Thread: Best chainsaw.

To be honest there is not alot between them now.The older Sthils would outlast the Husky's any day.It was rare to see a Husky on a skid site in the North Island anway.Now both Sthil and Husky have computor controlled Carbs,fucking shits of things.They are supposed to "auto tune" the fuel delivery depending on elevation etc.Instead they sometimes "auto stop" especially when hotThey wont start for love or money untill they cool down.I used to repair my saws but now I run them for a year and sell them on.

Read the manual

Hot start procedure involves the chokes high idle position with the choke off

Starts no problem

Used heaps of 562xp saws now and that's the trick

That sounds like the argument that circles in NZ about Tikkas. We run a 353 and 562XP in the bush track cutting including very big dead wet beech. They certainly perform for us.The danger is the Timberline on the 562.Watch your legs because it can get that chain very sharp possibly too sharp.

Cutting southern mahogany today I discovered the secret to actually being able to cut it dry

I sharpened with the down angle set at 50 degrees and used a 1 mm raker gap
