Backyard Timber Adventure with Mustache Mike and a Stihl 044 chainsaw.

[@rileyjohnston8393]

No better sound than the rattling idle sound of an old 0 series Stihl. No computers, no sensors, just badass!

[@westcoastsaw1368]

Hard to beat

[@IRDeezlSmoke]

It's sad that so few people anymore can know the feeling of real and true brotherhood or team work. These videos go way beyond a couple of loggers tipp'n trees. The comradery shown here is long lost in most of so-called first world, society. I look forward to new videos from my subscribed logging channels more than any other topic or industry. It felt like this 25 minutes went by so fast. I could listen to those saws for hours and never get tired of it. Good running saws and of course well adjusted jakes from heavy loaded trucks.........🎵🎶

[@westcoastsaw1368]

Your right nothing better than a good day of physical work it’s a great feeling leaving a cutting job at the end of the day there is no better feeling 👌thanks for watching and the comment 🤝

[@iffykidmn8170]

I have all four of my original 044s bought new two 10mm and a few years later two 12mm, I know at the time of the 12mm upgrade they said they had issue with the 10mm but I never have.🤔IMHO still one of the best saws Stihl ever made.

Just got the bark box for my 661 and the 3 point dogs and absolutely love them.

MM & you work so well together, accurate, safe and still having a great time together! there is a tone of skills to properly fall a tree! especially when it is leaning in the wrong way! or the wind is blowing the wrong way. still being able to fall the tree accuratly!

Finding metal with your saw absolutely sucks.

044… cut a lot of timber back in the day with one of those! Great saws!

[@bbarker5766]

Thanks for the info about the crank sizes on the 044s! I've seen a few forsale that I'm considering getting.

[@davebumgardner6309]

I love them 044’s, I acquired 3 of them from Major League Baseball hall of famer Lee Smith down here in Louisiana.

[@jameshuckett4038]

The 044 was the first saw I ever ran back in the day. Not the best saw to learn on but it made ever saw after that seem like a toy. Just ordered some of your dogs and some swag. Keep up the good work men!

[@5525Mike]

I have an 036. Really rips. Great era for saws.

[@interiorurbanmining1155]

That 044 seems a little "hot" I approve!

Could you please do a video on how you guys prefer to paint your aluminum hardhats? I put a WCS suspension kit in an old BF McDonald I had, and it could use a little paint or powder coat

12mm

[@tomyousch7070]

Are you using skip or full comp chains, if you don’t mind. I see the trees are smaller . So I’d think full comp with those great running saws

[@westcoastsaw1368]

We are running full skip square grind

[@jakejones9160]

You should definitely do a tour of your shop, saws, trucks. It would be very cool to see

Good looking timber for backyard trees! They get cut up into firewood, or was there enough to send to a mill?

[@westcoastsaw1368]

Yes they went to the mill 👌

The bar seems to be doing well, but the tip did not hold up. I replaced it with an Oregon and everything’s good now.

[@YoutubeVideoChainsaw]

Good job

[@FellerCraftsman440]

On the tree Mike cut around the 7min mark, his back cut is sloped real low on one side. I there a purpose to that? Does it make the tree act different on the stump?

[@westcoastsaw1368]

It was a bad cut it sometimes happens when you back bar. If you push on the handlebars with the square ground chain, it will dive really fast and being lower than your back cut, makes it harder to hinge not a good thing

[@FellerCraftsman440]

@@westcoastsaw1368 Thanks for the knowledge

[@krisguttu1673]

Might be a reach but id love to come fall some timber with you and Mikey

[@dankrier6300]

What do you use on the end of your tape measure to hold it in place to make measurements? I enjoy your videos!!

[@westcoastsaw1368]

We have what they call a nail it looks like a little spike and you bend it over the tape in a L shape and just barely push it into the bark. That way you’re able to pull it out without breaking the tape but sometimes they get stuck if you push it in too far

[@jasonmichaeljimenez]

Typically a horseshoe nail that comes with the iconic Spencer logging tape. Bent around the rectangle end in the tape.

[@Huttify]

Has a jack ever jumped out of a tree, for you? It looks so unsafe to stand right beside it. Specially when the tree starts to move and the jacking continues, just to be sure.

[@westcoastsaw1368]

Never had a jack come out The only danger would be if the jack wasn’t deep enough into the tree and it will split out and the tree could set back hard and go over backwards but if you are following the jack with wedges the tree will set on the wedges and your safe I feel jacks are very safe because you have total control of the tree
