In the next couple years they’ll all be dead here too.

I've got a little one in my backyard, about 2". Seems healthy so far, I have my fingers crossed. Used to be a lot more of them around.

Used the wind today to fall a heavy leaner away from the field and into the pasture.

As usual, the wind let up just when you needed it most. Used every wedge I had with. Finally a good breeze came along to finish.

They have to be a little bigger for the bug to get them. 4 to 6 inches.

Stihl 661 with a 42 for some of the bigger ones.

That must be a truly mighty bar to wield on that 661!!! How does the av fare using it for true duty use?

It’s a little sloppy, but it works just fine. I haven’t ran a 42 on this individual saw a whole lot, usually a lightweight 36. But I have had the 50 on it too. Anyways, this saw has had plenty of time on it, and I haven’t had any springs break. We just have this saw in here to cut these bigger trees, and the rest we are cutting with 461’s with lightweight 32’s.

How does it oil? With the long bar?

I'm interested in that as well @CLEARCUT

It oils pretty well in my opinion.

How’s it compare to a 395?

I’d probably give the 395 the edge on oiling, but I haven’t really thought the 661 has been stingy. You can’t go wrong with a good ole 395 though.

Thank you...

Thank you...

I have been using my 461 with a 42 and it oils just fine

462 made easy work of it with a 24" bar and full comp chain.
