Smile a little brutha, ya ain't on duty anymore.
The Stihl 261 is a bad mamajama!

Give the guy a break, he's sawing with burned hands, working through the pain!

 

[Dub11]

I could. Are they expensive to rent? I was actually thinking of buying one.

I priced a tow behind one that was rated for 500 pounds and went to 24' and it was $150 a day. Now I've seen lawn chair with legs thicker than the boom on this thing. I'd be hard press to trust it. Now the self propelled lifts iirc was around 400 ish.

Rent em on Saturday, since they aren’t usually open on sundays you get the whole weekend for the price of one days rent

 

[Deets066]

The tow behind kind are the cheapest and work just fine

 

[RI Chevy]

Thanks guys. I was looking at a tow behind. It was over a year ago. I think it had tracks. Narrow enough and light enough to get into back yards. Had legs that came out. Looked decent. All info was on my old phone.
I will check my local rental place and see what they have. [emoji106]

Nice. Ported? What's the specifics?

 

[Battle Cross 2]

Wicked work saws 395. Probably a bit rich still breaking in.

 

[RI Chevy]

Runs real nice. Strong.

 

[Moparmyway]

The 395 is a newer design and a quad port. Kevin did a super job on the machine work and port job for sure. It’s the most powerful beast I own at present.

I also have a @Moparmyway 395, so I get to have my cake and eat it too

And yes, we ran some other ported saws with less bar and smaller sprockets. Got less than 1/4 through the log, and just shut her down. The difference was that big. I remember thinking “Is this thing on?” Both the Husky and the Solo are that much more powerful than anything else I’ve ran.

I want to see both 395’s together, head to head

 

[RI Chevy]

Same recipe or a little different Kevin?

I allways let the cylinder lead me to where it wants to go. If it wants to go take a leak on a hydrant, off to the hydrant we go !!

 

[Redfin]

Sounds familiar.

Hey, after posting that pic of the Stihl Babe, Jeff gets to keep his position.

 

[RI Chevy]

LMAO. I would have snapped the maple tree in half with my weight. [emoji23]
I gotta learn how to climb though.

I resigned Mike. Got too many people upset and mad. Not worth it. Someone else can carry the flag.

lucky our place here will open on Sunday for a return or they will charge more for the 2 day thing. Greedy they are.

looks like a silver maple and I cant believe its solid.

I bet you that tree is only 60 years old. They grow fast and rot fast. Not the smartest choice along with weeping willow to plant near a house. Lol

We had a tornado hit my area back in 1966. They replant with lots of silver maples. A lot of them are a PIA now.
This elm was blown over but they were able to upright it after the storm. Still kicking after 52 years.
