[@FrozenCrapholeDweller]

Had an 880 a few years back. It lasted me a whole month, even running their pre-mix. Welded the piston right to the cylinder. I couldn’t get any warranty help either. So that is the condensed version of how I bought my first Husqvarna 3120 and 372. Still running both. I have such a bad taste in my mouth about Stihl… don’t think I would take a free one after that deal. A $2000 power head should last more than a month, but because they deemed it commercial I was screwed.

[@thefirewooddoctor]

You should've had at least a 6mo warranty for "commercial" use. If going to burn up an expensive powerhead, might as well get the Farmertec-Holzfforma clone the 880.

[@FrozenCrapholeDweller]

@@thefirewooddoctor Pretty much all I got from Stihl was an empty wallet and the middle finger. It’s been many years and that saw has been in landfill for so long that it’s probably decomposed, so I’m not looking for anything from those people. They said that the failure was not attributable to a defect in materials or workmanship. Not sure what else it would have been attributable to. The good news is that I have run my Husqvarna 3120 constantly for more than 5 years now and find that it likes the higher revs better anyways. It is a monster and have even had my local saw shop do a couple of things to it. The owner of the shop can’t believe that a saw that big is my “daily driver” and wants a profit sharing with my chiropractor, but I don’t find that it bothers me.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Man, that is to bad, they should have done something for you! What is the name of the dealership, if you do and original post again, put it in there and tell 20,000 people on here!

[@FrozenCrapholeDweller]

@@InTheWoodyard I bought the Stihl 880 in question from what was then Triple W in Missoula, MT. They are a Stihl and John Deere dealership. They are now called RDO. I haven’t been back since I got hosed. I would definitely say that I am way happier with the Husqvarna saws I am running now. The shop I bought them from (Steve’s Saw Shop in Lolo, MT) actually knows what the hell they are doing.

Yes it was off just a smidge. I got home and set the specs back up and it is getting some work done on it as we speak. Just waiting on Stihl parts.

[@happycamper2976]

looks like the sthil 880 cuts fast

[@InTheWoodyard]

It should is is big!

[@craigwilson9560]

@Happy Camper, It will. Got to be careful!

[@Mainelywork]

🤘

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks!

[@jameschandler2776]

I have wanted to come visit you from Ohio but there is no way this old body works at -30 degrees. You are better men than I. Wood does spit easy at that temp.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes, cold makes the wood pop!

[@Lifeinthe906]

Your saws are gonna feel like feather weight after running that thing!!! GNI

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, that thing was insane!

[@craigwilson9560]

@Life in the 906, that 660 does feel a lot lighter once using it. It is weird. Picking up the 019t does not feel like anything is there.

[@keithgreen4877]

In those small rounds looks like your 572 is faster

[@InTheWoodyard]

It is not a fast saw, but it does have power.

[@craigwilson9560]

@ Keith Green, For speed, yes that 572 would have been way faster.

[@kennethcarlson8713]

To bad you didn't have any big wood to test on you'll have to bring it up here

[@lendevonuk5479]

Trouble is Kenny, you would want a 59 inch bar on that sucker!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, it is a big girls with wide hips!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup!

[@craigwilson9560]

@Kenneth Carlson, I am hoping to come to Midwest Firewood Frenzy II and or even that Logging event in Osh Kosh Or Green Bay.

0550hrs: Good morning Chris, from the Banana Belt (Central Texas) where long-underwear isn't to be found.

[@InTheWoodyard]

HA! We wear multiple layers here!

[@terrencewalker2108]

@@InTheWoodyard LOL!

[@craigwilson9560]

@@terrencewalker2108 I have not had to wear it around where i am from because we usually only have a few days that gets in the single digits. I wear fleece pants. when I got up there, I had to buy some. It was wicked cold, but if you dress for the weather, it made for a great day!

[@min-dakwoodhound7314]

Not even a challenge for that beast. Like cutting through pudding. I do seem to hear a touch of a miss in the motor.

[@InTheWoodyard]

It is a big one!

[@craigwilson9560]

@Min-Dak Wood Hound, you are right. I haven't met a round, that presents a challenge for it yet. Yes it was off just a smidge. I got home and set the specs back up. However if you watch the previous video, There was damage to the saw from the previous owner running it hot and running bad mixture of gas through it as well.

[@keenenator3093]

The saw is screaming alittle to much seems alittle lean just my opinion of course

[@InTheWoodyard]

Maybe so!

[@craigwilson9560]

@Keenenator, Yes it was. I had to make some adjustments when i got home, but I also have to rebuild it as well if you saw the previous videos. The previous owner ran it hot, and had a bad oil to gas mixture as well.

[@Sethhaun78]

Will say that wood is much easier than my tree removal wood .but mines free.with pay. But full of knots,unless it's red oak or stop sighn oak

[@InTheWoodyard]

I also get a lot of tree service wood too Free is good.

[@danahasson2892]

The 880 definitely Not for limming. Big wood only.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, real big wood!

[@fabioforni5722]

Could you explain how a youtube channel can generate income. And is the time trade off worth the amount of income you generate.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Look up videos about that on...youtube, they will tell you all about it. It would take me an hour to tell you.

[@thefirewooddoctor]

First!
