Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Gosh a new chain saw is nice!

You don't know chit about oil filters.






How's that for starters?

Well, I know they all have left hand threads.

Really???? I didn't know anyone made a left hand thread oil filter but I can see how someone trying to change one that wasn't aware of the left handed threads could learn to hate em.

What's the reason? Do Cat motors torque the wrong direction or something.

The best oil filters cost so much, very few can afford them. If you screw em on quickly, they're extra quiet. Like 3 times quieter than quiet.

I use one for my limbing saw and run a 16" bar with 3/8 .058 chain on it, same chain as I run on my Pro saw as I don't have to change the Oregon sharpener around. In Black Box I drop the rakers to 35 thou as it gives a better chip and better cut, which is just about opposite to what one would think should be done with extremely hard wood....but, whatever works.

The most important thing I have found with chainsaws is to run 98 fuel in it as it not only starts easier it also runs better.

Good choice by the way, terrific little saw.

Holy chit, ol Toddly must have had one too many whine coolers last night!

It isn’t so much the new saw as it is the new chain. When I have a lot of cutting to do, I buy a new chain. I have about 20 chains, I take them to the hardware store to be sharpened. They charge 3 bucks. They do a good job, but it will never be as good as when they were new. Just my opinion.

I have run a Husky 372XP for several years, great saw, been looking at a medium sized saw like one of the ranchers.

Also have an older Stihl 026 that is my light duty clearing the road saw for the farm. Guess its a toss up between the two companies as far as the best brand of saw. Never owned one of the bigger Stihls so I don't know if one could one with the Husky 372XP, when comparing engine CC's..

Have a MS360 pro I bought new 18 years a go. Very reliable saw for a tool doesn't get abused, but doesn't get any TLC either. Always starts, always runs and cuts. Just bought the commercial model MS261 without the electronic carburetor. A dealer I know who serves the utility industry found some so we snatched two up. Really don't want the hassle of taking a saw back to the dealer to get plugged in to the computer to find out why it doesn't run.

I like Napa Gold oil filters.

Oh no.... Wix are WAY better.

(tongue-in-cheek for those who know anything about filters}

Miracle Whip all the way baby!

Started a retaining wall system today. Totals about 1200' of PT 4x6 walls, steps, and boxes. The Husky really makes nice joints.

😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣

TFF

Here is my little beauty. I bought this 3 years ago for $625. Great little saw I use it to build log cabins, also for cutting firewood.

I also have 2 Stihl, love all 3 of 'em.

Bubble bee saw above

Lol
What a chitshow.
Sharp chain,saw tuned with alcohol free at 40:1.
Time on the trigger.

Loud mouths prolly use more wax to polish their saws than premix.....

And to the OP......glad you like your new saw!!!

The Husky was my go to saw for making a living cutting logs,but the Sthil is bullet proof and does a great job for the just occasional user..The Sthil was the go to saw for logging landings and people who really had no clue how to use one right.Not as temperamental as some other high rev saws.

My now, for cutting a bunch of firewood yearly to sell and use, Sthil 046 eats wood like no other (laughing).
