I heard a old caller say he use to put 5 gal of mix thru his saw if I remember right it was a day but I might be wrong that's a lot of cutting

Even with a 395 or an 066 thats ALOT of cutting, heck might as well say that even with an 088 or 3120 ..............thats still a crapload of cutting every day. I wonder if its even possible.

We have HUGE oaks and maples around my area, and when I fell, buck, and cut everything on the entire tree, we usually have 2 big saws (90cc) and two small saws (50cc) going at the same time. We go through 2-3 gallons and it takes most of the day.

Hmmm. Is it common for 066s to wear out crank and bearing?

I’ve changed way more bad cranks on 1128 and 1122 than any other series of saws. Might be cause there’s more of them around here. Husky 385/390 would be a close 2nd.

Must be because they are used much harder than the smaller saws. Bigger bars and chains put much more stress on the saws.

They used 20” on them around here mostly. One or two use 24”.

On 460s and 660s?

On 460s and 660s?

Lot of hardwood loggers like 28” and under bars usually I noticed.

 

[mdavlee]

Yes. I got 13 bars from the guy when I got 6-7 460s and 3 660s. Not a single one over 24”

My bench never seems to change...same ol’ avionics/flight controls song and dance every day!

Correct! Most loggers around here are geared towards production and use feller bunchers or processors and cut pulp wood. But there is a SELECT few that sill use saws and a bar length would be 24" max around here anyway.

 

[mdavlee]

I think using a 20” is like bringing a 22 to hunt bear but that’s me. I prefer a 28-34” unless the wood is real small and I’ll use a 24” for some of it. That’s in hardwoods here

Unfortunately, sounds like what I do to get some of those Asian saws working OK.

So that's where that trait comes from … I got 7 different nationalities in me!

I've got 3 or 4....mostly German, Irish and Scottish. Euro mutt pretty much!

 

[Johnmn]

Rain again today! Getting real frustrating!
But gives me saw time.

Waiting on a few parts, oil pump o-ring, Chain catcher, starter handle maybe some other smalls

The old faller that told me that used a 051 and I think a 075.

 

[MG porting]

Give it a MM and a TA.

I asked him if he would like that but he said he would rather have me do some port work on his 044. Lol

 

[MG porting]

The Bullheaded German in me just couldn't throw this rusty crap away. So on the bench it went.

Good for 40 more years or so. Lol good job.

 

[MG porting]

When I cut with my saws, I thoroughly clean them at the end of the day before putting them away. I use air and blow all chips and dust out and off the saw. But I am a bit over the edge. LOL
Nothing like a good running Stihl. [emoji106]

Every saw that comes in my shop is packed full of chips and dust durt and crap then when I give them back the owners always ask me why is there say so much lighter. Lol.
