Chainsaws NOT for Stump Removal! 🪓 🪓 🪓

[@rayvermette1500]

Great video some people like me might go ahead and use a chain saw anyway , I’ve been warned, great detail

[@gearhead366]

Also... if you overheat your chain, there's a good chance that you're overheating your bar, too. I recently bought a used saw. Was a great price, but it needed a chain and bar. The prev owner had overheated the chain & bar. He included a new chain. I bought a new bar, and now it's like a new saw.

I never thought of that, but it makes a lot of sense.

Would’ve been more feasible to go and rent a stump grinder from Home Depot 😊

[@CTSCAPER]

Absolutely!

John what a coincidence, I just ordered a 2 pack of 16" 3/8" .043 56t off of the "A" store.

Was that for your Makita? Looks like a nice saw.

[@MrBucidart]

Yes there are. I hired a tree company to take down a 50' California live oak and the trunk is about 15". It's time to test the Makita on something larger than 12". @@CTSCAPER

[@MrBucidart]

Typo, 25"

I bet it handles it with no problem. It's going to be a warm winter!@@MrBucidart

How do you clean the saw

[@CTSCAPER]

Clean the bar groove as shown in the video, compressed air over the saw, avoid the air cleaner, then a gently wipe down with simple green. I use the saw at most once a month but more like one or twice every 6 months. If I use it a few days I clean it off as I mentioned above before putting it away. I do my best to keep it out of the dirt and mud and I have a carry case if I put it in a truck to avoid bumps and bruises.

Thanks I'm 14 years old and I collect and work on chainsaws I have a couple Stihl 036s they are my favorite

[@markcotter4213]

I always burn my stumps

[@CTSCAPER]

I considered that but didn't think people going by would go for that.
