Thread: show us your chainsaws

Here's my two saws I currently own one being a Husky 288 and a 495 and both are awesome saws but at the moment I'm looking at upgrading to either a 572XP or 395 so in a month I'll see what I get.




Last year I ended up ringing, splitting just on 120 cubic metres of wood because I got a little carried away and there's a bit of a long story to it. Sold most of it but also gave some of it to some needy families in the community as I didn't want to see them go cold especially the kids.

My boys helping with splitting



Borrowed a mates Stihl MS 881 (121.6cc) chainsaw with a 42 inch bar to help cut up a pile of beautiful macrocarpa. The saw is a beast to use!

Just wait till you have to resharpen it, more teeth than a great white.

I've got a skip tooth rip chain for the big bar but that's only one on one off. I take it that's a granberg chain, how much does that slow the cut? My skip doesn't seem to make much difference but the saw runs easier and the cut a bit smoother. I think granberg y also used to make a half tooth one.

It’s Oregon 27RX super skip. Cuts as fast as any when slabbing, which is the only time it’s used obviously. Saw runs fast and doesn’t get bogged down, and holds its edge really well. When it does need a touch up, it’s a quick job.
