New saw for Big Tree

[Brian Libby]

I had to buy a new chain saw because of the recent tree removal, so I went to my local dealer and bought a Sthil MS391 with a 20 inch bar.:):D

Tractor was new this spring. I certainly need both for the tree clean-up
There will be MANY bowl blanks!!!!

Drool... Drool

Nice gloat, Brian - feel free to drive your extra blanks down here to Georgia on that tractor. Can't be more than a 6 day round trip!

hubba, hubba! I don't know which one is prettier! :D what is the motor size? [CC rating?] I recently got a Husqvarna 390XP and wondered when I saw your picture if they are in the same class ........professional timber saws.........I think the 390XP compares to the 660 or something similar in the stihl lineup.

That is a fine looking outfit, any way you look at it!!! I like both machines.......a lot!!! Congrats on both!

Roger, the 391's cc is 64.1

That is a nice saw, Brian........not too big, yet powerful enough to handle a pretty good size tree..........

Now my keyboard is full of drool - you lucky dog! I have a old Ford 1900 - actually a Shibara made in Japan. In the early 80s these tractors were made by Shibara in Japan and Ford made a deal that Shibara could sell them in Japan under the Shibara name. It is a 30 HP 3 Cylinder Perkins diesel with a 26 HP PTO Class 1. It is the same engine that was in my Dads Gafner Iron Mule (skidder).

It looks like you detailed the tractor for the picture - not even dirt on the tires. You should be able to make small chunks out of large trees with the tractor and chainsaw. Both look like good choices.

Now that's a photo that should be framed and hanging on the wall in your shop! Congrats on your new saw and the big green machine!!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Congrats on the saw. Love my 20" stihl. Wish I had the tractor though.

[Donny Lawson]

Great saw. It should do really well on those larger trees. " No bowl blanks should go unsawed now". Great way to haul them back to the shop too.

[Fred Belknap]

Brian I have had the same saw for about a year now and I really like it. Now if it just had a self sharpening chain.........

[William Macomber II]

brain, nice saw and tractor, you have lots of fun with them.:D

[Kathy Marshall]

Nice saw Brian! But I think the green machine would look pretty cool parked in front of my shop!

Brian:

Congratulations! When you put your shiny new chainsaw in your shiny new loader bucket and strike out to do some work . . . don't forget your saw is in the bucket . . . don't ask how I know!

Be careful and enjoy.
