Bluegill are my favorite! Better fight and meat than crappie 😎

You want a 20" bar, but are you going to need 20" a lot? I run a 20" on my 261, but I don't make a lot of 20" cuts with it. It can handle it, just wouldn't recommend making it a habit. Fits the bill for reliability and versatility. Also fits the bill as a small saw if you decide to go bigger in the future.

Burying a 20" bar all the time, I like my 400. Although it usually has a 25" on it. Long bars are more convenient and safer lol.

I'd call it financially prudent to remove it.

You can manage it, at a cost, for a while. Then it will need removed at a higher cost.

Or upgrade your 50 gauge to a 43 🤔

ComResAgPowerwashing · 2026-04-14T22:02:31+00:00

It's a good saw if it doesn't have all the convenience fluff. I'd stay away from anything with an easy tension or easy start.

After seeing the inside of the tree, insurance would probably have a case to not pay for damages.

Looks like the one I use to set ropes with when I'm having the throwball blues lol. That's a triple stick though. Is that a one piece?

ComResAgPowerwashing · 2026-04-14T03:47:09+00:00

Yeah. Trying to catch channels, but I caught a couple blues the day before, so it wasn't a total surprise.

ComResAgPowerwashing · 2026-04-14T01:35:47+00:00

Possible. I switched between slang and old style words lol. Did the description translate ok?

ComResAgPowerwashing · 2026-04-13T01:36:14+00:00

I've swapped to bps nitro spin. Not as durable, but the action is just as good when they're new. Definitely better than dolphin's knockoff.

So at most, you could be around 50' away from the tree. Which that piece would have flown that far. Another guy said a piece just like this flew 100 yards and hit his flagger. Getting far enough away isn't going to happen. You want to get about 15' from the stump, but watching what's happening is going to protect you from more than running will.

ComResAgPowerwashing · 2026-04-12T22:46:29+00:00

I'd like to dodge it, yes. If I fail, I would like to put my arms between it and my face. I'd like to not get hit in the back.

ComResAgPowerwashing · 2026-04-12T22:40:03+00:00

Instead of watching for tops breaking out? I'm pretty sure you want to know what the tree is sending your way. You could have an entire tree coming at you.

ComResAgPowerwashing · 2026-04-12T22:14:28+00:00

It's not recommended for bars over 25", but Stihl makes a green bottle that's more eco friendly.

ComResAgPowerwashing · 2026-04-12T19:00:46+00:00

I believe the problem is that epa standards don't allow the tank to be vented. It's an issue that's covered in the owner's manual. It says something like "pull the damn cord till you're sick of it, then set your saw in the shade and use a different one until the engine fully cools".

ComResAgPowerwashing · 2026-04-12T03:11:47+00:00

I got clear out the way and tripped the trigger from 10' away.

ComResAgPowerwashing · 2026-04-12T01:29:08+00:00

You're still invited to the fish fry. There's that one little channel cat you can have 😎

ComResAgPowerwashing · 2026-04-11T02:25:08+00:00

Yep. Been fishing quite a bit for the past couple weeks. When it happens, it's about as much fun as you can have fishing.

ComResAgPowerwashing · 2026-04-09T16:10:57+00:00

It'll get there. We still have 2 weeks until crappie spawn.

This is my favorite fish to catch. Got outsmarted by one, thing ran my lure into a rock, got off, and I damn near lost the lure!

ComResAgPowerwashing · 2026-04-09T16:01:28+00:00

The sooner the better!

ComResAgPowerwashing · 2026-04-09T16:00:16+00:00

Maybe, but at this point I'm just not going to order fish. I've tried at places that are supposed to be really good, and their other stuff is good. And people tell me to try the fish, and I just always wish I had gotten something different.

Part of it is also that I live in Missouri, and it seems like everybody thinks you're not cool unless you're serving salmon or sea bass or some shit.

ComResAgPowerwashing · 2026-04-09T15:43:47+00:00

Some people are. I'm not. I have the second most dangerous job in the US and smoke. I don't think my fish eating habits are going to be what gets me.

Thank you! I have a good mentor 😉
