This was a bit of a sad project for the homestead. These two beautiful oaks were perfectly healthy. I hate to cut down healthy trees, especially when we have lost so many trees on the homestead in the last two summers of drought in Texas. However, in this case, it was necessary.
Since we are adding on to our house, the carport had to come down and be rebuilt on the other side of the driveway. These two trees were right in the way of where we will need to pull in and out of the carport. So, as much as I didn't want to cut down these trees, I needed to.
Stay tuned for an upcoming video showing the battle of getting these two stumps out of the ground.

    Good content; however the presentation is horrible with you saying "uh" once or twice per sentence. This makes it unlistenable to me after a few minutes which is a shame because like I said you have good content. A good way to get rid of your uhs and uhms is to talk in front of someone, and they have permission to raise their hand every time you do it. I'm not saying this to be mean, but to give you some honest feedback so that you can up your game and be more successful. Just go back and listen to this video and you will see what I mean.

    I have stihl ms 261 non-mtronic WhenI try to put on the chain and the side cover, It is a bit difficult for me to turn the nuts. Does it mean that the threads in the nuts of the side cover are worn out or the threads on the bar stud is worn out? What can I do if either of those is worn out. Can I use it in this way because I can turn it with a spanner but can’t turn it by hand?

    Hey Glenn, glad to hear your buddy randy is ok! I, myself always wear chaps gloves boots and eyewear when bucking/cutting firewood or felling. They’re definitely must have items in the field. I also always carry a good first aid kit. I had an accident once where i split open my left thumb pretty good using my Corona pruning hand saw limbing some small branches at my property up in the mountains. there’s no cell service up there and the nearest hospital is over 2 hours away, so taking proper precautions is an absolute must. Thank god I had the first aid kit. Changing the topic, wouldn’t the ms170 you got be a better choice in regards about overall fatigue than the 261 for small wood?

    Kids changed from 261 to 550 once they heard you were running an xcut chain. Once its is sharpened it loses a bit of cutting performance. 550 is a beast

  • @brownbear846
    @brownbear846 11 днів тому

    They are light but a pound is a lot in comparison I don't care if they are the same class, a closer weight comparison is the 362. Difference being half a pound, with a huge advantage in bars choice. This option comes at a big $$ increase though. Also are you running an xcut chain on the husky, you failed to mention the shorter bar. Bar length is huge, I wanted one of these for liming until I realized such short bars would eliminate any weight advantage The 550 is a beast at its price point, nothing appears to touch it.

    Hydraulic control valve rods bent, seal inside tore, 1100 hours. On the unit. Our bobcats seem to be more heavy duty and a lot quieter in the cab. For $8-$10k more I think the quality of the bobcat is justified for the price.

Would like to see and hear from someone who paid for it and how it has worked for them. Not saying his evaluation isn’t accurate and he did what the company asked him to try it out and say how it worked for him. Just wondering?

    I don’t do firewood or anything like that, but I need a pro saw to tackle downed trees around my farm and the farm and ranch saws just don’t perform for me. I bought a 550xp MK2 a couple years ago and it’s been awesome. Seen some hard use but it’s help up very well with zero issues.

    This and your previous 2 tests are definitely consistent with the hp & tq these saws actually make. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Both are rated at 4.0HP, but the Husky is underrated. A well known porter in MI has a dyno he tests his builds, and he did a 50cc saw comparo, all stock. 2 of the saws were a 261c and 550XP Mark 2. The dyno graphs for these two start at 8:36. ua-cam.com/video/IPB25bx3zas/v-deo.html

    Just bought a Kioti CK2620. Loader, backhoe. I couldn't be happier. Unbelievable power for a 25 horsepower. Build stout as hell compared to the competition. I did so much research and visited so many dealerships. Massey, Deere, Kubota, New Holland. Lifting capacity was much more. The build of the tractor is what really sold me. The axles, the thickness of steel, the grease fittings in proper location. The valve stem protectors. I could go on and on.
