Stihl 064/066 update

[southbound]

Thought I would post some pic's of it dirty for all you folks that don't think I run my saws

A friend of mine asked if I could get ride of a stump a tree service left behind...He did not tell me it was oak and 5 foot 7 at the ground.O and it was a crotch 5 foot tall..Needles to say the 20 inch bar stayed berried all day.........


I have run 9 or 10 tanks in this thing it it has been a hard 10 tanks....I don't baby new saws run them like they are gonna be run their entier life....

I started off with the 9 pin rim but it keeps throwing the chain and the last time it put burrs on the dl and it would not fit back in the bar....It cuts like crazy with the 9 pin it just wont hold a chain..The stupid plastic name tag broke off first thing too..

It is a bit rich and stalling at idle so it will go back to get re adjusted funny I ran the 038 a little too and it was the same way..

the stump yielded a car hauler full of oak my little truck blew a head gasket or cracked a head on the way home... I just put the hitch on and it was it's first time pulling...

One last thing I have never had a Stihl bar loose that much paint that fast.............

Ok tomorrow I will take a pic of the pile it made....I have to go back and take down dead tree and clean up some big limbs..When I do I will take the Sony and snap a pic for you....

Isn't there some kind of chemical he can put on it to rot it out faster???

sound sto me like u broke it in just right. 2 strokes need to be beat right off the bat and ridden hard all their lives. thats why they are made.

I have not come across any big wood around here...The biggest stuff is pine and I don't burn pine...I see no need for a foot or two sticking out past the log I am bucking up....

This area has been logged since time began... The bad part is it was not replanted like it should have been ..The forestry dept is doing a good job now but kinda late... All the hardwood is being replaced with pulp wood..

There is a large mill here and always has been. They own most of the land so folks like me can't go after firewood there... Now they are going green so they wont even be leaving the tops....

The guy that has this stump said if I thought that was big he had one to show me deep in the woods..I gues it is a lot bigger from what he was saying..The good part he said I could cut it down just for fun if I wanted...

So I guess I will be going to look at this thing...

I run .50 28 in. and everytime i put a 20in. on it and think I am going to have a easy day, the first thing that happens is the bar gets switch to the 28in. would like to go with a 32 soon




you should be able to pull a 32in. .63 easy if the price is right

It is amazing what a simple muffler mod can do..

Even folks with no knowledge of saws can't get over how sweet the 64 sounds...
