Great job. I suggest you engage the chain brake when ever you set the saw down or are walking with the saw while it is running and you are repositioning yourself on the other side of the log.
Very impressive for your age! The MS250 was the first STIHL Saw I ever bought. Great little saw for firewood cutting and hunting property cleanup and projects!
Congrats. I have one just like it. 12+ years. Not the fastest but it’s perfect for what I use it for. Not heavy either. Nice little hall of wood too. FYI. Beware of those cherry trees most of them have rot or are hollow. That one looks great though. I ll be looking for the next one. 👍
Xlogger here. Nice little saw, great for construction work too. You handle it like a pro, well done. You might want to consider wearing gloves to minimize long term nerve damage.
Great video and nicely controlled work! Nice to see chaps too, seems unbelievably rare your side of the Atlantic! One thing though, I highly recommend gloves. It's not about stopping the chain, or about gripping material, it's about the vibrations. The 250's vibrations are B.A.D - 6.8m/s2 - almost double what they are in the more powerful 261. Over time vibrations from power tools kill nerves and that's permanent damage to your hands and fingers. Gloves make a hell of a lot of difference. Nice work though. Some beautiful cutting there.
I didn’t know that! I’ll definitely try to wear gloves more! I have just never really liked gloves because I feel like I can’t control stuff as good with them on. Thanks for watching!
@@WhackinAxes Yeah and you make a great point and it's why I'd never wear proper chainsaw protection gloves. Very little feel and control through them. But thin, lightweight gloves are definitely worth considering. As it happens I wear predator fishing gloves, but something like Stihl ergo gloves, or the Husky classic light gloves look good too! The condition's called Vibration white finger (VWF), also known as hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) or dead finger. Worth looking into now, so that when you're 50 you can feel how hot a coffee mug in your hand is!
Do u mind I ask how old u are you remind me of myself I was 13 when I got my first saw was a Poulan 3316 33cc 16in bar and I cut a lot of wood with that saw I was cutting firewood for my mom those were the days now I’m Cutting wood for sale good too see the younger guys picking up a saw and getting out love it have a good one
Great job whackin axes! Love the new saw 👍🏻 having no problem eating up that cherry I see even with the break in😃 nice job with the take down guys 👍🏻 good plan of attack keeping the walnuts safe and hickory’s... love seeing well thought out plans. Closing in on 200 subs too! 💪🏻 keep them videos coming, so proud of you buddy.
In case of kickback you always want to lock your thumb around the handle with your left hand, when sever kickback happens there’s a good chance you’ll eat your saw . Seen it happen a few times over the years at work and it’s not pretty no matter how light you get hit, the lucky ones only had damage done to chaps and helmets, while the not so lucky folks had sever cuts to the face / neck lacerations and a few who instinctively blocked with a hand or arm lost digits . Easy fix to keep that from happening to ya.
Nice video from start to finish. I love my 250 and will never sell it. Love my 026 as well. Hope you're allowed to use the bigger one once in a while. Cheers.
Nice work!! I am thinking of getting either the MS 250 or 251 Wood boss, but don't know if i like one bar nut on the Wood Boss. What is the largest diameters you cut with your 250? Thanks!!
I think there’s something wrong with my MS250. It smokes a lot out the front when i cut wood. Also it takes forever to get through a log. I just put a new chain on it and i can barely cut through wood.
I have noticed that my saw smokes quite a bit when I first start cutting with it but it goes away. I don’t know about taking forever to get through a log.. the chain might not be getting enough oil, or the way you are cutting could affect that too.
@@WhackinAxes I agree! The chainsaw is very sophisticated, in production for over 25 years. It is fraught with: good power, maneuverability, not heavy weight, excellent quality of parts. The tank caps are cool, the lateral chain tension, the carburetor heating, the toothed stop is installed on the chainsaw from the factory (in Russia, the temperature is up to -35 in winter in the Moscow region, and in my reality the carburetor heating system is very good). By the way, initially when they started producing it, its model was called "Stihl 025"
@@WhackinAxes A beautiful beginning of the video✨😁, and what kind of crickets you have in sound are different🤣 Well, maybe there is some truth in this, because we are separated by the ocean and many kilometers.
@@WhackinAxes oo thanks for the reply,i was thinking about buying one for me with 20" guide bar,it seems can handle a little havier job,sorry my english is bad,,
Use gloves , for safety, easier to work with and cuts down on the vibrations.! And long sleeve shirts are must every time ...! You do this everyday for a living 9 to 5 and you’ll understand why. !
For a loose stack though which is about 32inches by 23 inches and I charge twenty bucks for one of those. Each bundle I charge 6 bucks for and they each have around 13 good sized pieces in them.
I suggest that when you are running it, cut with it for a little bit then let it cool all the way down before starting cutting again. Do that until you get ab 3-4 tanks of gas through it and you should be good to let it eat after that!

Good call on the break in of a new saw
you are a true pro with that saw son person that taught you did a great job be safe
Very well done. 1st rule, keep your chain out of the dirt. You passed with flying colors. You must have a good teacher who you make very very proud!
George Martin thank you! I always try and keep my bar up when I’m cutting close to the ground.
Dad😂👍
Absolutely awesome! Super cool to see the thought put into where to fell these trees.
AJ got to think it through !
Everytime I see you I get more amazed at you well done
Harry Weich thank you!
Good job Whackin! You are the next generation of Woodhounds! Great saw you got with some well earned firewood sales!!👍👍

Hey glad to see your being as safe as possible good job and nice saw I had one for a long time 👍🏼✊🏼
I just learned the that wedge trick a month ago. Great clip. I to have a new sthil ms 250. I hope its as good as my 025.

Does Stihl publish the vibration levels for their saws? I don't see it on the website.
@@chrispainter827 Incredible info here, thanks for sharing. Just about to get started on cutting some wood myself, and had no idea this could happen.

Great job! Very nice saw! Good to take your time and break it in right. It'll last you a lifetime if you take care of it.
dave abercrombie I sure will be taking good care of it!
I always fill oil first, then fuel. If I get distracted and forget the second one, no harm done.
I’ve never thought of that before. That’s a great idea!
nice to see young men your age working there butts off, great job
Robot Looee thank you!
Great saw .
Great saw, congrats! :) Seems like it is about broken in! Nice load of wood

Yup I get to use the big one a lot! I usually do most of the cutting while my dads helps los the trailer and move rounds around!
nice job continue
Great videos😆
Good job young man
James Waltz thank you!
People camping love burning cherry. Think Premium.
Good show. See ya in the woods.
I can tell your already thinking bigger saw.
We have a cord of cherry and we have a guy that smokes with it. We have been stockpiling for people who want to smoke with it.
@@WhackinAxes Good idea also. I keep some for the soft summer camping crowd. They love the better smell. I do as well.

It is an 18 inch bar.
Awesome on so many levels! But you gotta getcha some gloves dude!
Brad Kimble I know I just don’t like wearing gloves while sawing.
Nice job Whackin axes. You guys are doing a 👍 job. Stay safe and keep up the great content. Later men .... Cut on🪓
Thank you!
Hi, where are you from? (Specifically)
Nice at you.
I have a Stihl MS 250 too, a very good chainsaw😉
hello from Moscow
Southern Illinois. The 250 has been an amazing saw! It works for cutting up logs and clearing brush. Perfect size saw.

Wow that's a lot of wood! (that's what she said)
do you burn wood in wood stove or fireplace
We actually do not have a wood stove or fireplace. It mainly started as a hobby and turned into a business for me to save up for to buy a truck.
Was that used motor oil?
If you are talking the oil I put in the saw, then no it is bar oil that we put in a little container so it’s easier to pour.
@@WhackinAxes oh,.... good man! Some put used motor oil in, that is horrible stuff for the environment. Good luck with the 250.
how much you charge for cords orof wood and bundles
We don’t sell cords right now because we do not have the right setup and we don’t have enough dry wood.
For a loose stack though which is about 32inches by 23 inches and I charge twenty bucks for one of those. Each bundle I charge 6 bucks for and they each have around 13 good sized pieces in them.
