Trees you've cut

[CLEARCUT]

Logging Firs at the Greek Alpine area which happens to be my village

And of course the cows are here to eat the firs leafs which we call them “honey leafs”

What kind of fir is that? Are you de-barking them at the stump?

Sorry I don’t know the fir variety in English but it’s our local fir here in Greece.

Straight after the tree fall using axes you have to take out the peel off so the fir doesn’t get any disease or warms etc.

Kind of Old School Logging pretty hard days

Is this the right species?

If so I’m familiar with Nordmann Fir

Hi
Actually I believe it’s this as our trees are sky high tall and the altitude varies here from 1.000-1.500meters above sea

Do you de-bark them in Spring only?

Downed this 44" Red Fir last year on a very steep hill. The MMWS Echo 800p held it's own running a 36" bar with full comp chain and at about 6000' elevation:

We are logging by law these trees only for 30-40days during May - June cause the juices are high and trees peel off instantly

Here in this altitude one month ago it was still snowing so the firs had not “awaken” yet

Stihl MS-261 CM with @Mastermind massage, 22" TsuMura .325 .063 from archerplus vs. desert dry red oak. Guess who won.

462 with a 36 inch bar. Just had to try it.

That sounded healthy at 6000ft.

It can’t quite handle as hungry of a chain, but I was actually impressed with it, IMO. I was a skeptic of this saw, but I am quite happy with it so far. I like Mtronic, the spring av, air filter system, and the light weight of this saw. It will see most of its action with a 28-32 inch bar, however.

I added these as well.

Please share your long-term experiences with this saw: are the springs stuff enough on that R model?

I don’t know why the companies don’t offer real Felling Dawgs from the factory...

I change mine on all the three and four series Stihl saws. My 200T is custom made. AM 200 was a joke.

Do you have a 462R?

No.
But I find that a lot of oe spikes can be switched to other models with much better results. I run inner 029 spikes on 361 362 and that common AM outer work well together on east coast hardwoods and our pines. 026 needs something and the 460 likes the 660 OE inner with a long bar

I will. I find the springs to be plenty firm for me. Nothing to cause any concern. I run lightweight bars on my saws, and that sure helps.

It’s getting a little bit of a workout on the west coast! Lol
