If ya sharpening is lacking it doesn't matter what saws ya own you will never get the best out of em.. It's like owning a muscle car with bald tyres yeah sure it's still drivable but absolutely useless! a honda civic will pull away from ya

Street slicks are basically bald and they seem to hook up pretty good.

Next time I see my dad I'll tell him the internet's said Stihl pro saws are rubbish they can't even pull 3/8 chain they are useless aprently lol

For those interested bit of history...
Yes he likes Stihl pro saws. And yep I can hear the tears flowing already
He's never owned a Stihl saw under 90cc if it can't pull .404 chain in Aussie hardwoods he doesn't want anything to do with it.
He reckons the 066/Aussie ms660 and ms661 are ok for little saws lol.. Although he's not that keen on the ms661 with the solenoids failing getting gutless/flooding and crap but reckons the two very high hr ones he has will see him out.

He's an old school Aussie hardwood cutter/logger... Started out young cutting firewood with clapped out 2nd hand chainsaws like Danarm with scratcher chain lol...then moved onto buzzsaws cutting firewood and cordwood for the hospital boilers.
Eventually became a cutter for the big hardwood sawmills back in the day running 090's.. He still reckons they are the best chainsaw Stihl ever made loved his 090's..
Got his 1st sleeper order from the QLD railway for 1000 sleepers and ripped them out with an 090 and filled that order.
Then he upgraded and built a buzzsaw running a Holden 6 cylinder red motor to speed up cutting sleepers. I remember hanging of the beast as a teenager we cut thousands of sleepers with it.
From there a portable sawmill with braking down and a bench..
Eventual worked up to owning a half decent hardwood sawmill we cut hundreds of thousands of sleepers and bridge timbers for the railways over the years.
Anyways fast forward he retired a multi millionaire all the time running stock pro Stihl saws who would ever believe it that's impossible according to the internet's lol


And this is him today mid 70's still going strong. And yep the smallest saw he owns is still 90cc. Hard to believe really when even 20year olds nowadays will try and have you believe a ms661 is to heavy to run all day ..
This vid is him a week or two ago. Even though he is retired and doesn't need to work he's still doing his split firewood to sell seems he can't go a day in his life without running a chainsaw...
Personally I reckon if someone can't make a living running pro saws from any of the major brands it's not something I'd be going around telling anyone kind of embarrassing really If you ask me but what I know lol

He's firewood

Street slicks are racing slicks with just enough grooving added to be legal on the street…that’s what they’re for.

Up here I think it’s steep but not that steep. There were guys vidding it in tx a lot

I've never been a fan of forcing the saw (or any other tool) to eat more than it wants to, and my saws are all on the small side. I only apply enough pressure to get a good bite and nothing more. My cuts show some skidding lines, especially in hardwood. But the job still gets done.

Is it really illegal if you don't get caught?


They sure have some funny rules in that down under country.

Yeah no street racing down here unless ya braindead lol
Depending on the state ya can get ya vehicle confiscated and crushed also on top of that up to a $16,000 fine and a year jail.
Not to mention we have speed cameras on just about every street corner and they bring in about 1 billion dollars in fines a year for our awesome dopey corrupt little Government.
Yeah they love getting ya for 3-4 kilometres over the speed limit is the ultimate cash cow for em

I’m sure you’re a cool dude, I was being sarcastic. We have idiots and fun police here too.

 

[blades]

and 98% of them are some type of government office person. somewhere i just recently read that on a national basis, employed us workers, not counting govt., are out numbered by govt employees. I do know that is the truth here in the state of WI for number of years already.
