CAT D6H LGP My girls love it as much as I do.

Good points by all… I like fire, dust, flying chips, eye injuries, hearing damage, loss of power, and annoying my neighbors all in the name of looking cool . But I’ll be damn if I’m gonna put up with mud daubers! Installing a bronze screen over the interior holes. Is that what everyone...

I was in fear of losing my Man Card a couple of nights ago after helping my daughter's bake a birthday cake for my wife. I think I overcompensated by modifying my 500i muffler. Used a couple of chunks off a stainless steel crawfish boiling paddle (0.030" wall 316L SS), a TIG torch, and some...

Broke her in this morning. Just added a small capful of extra oil to each tank. Didn’t have any troubles at all. Three tanks burned while cutting at various speeds in soft pine with not a lot of high revving or hard pulls. Can’t believe how responsive the throttle is on the 500i. Going to be...

Yes, check here for the 16” lightweight bar. $63 at the time of this posting https://www.ebay.com/itm/16-TsuMura-LIGHT-WEIGHT-Guide-Bar-3-8-050-60DL-rep-Stihl-291-360-391-160RNDD025-/382935239068?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292

I know this is a controversial topic, but I’ve always been one to break in engines rather it be a small engine or a new truck. Old habits die hard… So for those of you that believe in break-in, what do you recommend I do with this fancy no-carb fuel injected rig? Traditionally, I would run a...

To answer at least one question...

I certainly don’t want to derail this thread, but I’m desperately waiting for a little common sense guidance for EPA laws. Let’s be honest, most of us on this forum drive a truck, many of them with higher displacement V-8 engines. At around 13 - 15 miles per gallon in the city, I have burned...

Awesome. I’m doing the same as well with @fordf150 for the 16” through 28”... all Tsumura. Just wanted to try and compare the Versacut

Not sure. I couldn’t find anyone either. I got an 18” Stihl 3003 mount (180VXLHD025) arriving tomorrow for $38.07 shipped from Amazon. BTW, I haven’t heard back from Oregon yet regarding where they are manufactured, but at that price I am expecting the finest Chinesium grade material from the...

Looks great! Would you be kind enough to share a part number with us? I asked my dealer about it and he stared at me like I had a third eye. o_O Thanks! :beer-toast1:

Thanks everyone for the replies so far. I’ll write to Oregon and ask them where they are made. -Lindley

What's the latest updates on the Oregon Versacut bars? I am attempting to do some research on lightweight bars in the 16" and 18" length for 3/8" pitch .050 gauge chain on a Stihl large (3003) mount. I've settled on buying the Tsumura Light & Tough from @fordf150 in the 20", 24", and 28"...

Great! Thanks for the quick response.

I am looking to start over and keep things simple with one chain and bar type for two saws. I plan to buy five 3/8" pitch .050 gauge lightweight Tsumura bars in their A010 (Stihl 3003) mount for a MS 261 C-M and MS 462 C-M (deposit down on the 462... anxiously waiting). These appear to be...
