Cutting a log using my new Stihl MS660 chainsaw. Have it set up with a 36" bar in this video. It works very smoothly, and is a complete powerhouse. =D

  • Nice saw. Try to stand to the left side of saw bar while cutting. Yeah... there not much chance of kickback cutting that but one day bar nose might hit another log or something and you will wnd up wearing a 36'' bar in your face or neck.

  • @feefee76 I own and operate a tree service business, have cut thousands of pines...quite literally. Primarily as a climber.

    Started off that day cross cutting some large rounds that were still wet inside and found that the stringier chip was clotting up at the discharge end. Kept checking it.

    Thanks for the mention though =)

  • I have an MS 660 myself. It's scary powerful -- at least for a "weekend warrior" arborist/landscape guy like me. Your video is very well done. Helps me learn how to cut up a large, downed tree. Question: what was the wedge in place for. I'm sure there's a good reason, and I'd like to learn from you. Send me a note back if you can.

    All the Best,

  • @geoffreylnelson After you get about half way in, you wedge it using PLASTIC (not steel) wedges. They help to hold the kerf open. That way while you're cutting down through the lower section, the kerf doesn't close up on you. The wedges help to force the wood apart. Otherwise between the tension of the wood, or how the log is lying on the ground, the kerf can squeeze back together and trap your bar inside.
