STIHL 500I, 32” light bar in fresh RED.

[@refixed]

I have the same saw with the 32", it rips! and no bending over lol

[@CabinRidge]

Yes sir !

[@jonnychavez1879]

Best saw out there!! I love my 500i!!

[@CabinRidge]

Stihl nailed it for sure 💪🏻

[@famasmaster2000]

Awesome wood weapon, good video 👍

[@CabinRidge]

Thank you !! Everytime I fire it up I fall a little more in love with it ❤️

[@McTree2013]

How do you like those clogger jeans? Do they run pretty hot?

[@CabinRidge]

I’ve only worn these a few times just in the winter but pretty comfortable ! I think they would get a little warm in summer though.

[@canuck7268]

Is that a full house chain or full skip? I been looking at a 500i. 80cc saw stalling like that in little wood doesnt look good on it though. Anything done to it?

[@CabinRidge]

That’s a full house chain but the rakers are filed to far down ( more for soft wood ) if you have your rakers right for hardwoods you can dog in no problem, my favorite chain for that saw is a skip tooth, it’s become my favorite falling and bucking saw, they shine in big wood.

[@CabinRidge]

Sorry missed that last question, I have a fellers suspension kit , max flow air filter and a bark box installed. Stock cylinder and piston for now. I plan to build my OE372 one of these days , I want to do a 86cc build for it

[@jamesmac4447]

Naw I take the 661 over this or the 462r

I bought the husqvarna 585 with a 32 inch X-tough bar. It’s like 19 lbs and using it for more than 3 hours at a time was exhausting. Plus the balance point was tip heavy as you would suspect. I ordered this bar and had to fit it to my saw but I loved it so much I just ordered another one! Definitely the only bar I’ll own until they come out with a better one in 10 years….. My only complaint is on both Stihl bars on the bottom, the look slightly wavy or bent. They cut just fine but it looks like a machining issue. When I lay them on my flat workbench and tap on the bar in random places, there is a slight wobble but nothing that makes me not want to use them.

[@CabinRidge]

I feel you ! I have a husky 32 and 24” light “ bar but nothing really light about them lol I fitted a 28” stihl light to my old 372 and just love it, I haven’t modified my 32” to go on my 592 yet but I thought about buying a Tsumura for it. Makes such a huge difference at the end of the day, it’s nice being able to lift your arms to eat a sandwich halfway through the day !

[@canuck7268]

I'll give you that. The 592 is chunky. I got a 592 xpg with wrap and west coast kit. Love the saw. Got a 42 on it right now and it's never complained. It ain't light though 😂

[@CabinRidge]

Naw she ain’t light for sure but dang does she eat !! Lol

[@LahungIng]

Good job man, nice too mide you from Indonesian

[@CabinRidge]

Thank you sir !

[@Mightycaptain]

Yeah. I’m going to have to go 32. Buckin has it right I think.

[@CabinRidge]

Yeah buddy it’s a game changer for sure, that ole buckin knows a thing or two about a thing or two !

[@anthonycengia6593]

I thought it was just my saw that stalls through a cut, but yours is doing it too. There's little to no torque in the 500. It's a bit better with a 20" bar

[@CabinRidge]

That was error on my part, I had a chain on with low rakers for soft wood, that red oak stops just about anything in its tracks lol interesting though, I haven’t noticed any lack of torque issues with my 500 other than how fat it likes to run till it’s it large wood, can be annoying for sure !

[@buroakenthusiast6107]

rippin!

[@CabinRidge]

Yes sir she eats ! Lots of smiles per gallon 👍
