Stihl ms400c chainsaw will not cut metal 🙄

[@thetruthisoutthere1661]

Let me tell ya, I love using my metal detector to scan the tree base for metal objects before cutting. Costs a little bit of money, you need to read up on how to use them but I have saved a ton of money on scanning tree bases where I'm cutting. I've found everything from very small nails to huge fencing staples and a few trees on one area in Southern Arizona that was used for target practice with bullets lodged in them. It only takes a few minutes to ensure you are cutting through wood and nothing else.

For my big saws I use a full chisel but you’d be amazed at what a semi chisel will tolerate and still cut. I use that for all my medium saws.

[@viperstrike3827]

what brand?

[@allenlong3939]

I cut right beside a railroad spike in a large sweet gum. It severely hardened one side of the chain. I tried to save it but it was miserable to file that one side. I forgot and loaned it to a friend of mine who was an old school logger and he tried to sharpen it. We had a big laugh about it.

Just bought a MS400C w/20" b&c last week. Haven't been able to use it much. Too much in the woods right now.

Is that 400 stock or is it ported .. sounds strong.

[@THETATERGUNSHOOTER]

He’s just got a bark box on it.

[@peewee.3138]

It sounds like a Honda Civic with an apple juice can exhaust on it!

[@Firebird_876]

Bark Box muffler.

[@dutchdog804]

That 500 was eating boy!!!!!👊

[@rooster3019]

The only time (so far, knocking on wood) I have suffered an injury while chain sawing was due to misreading a stressed limb on a blow-down beech. As the cut neared finish, the limb triggerd toward me cutting the bottom of my right forearm in two places to the bone. It looked exactly like someone had slashed me with Crocodile Dundee's "knife" while I was trying to defend with the arm. I wrapped it with kitchen plastic wrap and black tape, ate dinner and wife drove me to ER for stitches were she was suspected of having slashed me. They finally believed me and sewed me up using the wrong kind of stitches which did not disolve after healing and had to be cut out a year or two later. Even an experienced cutter and misjudge those tensioned limbs!

[@rooster3019]

I hate metal in trees! When I suspect it I use an old chain or box store type chipper chain.. and keep my file handy..

[@zackwiebe4304]

That’s a nice saw you got there

How did I miss the power co. coming

[@russbyrd3221]

You're a good man and Logger. I always take the pressure off limbs so no one else gets knocked silly. Great Content

[@patkelly7999]

Good work Tim👌👍🙂

[@fibreguy1971]

If I were cutting into the brash like that I would use stihl duro chain. I save my regular chain for higher cuts. Good though. Metal and any chain though that's unlucky.

[@fibreguy1971]

I also put the bark box on my 500i. Wow what a improvement.

[@williamjordan5414]

That 362 with that size bar and chain was cutting good. Is it a 20"?

[@viperstrike3827]

I think it is an ms400.

[@williamjordan5414]

@@viperstrike3827 The one he started with was but when he hit the metal he switched to the 500i and the 362 I believe. I'm pretty sure on the largest pecan tree he was using the 500i to fell it and the 362 to trim it. I might be wrong though.

[@cotontop3]

362 has a 20” bar on it. I hit metal with 400 and 25” bar. Then did rest of cut down with the 500.

[@metlmuncher]

Nice work mang

[@brentmedders]

That first tree was a trifecta of bad stuff. Dead, rotten or hollow and loaded with metal.

[@Living-The-Dream]

You do such awesome work 🪵🤜🏼⛓🪚🤛🏼👍👏

[@dutchdog804]

Why did they take out the pecan trees? 😕. That's some damn good firewood. Are you going to split that up?

[@bobbygregory9842]

AWESOME!!! VIDEO!!!💯🌲💯🌲💯🌲❤️

[@HouseMastersTools]

Good work

[@Doogie_Causey]

I have a Stihl ms291 with a 20" bar. Them Stihl's are heavy

[@thetruthisoutthere1661]

Work out. Problem solved.

[@THETATERGUNSHOOTER]

Stihl is about as light as you can get man

[@Firebird_876]

A 291 will be heavier compared to a pro Stihl. A Stihl saw feels like a toy compared to the husky’s I run.

[@Doogie_Causey]

@@Firebird_876 I wanna get a smaller Stihl with a 14-16" bar for cutting & pruning smaller stuff. I'm not in the tree business

[@williamk.7129]

@@Doogie_Causey get a ms181. cheap, light, and will prune with a 16

You could call that 400 the angry beaver 🦫
