Hi over there. 🤗. You are all doing a fantastic job 👍🏻. I completely agree with you about the chainsaw and you will come to love the little Sthil. Big hug here from Denmark 🇺🇸🇩🇰. Lars
I cut up a dead 16 inch pine that got blown down a few months ago with my 171, yesterday, in 94 degree weather. The 171 cut it fine until I got the bar in the dirt, ending its day cutting. I cleaned and sharpened it, later. I will finish bucking it up, today.
DUDE! You're right. I have a Stihl Farm Boss. It's a GREAT machine! It's also kinda on the heavier side. I just found a Husqvarna 171 in a house I had to remove everything from. It kinda looks like the Husqvarna version of that one. I hope it still works because it would be a great addition. My dad likes his Husqvarna and I like my Stihl. Now I can rep both...maybe.
I agree that you need to 2 saws... but anything that sticks a farm boss... needs something bigger than a 171... to cut it out... which is why I got a 362...
I tak 3-4 chainsaws with me on a cutting job. Never less than two. I also take a tank of gas and a container of bar oil, plus three felling wedges, a tuning screwdriver, my peavy, an axe, and most importantly my leather gloves.
@@BlackacreRanch I will not run more than a tank through my ms 170 in a day. Bigger saws more. It is hot, here. I have a 24 inch maple to cut down tomorrow and know I will be wringing wet when it is over. I made my ms 440, H 455, ms 251 to do most of the work but my 170 will get its share of limbing. The 251 will do most of the wor and the Husky will cut it down. The 440 is for the stump.
Buck up that wood to save those kids backs. I cut up all bigger wood in firewood lengths, regardless of what I am going to do with it. I buck up limbs to about four foot lengths.
@@BlackacreRanch I got a few that pop 25#, fully loaded with bar, oil, chain and gas. Put a long bar on them and they get really heavy. I grab my 026 Pro whenever I can. It will cut just about anything and is light enough to tote. A lot of folk worry about vibration. I think about ease of starting, balance and overall weight. I wear leather gloves to dampen the vibration and keep my chains razor sharp. If I have to worry about vibration I will stay sitting in my recliner in my office.🤪

I love 171
I use it 90% of the time honestly

Good to hear from you Lars
good point on owning 2 chainsaws
Thanks for the comment

I need to sharpen mine too

Something appeals to me about finding an old chainsaw and fixing it up. I've not had a Husqvarna. It'd be cool to see them both work together.

I've been looking at something bigger. Thinking a 462. Wanting a 28" bar perhaps

You've got more than I have. I have a bunch of trees that need to come down soon.

Always put the heavy pieces of wood on top of the smaller ones. This will compress the pile over time.
I like that
Cut some wood, put an ad on Craigslist, and sell it.
Got to start making money some time right :)
Do you send emails to the missionaries moms with a link to your video?
I don't but that is a good idea. They usually had forwarded it on themselves.
@@BlackacreRanch I usually let them call home from my phone when they're permited.

It would be easier to move it cut up.
@@BlackacreRanch yep. That’s my thought.
How bout 17# fully loaded, bar and chain, gas and oil.
That would be heavy

Boy you guys got it wrong it’s work smarter not harder, not work harder less smarter get the tractors…
I agree with you. I grossly underestimated the weight of these trees. The grapple would've made it a lot easier

Good point. I have seen a number of his videos actually. I'll look up the chainsaw review though
Don’t burn those logs….
Why not? I was going to use the oak for indoor but the other for outdoor firepits
@@BlackacreRanch use the small stuff first.
