    Ive used huskys and Stihls in forestry and you cant beat the stihl for reliability and ease of maintanace. I can get 6 months out of a production saw without having doing to much to it.

    Best chainsaw.

    Perfect weather today, not a cloud in sight

    Took some noisy swedes for a ride in the ute and cut up a few sticks to keep the house warm over winter

    Autumn has the best weather.

    Crammed in the ute




    Cutting up sticks





    Need a bigger ute


    Need some cold weather now

    I get given a work vehicle and don't care what it is, as long as it can carry deer

    This hybrid Sika hind had a huge body but mostly Sika characteristics

    Talking to Matt today about your big bar. Says many do not know how to use them properly and new crankcase is required.
