Bros, I'm buying a chainsaw today, a Stihl MS-241
Poast new message in this thread
Date: September 13th, 2015 11:24 AM Author: Pearl State Sick and fucking tired of paying some guy $300 every time there is a large branch that needs taken care of.
When I told my wife I was going to buy a chainsaw, I swear I saw a glimmer of respect in her eyes. |

|
Date: September 13th, 2015 11:35 AM Author: Pearl State 16 inch. The absolute largest trunk I will cut is 20 in, and the 16 in bar can handle that easily enough with some patience.
It has been a while since I ran a saw. I figured using a fairly manageable sized bar and buying the lightest pro grade saw makes sense for my intended use. |

Date: September 13th, 2015 12:09 PM Author: beady-eyed infuriating love of her life 1 week after buying it a 36in limb will break unexpectedly and you'll have to cut it partially by hand or learn to safely gouge-cut (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2988250&forum_id=2#28746216) |
|
Date: September 13th, 2015 12:11 PM Author: Pearl State If a 36 in limb breaks unexpectedly, it is time to call in reinforcements, if for no other reason to lift the heavy sun of a bitch.
And I know how to work a saw. I spent a summer in HS helping a brow clear timber on his land every weekend. Looking back, it is a miracle none of us ended up with a giant scar across our face. |

Date: September 13th, 2015 12:15 PM Author: Exhilarant Turquoise Business Firm Cumskin does that have easy start? you are probably buying too much saw for you, the mid grade stihls are fine and that easy start thing is 180 as fuck in the cold (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2988250&forum_id=2#28746255) |
|
Date: September 13th, 2015 12:22 PM Author: Pearl State It has all the bells and whistles. It is the smallest pro-grade saw Stihl makes. In fact, it is smaller than a lot of of the "farm and ranch" saws.
The main advantage of the pro line over the "farm and ranch" saws is ease of repair and weight, and pro line saws are only an additional $50 to $100 over the farm and ranch saws. Now that I am older, I can appreciate the importance of light weight tools, and when I buy something, I want it to last decades. I hate replacing tools. |
|
Date: September 13th, 2015 12:25 PM Author: Exhilarant Turquoise Business Firm Cumskin I've run both, that decompression thing suggests that it's not the easy start, it's a heavier duty saw but the farm and ranch will also last decades and I'm telling you, pumping away in the cold is so much nicer when you barely have to pull (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2988250&forum_id=2#28746315) |
|
Date: September 13th, 2015 12:43 PM Author: Pearl State All of their pro line saws have a decompression valve.
I was under the impression that the 241 has their easy start feature, but I cannot confirm from Stihl's webpage. This video certainly makes it look like it does given how slow he pulls the cord.

It is a highly controversial axe, but I used one a while back and loved it. |

|
Date: September 13th, 2015 12:55 PM Author: Pearl State Because I will be splitting firewood with it, and I like splitting wood by hand. It is a great workout.
If I could make a decent living splinting wood and bailing hay, I would be a very happy man. |

Date: September 13th, 2015 2:52 PM Author: Pearl State Read up on the Fiskar splitting ax. As I noted, it is a controversial ax since it runs counter centuries of accepted wisdom, but it really does work well for splitting.

Date: September 13th, 2015 12:48 PM Author: Pearl State I have been a Husqvarna since I was 12 and bought my first dirt bike, an old, beat-to-shit Husqy. But I have had a ridiculous number of Husqy power tools crap out on me recently, and I baby the shit out of them. I only run ethanol free gas in them, and if I am not going to be using them for an extended period of time, I always drain the fuel and pull the cord several times to evacuate the fuel from the carb.
I am done with Husqy, and one of my city's top Stihl dealers is located about 5 blocks from my house. It is a no brainer. I am thinking about going all in and getting a Stihl saw, trimmer, and blower. |
