Just because it was cut in that region, doesn’t mean the person who cut it knew what they were doing...

Looks like what I call the FUBAR cut.

Managed to stand this tree straight up with the wedges but had to use the big red wedge to push it over.

Another load and some bucking with the CFB 046.

You talking about the 500 or just the brush?

 

[CLEARCUT]

See where you can see daylight through the trees on the ridge? That’s where I’m cutting on Signal Tree road. The unit goes right to the edge. I’m right above my house here. It takes me about 25-30 minutes to get there. It’s nice working close to home at the moment.

Just the brush, I haven’t noticed the over rev issue but some of that might be the difference in chains. With a semi skip I ran a 8 pin sprocket well limbing and bucking I didn’t notice the issue, but with a 7 I could hear it 4 stroking hard. I’ve swapped back to a 7 pin with full comp on a 32 and haven’t heard it 4 stroke like it does with a semi skip.

Yeah, it seems to be pickier on chains than other saws if that makes any sense.

Well being that the 500i is a full computer saw, I think Stihl should have a selectable tune switch, one setting for bucking/ felling, another for slashing/limbing, then of course sport mode lol
