I Bought a Chainsaw! (Husqvarna 440e)

[@EV1926-GRC]

You did really well for a first timer , good video 👍

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Thank you 😁

[@patmason7276]

Have the older version but great saw been using for 5 years only problem is the case leaks chain oil and have to learn choke start process. A little hard to start at times but one hell of a saw. PS. get you a skip tooth or none safety chain will cut alot better just keep your RPM up to avoid kick back. Also use stihl synthetic oil when you mix your own.

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Thanks for the insight!

[@MegaNbaboy]

nice unboxing! i have the same chainsaw 4 years now, still going strong!

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Good to know it should last me a while!

[@greenmarine5]

Just bought this saw at the end of 2020 and downed 9 large dead standing ash trees, cut them up and yielded about 11 face cord after splitting. The saw never failed me once and go figure I bought it from Lowes the store everyone hates to love. Next year I'm buying the 450, only because I have some really big Oak and Maple trees that need to come down. It's going be nice for my children to watch a new forest to grow in it's place, with fresh new trees. Laughing at him cutting off the Bar/chain protector when it simply slides off..:-)

Sometimes we do things the hard way!

[@erike7297]

Lol @ the comment about how that tree coulda killed him. Sometimes when i cut trees like this i just cut 95 percent and push the tree over in the direction i prefer it to go its so small. There has to be atleast a few critics on every chainsaw video talking about how the guy nearly killed himself just by picking the saw up and cutting a few twigs.. lol

[@erike7297]

@Brotherman Bill haha right on

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Yes - always

[@timothykaminski1632]

Your lucky you’re not dead! You should have watched how to fell a tree first.

[@weatherman8123]

I don't think that little tree was gonna kill anyone. 😂😂

[@weatherman8123]

@@timothykaminski1632 18 years military. Lol. Done that twice. Still here buddy.

[@chrisdihrberg747]

The way he was going with the saw he would be more likely to cut himself . Not much to worry about with a tree that small as far as falling it . I hope you were kidding , I got a little chuckle with that .

[@kenjett2434]

I was and still a professional tree feller and all I can say they are alot of arm chair experts. It does not take a very big tree to be dangerous or kill you. This tree was plenty big and heavy enough had it barberchaired or kicked back. Just a small dead limb coming loose while cutting and falling on your head can kill.. I have seen more than my share of bad accidents with people who think they can run a saw. I am retired these days but I still get people that call me when they have a dangerous tree no one else will cut. Because I have the experience and specialized in directional felling.

[@steviegenoski9977]

I'm no lumberjack but you probably should have watched a few youtube videos on proper chainsaw use before you went ham on that tree.

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Good idea.

[@janeth4121]

Is that the tree you buried?

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Yes - though I didn't bury all of it. (Yet)

[@IsmaelG81]

safety first....

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Safety always...

[@g7mks383]

Its amazing you still have all of your limbs or are not dead. You have around 1 minute if you put it through your Femoral Archery. You are not above not using safety Trousers , Boots and Gloves on. You do not get a second chance with a Chainsaw.

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Thanks for your concern. I will take more precautions next time.

[@chrisurbanski2616]

You had me scared watching you cut that tree lol. I honestly have to say, I wouldn’t want you working next to me in the forest.

[@RedfernFoodForest]

I've heard that before...

[@TheLandbo]

I get a stomach ache when I see an amateur try and cut down a tree that way. Lucky the tree was not bigger as the person could get really horribly injured or even die if ...... Would highly recommend Redfern Food Forest a course in tree felling before starting that chainsaw again.

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Thanks for the concern. What do you recommend to be safe next time?

[@TheLandbo]

@@RedfernFoodForest Oh it's hard to sit here and teach remotely, but if you do not try and fell a tree that has a larger trunk diameter than your sword is far/long where you cut and use the first felling method described in the video in the link from that time it starts, you avoid the worst traps. I would recommend afterwards that you watch the entire video several times, in order to learn the basic rules of using a chainsaw safely. Good luck. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqCYdZmhfaebqsk

He cut the dog leg off to get some practice by the video🤣😂

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Perhaps

[@robertjenereaux4488]

I have this one, worst saw I have ever owned! I had a $100 MAC the was way better than this piece of junk.

[@RedfernFoodForest]

What made it so bad?

[@robertjenereaux4488]

@@RedfernFoodForest Changing the blade for the first time didn't push the handle, my fault but poor design . I have owned it for 12 years hardly ever use it. Had it in the shop 3 times $75 a trip. just bogged down. I believe it was running on one cylinder, can't remember if it was carb or what. I paid up thinking it would be maintenance and trouble free easy to work on. It seem like every time I pick it up there's an issue. Cheaper saws run better easy to change blades and if they don't, just get a new one, still cost less. Oh and constantly leaks bar oil. Not a good saw for a home owner or someone that doesnt use it much. It needs to be run all the time.

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Good information to know.

[@james.kayaks]

@@robertjenereaux4488 There's a reason it seems like it was running on one cylinder...
