]

No.[emoji22][emoji22][emoji22] It went back in August for their video shoot. Look carefully at the sticker under the exhaust. Good news is they are sending it back to me to continue testing. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Stihl MS 660 - Air filter for milling
Rough Hewn replied to arboriculturist's topic in Panther Mill UK
Yes. [emoji106] -
Be honest, Tell the kids the truth. If you eat one of these you will be vomiting and shitting psychedelic crystal lizards for a week. ??? (I’ve actually eaten quite a few in various forms in my youth and never had any effect whatsoever). [emoji106]

It’s a strato? Engine apparently. I’m told a layer of air above the fuel air mix means less fuel is wasted on the exhaust. I’m no mechanic, I just use big saws everyday for cutting big wood, and I’m really quite taken by this saw. It’s very very different to an 880. An 880 felt like an engine with handles on, the 881 is like the 500i/661 on steroids?[emoji106] After extensive testing, the only recommendation I could make, was a bit of plastic near the throttle was a “bit sharp”. Frankly it’s the best saw I’ve ever used. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Last bit of walnut milled between rain showers[emoji299]️[emoji299]️[emoji299]️ [emoji106]

Sell my baby! Never!!!! (Ok the 880’s a backup saw now). ???[emoji106]

The air filter is the same hd2 filter as the 880. It’s everything else that has changed. It feels like a proper chainsaw, easier to manoeuvre cross cutting and it mills beautifully in 5’ of oak and an 84” chain [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106] It’s 30% more fuel efficient, so that’s quite a saving in motomix/aspen. I burn up to 10 litres a day when milling big stuff. The savings over a hundred working days would pay for the saw new..... [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Is 35 too old to start a career as a tree surgeon?
