This monster finally came down!! I was watching it for a few years...always afraid to approach it with a saw. I don't think my 170 will be able to work through it. This thing is about 2.5' across. I also believe it is a sugar maple!!

That hemlock next to it is 24" & the one on the ground sure looks bigger. One round a week?? That is a lots of weeks....

with the toys you use!
Danno77 said:Pfft. That isn't too much for a 170. Go to Baileys, order yourself a 16" bar and chain. 36 bucks plus shipping and only use it for special occasions.
Let me know if it works, 'cause I haven't tried anything like that on mine, which still does not run. (I need to get on that)
Danno77 said:The thing that sucks about burying a saw like the 170 is the stupid plastic dogs on it. Do they make a way to get some real metal ones to really dig in? Not really to provide leverage to push it through, just a way to pivot nicely.
MasterMech said:Don't hold me to this but I think if I remember right, the MS180 has a metal spike stock or available and I think the case is the same from MS170/180. Should be a "bolt-on" upgrade. Bug me enough Danno and I might remember to look it up on my next parts run for ya. ;-)
