Chainsaw 2T oil. Perplexed.

[unstuck]

Put a couple of lawsoniana ellwoodii needles around your muffler, lovely aroma. Underdraws under your chaps optional. Dont go bigger, you will make more dust, Some of those fruit tree woods you may need a tungsten tip if it has been sitting dead for a long time. That or a gas axe.

It was standing on it's last legs, bark on but stuff all enthusiasm. Feller who felled it reckoned if we waited another year then it would have been a machine job. The gert great beast of a thing he had skittered a few times before he got a bite. He had to adjust the chain 5 times in 3 hours. Had to do mine 4 times today. Bloody great ain't it!
Might have to get a mobile saw mill in for the trunk. Well, some of it. Tried splitting some of the sections today. Yeah, what ever. See that? That's an imprint of your splitter.
Need to have something hugely scarey to ride over for the next few years. Anyone got a cheap trials bike?

my old man has had his stihl for probably over 14 years.
its a magnum, not sure of exact model, but that thing cut through alot of shit in its lifetime.
i think when he got it, it was second hand and had been in forestry work.
runs the stihl 50:1 mix, always has.

Thats what sthil recommend, but I still mix mine at 40:1. Bought an 023 and an 025 new in 89, and both still doing service as clearing saws on track work.

. Chisel chain or bigger bar & chain for my wee 639? What colour lingerie should I wear under me chaps? Which oil has the best fragrance? Should I wrap some tinsel round me helmet?

yea, as i say, e props.
Run at full noise and let the saw do its job. Poke the dogs in and ya should be able to do it with one hand. (dont though)
i never wear undies.
Has your saw had a pro tune? New plug and clean filter?

Not yet. It's new, well, was. Gonna show it some love today before I start again. Clean it, flip bar, check plug & clean air filter.
Tried splitting some of the rounds last night.. I have lots of lawn stools....

Be careful the wood splitter does not hit you in the forehead, that fuckin hurts. Didn't think blue gum could be so springy.
Any thing that the splitter wont handle, gets the chainsaw treatment down here, and the resulting piles of long curly wood shavings are used for bedding in the chook house.

Yep can't go wrong with that or Husky mix. Chainsaw oil made by (or under license for) chainsaw manufacturing companies specifically for chainsaws. Using anything else is stupid.

Yup, that's me next plan, quarter the logs. Tried valiantly with the smart splitter which has beasted everything to date. Got in about 5mm. Tried a 4kg splitter / sledge hammer, seen the new Thor movie? Made a dent.
Had enough of fire wood today + everybody in the house is sick with allergies, shingles, heat stroke & blobby face, so made a trailer for the ride on out of an old pallet, miscellaneous stuff from the "that will be useful" pile & some trolley wheels. Cost me $34. The bar is a bit short, bastard to reverse.

I reckon an 600cc parallel twin would fit under the hood.

Sad but true. Even with a husqvarna tag riveted to it.
Glad to say the wee solo, even though it's overwhelmed, is doing a sterling job. New chain soon for the poor wee thing.
