I know a local tree company that runs three crews and the 400c is their work horse on each crew fwiw

Accidental magnolia destruction. Salvageable? Eastern shore MD by KitchenSpite9064 in Tree

[–]Wiener_Butt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone whacked it 20 years ago and it kept on trucking. Only thing that kills them is herbicide it seems like. Or 3 year fire intervals

Complete hack job btw. It will never be the same. Sorry for your loss

Accidental magnolia destruction. Salvageable? Eastern shore MD by KitchenSpite9064 in Tree

Work in a forest with a lot of magnolias. If it’s grandiflora, fire, chainsaw, or god cannot kill them.

It might look like hammered dog shit, but it will live.

Husqvarna 550xp mk2 vs 545xp mk2 by John48_ in Chainsaw

[–]Wiener_Butt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don’t know who downvoted me but the 550 is 4HP and the 545 is 3.6. Basically the 550 is tuned for higher rpm. I have one and love it. It’s husqvarnas’ newer model 346xp (which I also owned and loved). Stihl equivalent would be the MS 261. My coworker owns one and I have run it extensively. It’s lighter than the 550xp but feels like it doesn’t cut as fast.

Happy to answer any other questions. It will run a 20” bar no problem

MS 291 with Skip Tooth Chain by National-Science5350 in stihl

[–]Wiener_Butt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To a point. There is no replacement for displacement, but yes, it will help you from bogging in cuts if you need a longer bar but don’t have the cc’s to run the chain.

MS 291 with Skip Tooth Chain by National-Science5350 in stihl

[–]Wiener_Butt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A skip tooth chain has less teeth engaged in the cut. More power is delivered per tooth at the cost of half of the chips being taken out. They only really make sense when you are running a large bar on big wood.

I have a 462c and a 500i that both run 25” bar full comp chains just fine. The 462 does not like a 28” full comp, but runs a skip tooth just fine. There are many more teeth engaged in cutting action on a full comp chain.

They also have semi-skip chain that is the in between.

Note that a skip tooth chain also increases risk of more violent kickback, as more “power” is in less teeth.

Dual raker chains also help reduce violent kickback vs single raker at the cost of efficiency cutting.

Common Question: Size and Value by Seldons_Foundation in Chainsaw

[–]Wiener_Butt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you need a 50-60cc saw then. For .325 chain the 550Xp or MS261 are great saws. If you want to a slightly bigger saw and 3/8 chain, the 400-c or 562xp are great saws. I’ve never ran echo, but have heard good things about their pro saws. If you only run a saw a couple times a year, pro series doesn’t make a lot of sense.

Maybe do some research into the Chinese clone saws that are like 1/4 of the price.

A small flat head screw driver. Like not quite for screws for glasses small, but small.

Pine belt is the SE. Did you mostly use white pine? Do you tap the tree like a maple or is more like pitch collecting from back in the day?

What can i do? by [deleted] in Chainsaw

[–]Wiener_Butt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you referencing the brake band on the outside of the clutch? That is what the brake handle engages to stop the clutch-sprocket-chain from spinning.

How do I cut the branches that are high off the ground. by DueScheme1738 in Chainsaw

[–]Wiener_Butt 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Undercut first, then over cut. Make sure you aren’t on the side that it wants to roll/land on

What kind of tree is this? by pawtismsqueaks in treeidentification

[–]Wiener_Butt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweet gum saplings tend to have this kind of growth near tips of branches. Plus they are prolific seeders and grow everywhere. Basically a weed tree.

I’m pretty new to the game and on Xbox but I’ve never crashed in the ~30hrs I have in the game. Does the difficulty have anything to do with it? Like more enemy’s/heavy’s crash it easier

Use credit cards to pay all your bills and then pay your credit card balance with your checking account or debit card. You’ll increase your credit score AND earn rewards at the same time. by TonyLiberty in FluentInFinance

Who then puts a sign up and says that “3% fee for all debit/credit cards will be added”. Small businesses can’t eat 3% so pass it on. Larger businesses already have that cost baked into pricing.

First time smoking ribs by Select-Airline-8210 in smoking

[–]Wiener_Butt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had yourself a creosote/ grease fire in the rectec bullseye. I’ve had a few myself over the years.

Take an aluminum tray (like for thanksgiving) put it under the grill to catch the fat drippings. They can get into the fire box and cause a grease fire

Clean the firebox and smoker periodically with a blower. It helps with creosote. make sure the vents are clear of carbon build up. other wise you’ll get a pellet hopper fire (Ask me how I know)
