i have yet to mod any of my saws save a bark box on the 661. Modding isn't overly common here but i'd love to compare a ported saw vs stock one day

a smidge hhaha

@@elemental4rce 😂👍

i can fell, limb and buck a trailer load in 1 tank. Approx 1.75 cubic meters. i enjoy running my saws too much to worry about the fuel consumption to be honest but it is definitely one of the juicier saws

@@elemental4rce Thanx for the info mate !

@@DeadWoodLogging6996 no worries! i'll try get some more videos out soon. Any requests on what you'd like to see?

@@elemental4rce anything involving big wood ! 😉

@@DeadWoodLogging6996 hahah if only :( i might be taking down some spruce soon. i will try and video the climbing at the very least.

i'll do a video with my 661 like this for you if you like. A lot heavier but i do enjoy using mine. i just wish i had bigger wood to run these saws in outside of work as my company doesn't allow the use of personal tools/equipment sadly. i love the 261 we have at work but i do find it lacking a little sometimes

@@elemental4rce I feel you on the need for larger logs for the bigger saw. I bought my 661 with the 36” so I have that capacity but I ended up also purchasing a 25” bar so I can give myself more excuses to bust it out.

@@dwainetyncompany i did the exact same haha

@@elemental4rce Unfortunate you can’t use your saws at work. I had an opportunity with a tree service some time ago and that was one of their things too, no personal saws. Never worked for them or anything but sure did make me feel a lot different about the position when they said that. I don’t use my saws professionally just yet. All personal use and I mainly freehand slab Black walnut, Eastern Red Cedar, Maples, Oaks, and Box Elder. I want to be a business owner. Offering lumber milling, drying, storage, and sawyer services. My chainsaws were my step one. I’m currently getting on a business name with the Secretary of State. Haven’t made any serious legal steps yet but it’s right around the corner.

admittedly very grabby, i keep losing my raker gauge so i've been doing it by eye for a while. it's fine on small diameter wood but it'll bog on larger wood undoubtedly. Just wishing i had some larger wood to cut outside of work!

@@elemental4rceyou can put the flat file over several teeth and use a feeler gauge for the rakers

@@Fogyt121 i've seen that! i can get a good guess by eye but you get issues when one side of the chain is a lot more worn than the other, makes it difficult to get a smooth cut without a gauge.

no but it is very heavy and often incredibly twisted grain. Apparently in they used to use it for early brake pads on carriages as it was so hard wearing. Brilliant burning wood once the fires hot enough, lasts for ages and puts out great heat.
