Just found the channel from your axe video and have watched a handful of your video's already. Definitely worth a subscription. The video's are filmed and edited nicely and have enjoyable content. Happy to be following along now.
Definitely an upgrade from an MS170. The 50cc class is a pretty good size for an all-around saw, but I have a G444 (70cc class) with a 28" bar on it, and personally I find myself reaching for that over my other smaller saws. Cuts so much faster and with the longer bar I don't have to bend over like I see you doing at 5:29. Especially when bucking up firewood small saws with short bars force you spend a LOT of time bending over. They're heavier, but I'd rather have sore shoulders after a day of cutting than a sore back lol.
Great point! I definitely noticed that while I was working and something to consider as I move further into this hobby. I can already sense firewood, axes, and chainsaws becoming an addicting pastime….
@@FirstCrackFarm A man can't have too many chainsaws... as long as our wives don't know 😛 Actually we have an ongoing joke between my wife and I when I need to justify feeding my addiction... "I am TRYING to keep THIS FAMILY WARM!"
Just a point.....a Stihl MS261C is equal to a Husky 550XP (both full pro saws). The 545 is more a semi pro saw, which is still light years better than the homeowner 4 series saws.
Thank you- I’m new to this world and learning as much as I can as I go. I did see the 550xp, but couldn’t justify the extra cost over the 545 with it on discount. I see Husky has a bunch of the “xp” variants along the different series. What is the major difference to achieve the notation?
