Sloppy Cutting and a Dull Chain
zhlédnutí 1,1KPřed rokem
last tree in this spot so I didn't want to put on a fresh chain for one tree. chain wasn't the greatest from the start anyway because I'm messing around with my grind. going back to Oregon chain so I need to change my grinder setup. Stihl 500i running a 34" Oregon bar and chain, semi skip chain and a 7 pin sprocket
Ported Stihl 661 Falling a Frozen Pine

Jason Egan ported 661 taking on a frozen pine tree. running an Oregon 34" bar and a full skip Archer chain. not a big fan of the archer chain. it'll throw decent chips but still doesn't cut very well

Timber Falling: Long Friday Video, Stihl 500i, 7 and 8 pin sprockets
zhlédnutí 2KPřed rokem
trying out a longer video to see how it does. this was from Friday running a stock 500i with a 34" bar and trying out 7 and 8 pin sprockets on it. feels like the 7 doesn't bind up as much but the 8 spins much faster. also tried a full comp and full skip with each sprocket to see how different it was. wasn't the greatest comparison because my filter was pretty plugged after 2.5 days of cutting. ...

haven't had much decent wood these past few weeks so haven't taken any videos. finally starting to cool down. supposed to be in the 70s all week as opposed to 90s and 100 running Stihl 461 with an Oregon 34" bar and full skip Oregon chain. trying out a 7 tooth to see how I like it

Where’s the review?

Hi what are you thinking from the 500i?
Granndi bel lavoro
Nice face cut Kodee , have to love the 661👍👍👍
Your Job is pretty much 90cc and you choose 80 and bitch,, what did you expect~?
That's a pretty tall stump! Other than that it was pretty mediocre. Make a video when you actually get into some big wood 😂 just playing dawg
long bar, underpowered saw, thin hinge, all bad.
I’m going to be getting a 500i this weekend. have you had any issues with the filtration system?
You should get more time on that saw before you start making videos.
César 🌨️🌨️🌨️🌨️🌨️❄️❄️❄️❄️☃️🌬️🥶🏔️ si
César 🧔🏻🎂🥳🎉
You are pushing it with a 36 “ bar it is a only a 4.8 cubic inch are use the 32 but are used full skip chisel chain if you want to go and cut big timber you need at least 661 with a 36 inch bar
I see the snow makes you happy Kodee, have fun cutting Bud!
Big wood , great knock down Kodee,
Where did you get your chaps from?
How do you like the egan port job ?
Great cutting Kodee , I see by watching your videos you have a few saws, enjoy watching the tree cutting work! Stay safe!
Kobee right ON , SAW in the WOOD 🪵, STICK on the ICE 🧊 and RUBBER on the ROAD . Have a good wk - end . Hey your under cut will come back to you buddy .
It comes and goes lol thank you and have a good weekend yourself
chips are flying so thick it looks like its snowing
Thanks for watching
Hey Kodee, so are you going to full comp, or semi skip? Have a good weekend fella. Take care.
Probably full comp. Still not a 100% though. Semi is a little nicer to grind but hard to beat how smooth and fast full comp is
Hey Kodee do they pay more for cutting in the burn as to just regular timber falling?
If they do I haven't seen it 😂
Not to worry about putting on weight over winter just means your a healthy dude, enjoy all your cutting videos Kodee, you handle those saws like nothing at all, stay safe Bud!
Haha not even. I get lazy and like junk food 🤣 but thanks lol
HI Kodee, just asking do you get paid by footage cut or a hourly rate. your video are awesome to watch!
Most are hourly around here
Hey Kodee I suppose the saw of choice is what you have to cut that day, you have a few I have seen, whats your take on the 500 ? great cutting videos !
It's a good saw. Over priced though. It's got good power to weight ratio. But you can get a 661 for less money. But I still like it
Nice one you made that look easy! saw pulled that bar quite nice. stay safe bud!
Thanks. I appreciate it
NIce cutting Kodee , it must be hard on saws cutting in the burn, do your air filters get clogged faster? Do you take 2 saws out with you? Just in case.
Very hard. That fine dust gets into everything eventually. Yes you have to change your filter much more. When I run the max flow filters I usually run them a week in good conditions and in the burn I can only get about 2 days before it starts to plug up
Was that a Jeffery Pine you cut?
I think so. But the pondo's look pretty similar at this size, I still have a hard time telling them apart till they get bigger haha
@@kodeebarber I'm going with Jeffery because of the elevation.
You know I know cat are always pussyfoot around ! CAT should be timberjack with a swing arm a lot faster on RUBBER with ring chain , them a crawler tractor. you know SAW IN THE WOOD , STICK ON THE ICE 🧊 and RUBBER ON THE ROAD !!! is a LOGGER LIFE . 😊
This was no place for a skidder lol it's a lot steeper then the video shows. Cat was bunching for 2 skidders. Steep as shit and a long ass skid
Have to built frost the snowman ⛄️ buddy .
Almost could have. There's was an inch or 2 on the ground the next morning lol
NIce one, that 500 is sounding healthy
Yes it is. I like the rumble the straight shot gives them
new sub and a big thumbs up Bud, awesome cutting! your saw is running very good, just bought a 661 sweet.
Hey thanks man I appreciate it. 661 is one of my favorite saws. A real work horse
Price is a major negative plus the weak av but nd plenty of power once a bark box and airfilter upgrade are done. I bought one as it is light and plenty of power. I like the balance with a 28 inch bar and chain. I put on a Exile performance bark box and bucking spike and a Red beard Velocity stack ,she does alright for a techy saw.
Oh yeah, honestly over priced. They are like 70 bucks more then a 661 around here. But I still like them even though they are so expensive haha
What causes the grabby-ness in a new Stihl chain? I have that issue sometimes after sharpening by hand with a file and wonder if my rakers are too flat on top vs. rounded nose? Keep up the strong work Kodee!!!!
Thank you sir. Flat rakers won't really make it grabby but it does make it a little rough cutting. Angle them smoothes it out a lot. The only thing that can make it too grabby is having the rakers too low and/or making the tooth angles to aggressive
@@kodeebarber Bingo! First time I’ve heard about the tooth angle being an issue! Is too aggressive having the top of the tooth (top cutting edge) more straight across versus swept back at an angle? Thank you! This is huge for me!
@@kcf955 the straighter the top angle the less aggressive it is. Generally matching it with the angle line that's on the chain is usually pretty good. Make it a little straighter if you're in hard wood
@@kodeebarber Perfect, THANK YOU! Stay safe and keep the videos coming....
@@kcf955 no worries. Anytime. Thank you
The 500i is really only superb at 25in with the bark box and larger side cover by WCS
Yeah I could see that in hard wood. Wouldn't get anything done around here with a 25 though. If you can stand to run a 32 on them then they are perfect for softwood cutting
@@kodeebarber I drop 4 footers often with a 25 just double cutting the face.
@@fellowbrotherinwar it's all about production here. Not saying you can't do it but takes way to long
He seems like the type of guy to slap his own ass.
Your right buddy over price for 79.9 cc , plus there are pig on gas ⛽️ to buddy . Stick to my husqvarna buddy . 😊 remember SAW in the WOOD , STICK on the ICE 🧊 and RUBBER on the ROAD ! 😊
If your chain is sharp they are actually pretty good on gas. But it's gotta be sharp sharp. The second it gets even a tiny wood dull they just suck the gas down.
I just had my Walkerized OE 372 blow a crank bearing(40:1 red armor from new) and take out the case. Honestly not happy with the saw from day one, peaky power and no torque. I take my ported 462 over it any day
@@RI-td3gv how much run time? And is that the older non xtorq?
@@kodeebarber yup older non xt. Not sure on hours but its done 6-10 cords of firewood for the last 10 years. Definitely not a production saw
@@RI-td3gv that's surprising it blew. Always heard they were pretty tough and didn't have lower end issues till the XT model
My local Stihl dealer refuses to even get the 500I because it’s fuel injected and he doesn’t want to learn how to handle what problems “might” pop up on one. He seems to be a very likable guy, except for that. I’m of the opinion that the only way to learn is to get a little bit out of your own comfort zone. I guess that he’s just going to miss out on that sale. It’s just going to have to be the 462 for the immediate future. Does the “BarkBox” orientation not through heat or chips up into your face?
From everything I've seen the 500i is one of the less problematic saws out there. I've had more problems from other all other saws I have then my 500i. I don't run bark box anymore. I've got Egan straight shot on all mine, it's only a problem if you've got your face directly over the port. Never had a issue with that myself
@@kodeebarber Thank you for your thoughtfulness of your reply’s. It’s DEFINITELY something to think about.
@@ToddAdams1234 no problem. I try and help when I can
When I ran my buddies 500 next to my 462 with all the west coast shit both pullin 32” bars and chains off the same grinder I didn’t think it was all that much better for the price honestly lol
@@joemyers4037 it really isn't lol the 462 is lighter and I think it's a touch snappier as well. You can get a 462 and get it ported and be the same or cheaper then a 500. 500 has a touch more power and feels a little tougher to me
I sure hope so for the money right
Honestly it's not worth the money but I still like it lol
Should grind it's own chain, fuel, and oil itself for the price! Our local farm and ranch store was having a sale when I bought mine so we got almost 300 bucks worth of clothing free for the listed price of the saw, still too damn much though
I like mine so far but that's only one cord of firewood, the fuckin factory side cover though...................may as well not even be one as much chip as you eat and you can't roll yer chain back on if you pitch it without takin the damn thing apart. Sure smooth and got plenty of snort for it's size, now I want to run one that's built is the only problem lol
For real though. They are about a joke. Everything you said and you throw your chain twice and the cover is broke
Just got a 500 put a maxx flow air filter and suspension kit and bark box havent ran it yet
It's one of my favorite saws. It's definitely over priced but I still like it. Best advice I can say is don't compare it to anything else cause it runs a lot different lol
great saw enjoy
better snow than rain
That is true everytime lol
What elevation is this.?
Over 6k
glad to see you back
Thank you
I’m thinking Madsen’s had prices he couldn’t pass on. New blue wedges and a roll of 75CL.
Well they have Oregon on sale right now but no I've been going away from Stihl the last year or so and I'm finally down to the last of my stihl chain
HAS THE 500I BEEN A GOOD SAW
I haven't had any issues that were due to to saw being faulty
And he's back! Hope everything's been good Kodee. Thanks for the video!
Hey thanks for watching
Sweet, Where are you cutting? Reminds me of the country north of Lassen north of 44. Why the switch, Cost?
Yeah this is Cal pines up by alturas
Stihl quality has gone down. I liked running Stihl cause it holds an edge better. But over the last couple years the quality has been awful. It stretches so bad you have to tighten it after every tree. And it will have random hard spots in the chain to the point where I can barely grind through it. Oregon chain is smoother and faster cutting and has been cheaper generally then stihl
