Thread: show us your chainsaws

Also greatly appreciate the advice of anyone who has a terranno! Still miss mine!!

I couldve bought a 661 for another $100 when puchased my one the next size down......weighing it up I believe I made the right call..... dont get me wrong I love using a 661 and the 084 I used the other month still gives me a hard on thinking about it....but in reality I dont do enough really big timber to justify it and for smaller logs,less weight to handle,lift is advantage and will be more so as I get older.

395XP for the win. Thats a 42” bar. Was a bloody shame to see that tree go, but neighbour wanted it gone. We’ve just bought a couple brand new ones for the firewood side business. Heard the new ones are coming out but we just can’t go away from the tried and true.
Still got the original 066 Magnum which still goes like a dream.

In your second photo is that regrowth sprouting from the stump😊

Haha that’s my brothers regrowth. Doing what I think more kids need to do these days. Get out and about. Plus what kid doesn’t love a big bonfire at the end. Hard to beat tin foil wrapped spuds with butter in the embers and chasing the odd unfortunate scorched possum round.

They gotta be about the most dangerous thing around , the potential for disaster is enormous and some peeps are way to casual about them .

Yep, the wounds can be terrible as they don’t cut into flesh, they rip and tear.
The wounds need to be thoroughly cleaned and there’s a terrible scar.

A young fella here in our town got kick back and a permanent scar down his face. He wished he was wearing a helmet with shield which is something I have at the back of my mind when the saws come out

Finally did it… just added a Husqvarna 572 XP to the stable.

It’ll be a week or two before I get to use it properly but first impressions are good

didnt know about that one Norsk.....

my wee stihl has neat function..if the left hand opens,the piece opposite trigger lifts and also activates chain brake...the bit that sticks out top of handle...that alway has had to be pushed for trigger to work now has 2nd function...its plurry handy as chain stops straight away and doesnt roll around at idle ...it cant move untill handle is squeazed.

Had a lucky escape with my 2095 the other day. Managed to snap the pull cord so took it into a good Hastings saw shop. Wasn't just the cord- they discovered the ? pulley was split and no spares available in NZ. One was spotted in the US but we all know the delays and costs in that option.. Anyway, the tech worked out an equivalent part from something other than a chainsaw would work with a very minor mod. She's all sweet again now

251sc......up dated model from the 025 on my bench saw set up.

Wanted to be out hunting today, but no, winter is coming..... and about a hundred willows to be dealt to.

Pretty amazing stuff alright. It will grow into the ground if ya leave it lying on it. Want another willow tree just cut a branch and push it into the ground. The stock love it for its' painkilling abilities

The big Husky on the job again today


And then some locals got curious and annoying, wound up with about 30 of the bloody things before I knocked off. Had to check I didn't have a couple of them in my pockets before I left!


Going to be shit every where I'm working tomorrow goddamit!

RIP Husky. No one hurt apart from a bit of pride.
