STIHL MS 251 WOOD BOSS Chainsaw First Cut & Side Job

[@christaylor2354]

Glad he kept his guide dog well out the way while he butchered the tree with a blunt saw. Nothing was done right - is his pony tail part of the safety gear? Dreadful review of a good saw

[@barryg4927]

i noted the lack of safety in this immediately.

[@alexschooley3936]

Also, always do your bottom cut on the face first.. less likely to pinch the bar depending what kind of tree and degree of lean, but MAINLY because once that top cut is there its very hard to adjust your cut at all and ur pretty much stuck with it.. but also why you ended up so deep into the tree, and in all honesty especially trees as thoroughly dead as that one want a 1/3 in at most. Brings the risk of it barberchairing, or prematurely falling from lack of support before you even start the back cut. But at the end of the day your alive and the tree is down no damage caused so I mean you're not doing it wrong just miss matched order or simply lack of experience to know those little things... no offense genuinely, just trying to share some free knowledge.

[@robindthompson]

Always good to read the comments like this one I’m new to chainsawing and have an MS251 and we just got hit hard by 97mph winds in CO… been a learning experience trying to get trees off the power lines before they re-energized them

[@blueyhanson6253]

That is one very scary demonstration, think safe and live longer.

[@brianx2504]

I love that you have a disclaimer about safety gear in the description but couldn't be bothered to have any safety gear on. Not even earplugs.

[@barryg4927]

exactly! i'm just shaking my head.

[@NathansFerroceriumrods1]

Sawing is fun, it's the clean up that sucks. I did that last weekend with one of my trees.

Next time i will have to hire a few guys for that i was there all day. Any Fatwood?

[@justin8217]

Renaissance man it has to be dull. My 180 is faster than that

[@alexschooley3936]

False, factory chains are angle and height near perfect, now sharpness? Pretty bad honestly. 2 or 3 swipes make the world of difference especially with stihl chains.. and yes I understand its the safety chain and it does change slightly but not significantly like that, I only run safety chains on my climbing and ground saws and they work perfectly with just a little touch up..

no fatwood though...

Are you disappointed in it? I've got a cheap poulan walmart saw that cuts better than that when the chain is sharp. Thats a high dollar saw

No it gets the job. It has done better then any other saw i have owned including a poulan chainsaw. It will out cut that $100 saw. LOL at cuts better that is a joke

Great video hows it holding up? I think people down below don't realize wood type can vary on the speed of how everyones saw is cutting if i use that 251 saw in soft wood of course it would outcut the same in hard.

[@guns4funcajanajustin]

It is holding up well

[@TheWoodsman661]

A lot of people are being assholes about how you did this. The back cut should be even with the bottom of the notch, but any job you walk away from is a good one in the world of chainsaws, in my opinion that is.

[@A237turboMan]

Not bad but , sharpen chain , slow the rpm down , push a liitle harder , piece of advice , always have wedges and axe with you .

[@alexschooley3936]

Yes and no... yes a new chain is better but ive been doing this for a living for quite a while and you'd be amazed, at what 2 or 3 swipes with a file will do to a BRAND NEW factory stihl chain.. but I mean of course Oregon carbide chains are better... and he means use the teeth o. The bar more.. one the bar is 1/4 inch in just use one hand and lightly lift up/forward, will make the world of difference. Also decent job on ur face cut, but you should be cutting them in between waist and chest for multiple reasons, better visibility of cut, easier to watch the top and cut right before it breaks free, but MAINLY ur less likely to die of it barberchairs on you, also just easier on back.. but all around safer and I only have to ever cut 3-4 extra 16" rounds off the stump to bring it down.. hopefully this helped. Good job though sir.

[@Dinoxt12]

A-Man with a chainsaw all trees watch-out !!!

[@JAY-ROCK]

The technique was far from perfect & the saw doesnt suck, it has a anti kick rookie green chain on it, If you put the yellow aggressive chain on it, its a whole new beast...but you dont seem ready for a yellow chain judging by the way you handle the saw....also you better invest in a pair of kevlar chaps and a helmet because I can see a barber chair coming your way.

[@kyleBlittle]

Came across this vid since I too own a 251, and I'm just wondering....when you're making your horizontal cut, why aren't you utilizing that wrap-around handle? You'll get WAY better purchase on the cut, and more control. Chaps and ear protection are a good thing. Don't listen to these idiots who say they're "gay"...I think I saw in one comment. Anyway, I'm not trying to bust your balls, and I'm no expert....but I have done my research. Just trying to lend a hand. Don't need you meeting your dear and fluffy lord before your time, man!!
