@michaelbradley770 Ай бұрын

If your just cutting firewood it makes no difference if your using green or yellow chain as long as its the same cutter. Full and semi chisel are available on both. Stihl also offers a green or yellow bar. The green bar has a smaller diameter tip to help prevent kickback even more. The only difference the green and yellow chain makes is your ability to efficiently do plunge and bore cuts

@hometowndiy9109 Жыл бұрын

Stihl offers both the green and yellow chains in RS and RM. cutting speed is effected 100% by the cutter style and NOT the raker. The raker is a depth gauge and is set to the same dimension regardless of yellow or green. There for among comparable chain pitch and gauge, you are essentially taking the same size “bite”. RS vs RM is also what determines how long it will hold an edge for, again, not yellow vs green. Yellow will plunge cut better then green. I have so many customers that come in wanting a yellow chain because “green chains are junk”but have no clue of the difference between RM and RS. Sorry but I really wished you did this test with both RM or RS. I bet you would see much more similar cutting times.

Ty very much for the upload and doing the comparison. Awesome time stamping and links etc. Much appreciated. Fair tests should control variables but a little lack of control in this one allowed the kick backs on the yellow chain in the big log, which made it cut slower than the green and possibly showed how a powerful saw is needed if using full chisel chain. If the large diameter log was trimmed to allow the bar to go through in one smooth cut then the yellow might still have been slower. I say this because a forester's vid basically said full chisel needs a 70cc saw to pull the more aggressive full chisel. MS 290 is about 55cc so it had enough power in the smaller log but perhaps not in the 20" plus log. I use a 291, 20" bar, .325 semi chisel in various Australian hard and soft woods, green and dry. 290/291 is a versatile saw. Cheers Sincerely d

@oby-1607 2 жыл бұрын

Chain speed is what does the cut. Less load on the engine with the green chain therefore faster cutting speed. With the 9 inch log the yellow won because the bar wasn't fully loaded and more aggressive cut. If your chain stalls in the cut while cutting the log then you don't have enough power. 029 Stihl is a great firewood saw.

yeah, i was also thinking about the temp of the saw- for example, the first 9" he used the green chain to cut it right? so the saw was at temp for sure by the time he got to the yellow. however, if the times are really that close, no sense in taking the risk of the harder kick back . ( imo) i really saw the saw jump with that yellow on the second pass of the big log. However, it was awesome video, thanks for your observation.

I have a 20" bar on my ms291. Never had any issues- save that apparently I can't sharpen worth a damn... Cutting semi dry Ash, and older Honey Locust. Both of which are hard on teeth... I did just buy an 18" as a second bar, in case I get really stuck. We'll see if and how that changes the saw's performance. Cutting in piles, I worry about how much of the bar is sticking out beyond the log- and what it might be contacting... I do have a second saw with a 16" bar, that seems to cut faster in this wood. It's chain is also narrower, so the saw isn't cutting as much wood. It's only issue is that it's battery powered, so the big logs drain the battery quickly. Those colored master links are a stroke of genius! They make it way easier when sharpening to determine where you started. I have to use a sharpie on my other saw.

@PurpleCollarLife 2 жыл бұрын

I worry about that same thing with the longer bar - what else am I cutting into? The ground, another limb of the tree, a rock. So I intend to use the longer bar only when needed on the bigger rounds. Other than that, I'll switch back to the 16" or 18" bar for bucking up the smaller trees. Thanks for watching!

That saw has the power for a full chisel chain. He needs to tweak the carburetor a little. I've got the same saw. And maybe open the muffler up a little, that's what I did and it made a huge difference. You can also buy a kit to make it an 029 Super. Easy to do, the kit comes with a new head and piston. And essentially what it does is change it from an 029 to a 039. It's such a popular upgrade that they gave it it's own name, 029 Super.

@pdevonport7266 8 ай бұрын

No, no no one is a full chisel chain and other one is a semi chisel chain. The anti-kickback is only effective at the tip of the chain when it rounds the tip is where you get a kickback. The second Raker on the low kickback chain is there to hinge upwards as the blade rounds the tip to prevent the chain grabbing the timber and causing kickback. The semi chisel chain is better at cutting longer because it is very forgiving but is a bit slower than a full chisel as a full chisel relies on its sharp point which can be easily dulled. Also, you cannot plunge cut effectively with a low kickback chain.I would just use a straight semi chisel it has less kickback because it's less aggressive and also better for a lower powered chainsaw especially if you're trying to use a longer bar rather than using the more aggressive full chisel.

@cameronknoechel9767 7 күн бұрын

Thank you for explaining it properly. I was going to if no one else did. You're exactly right about the safety chain only being effective on the tip of the bar. The tip accidentally brushing against something unexpectedly while cutting is where your going to get a kickback 9 times outta 10. In my experience you're best bet is to keep a firm grip on your saw always. After a long day of cutting I sometimes find myself not holding the saw as firm as I should and that's when it will get you, when you're tired, not paying attention and think you're a pro. I've got the same exact saw he is using. It's what I learned on. My dad bought it new in 1992, and that saw still cuts great. I've cut more wood with that saw than I can even say. Last year I got it's little brother 028 wood Boss it's an early 80s model barely broke in. Still got the original bar and chain on it and the bar looks brand new. They don't make em like that anymore, I love that saw. It seems to operate at a higher rpm. It keeps up with the farm boss and the farm boss has a little bigger motor. I could be wrong but I think the wood Boss is around 50cc and the farm boss is around 60cc. Another awesome saw is the Echo Timber Wolf 590 I've had one a couple years. Awesome saw. And I have an Echo CS 370 I've had that one 16 years and cut a bunch of wood with it and I mean a bunch. Still runs great, very reliable. Echo's are extremely underated. 400$ for a new Timber Wolf, you can't beat that price with a stick and there better made than the new Stihl's at least the residential one's.

@@erike7297Eww man avoid hitting the dirt at all costs. If it's unavoidable I would recommend keeping a chain just for the dirt jobs and if you can afford it a dedicated bar just for dirt. I love running my saws and I like keeping them razor sharp. Every tank of gas I touch them up with a file. 2 or 3 strokes, that makes all the difference when cutting. Whenever I accidentally hit the dirt it dulls my chain almost instantly. A good thing to get if you have to hit the dirt from time to time might be a carbide tooth chain. There more expensive but can take more punishment. I'm pretty sure that's what a lot of fire departments run on there saws so they can cut through roofs, walls, drywall, and other things. I'm not sure what a good brand for a carbide chain would be but for a regular wood chain I always go with Oregon, they are just as good as Stihl chains and a lot cheaper. A KZbin channel called "Project Farm" does a really good comparison video with chainsaw chains. Oregon came out on top. And he also did a comparison on bar oils and the cheap no name brands out did the name brands like Stihl and Husqvarna

But my best conclusion even after taking it to a stihl dealer and he was not sure either but thought it to be a 038 but I found that was wrong to and seems to me it's an 034. Got it running good once but allowed a guy to use it and returned it where it would not run ay all. So now I got it completely broke down so I am just going to try to rebuild it all as a 034. One sticker shows 311y chain cover shows 021 but carb and filter and design of Chasey appears to be an 034 so I am just kind of stuck with that.

This is a match between semi chisel and full chisel chains. The chain character difference between the low kickback chains, is an extra bumper. The extra bumper has less of a tendency to grab as it moves round the tip. Though the green chains are less likely to kickback, this is not guaranteed. Plus the extra bumper makes the chain less suitable for plunge/boring cuts. The answer to minimising the likelihood of kickback. Is training, knowing where the upper quadrant of the bar’s tip is in relation to solid matter and or potential pinch-points. The text on the yellow chain box, states that saws under 3.8 cubic inches. (3.8 cubic inches = 62.2708cc.) So Stihl is saying the likes of their MS291, MS271, MS260, MS261, MS362; Husqvarna 550XP, 560XP, 562XP; Echo CS-501SX, CS-621SX must all be used solely with green/low kickback chains.

Maybe she got the danger notice but didn’t ask when I had her order my new first aid clip on bag complete with tourniquets, heavy dressings and quick clot. Safety First!
