That 500 sounds sooo good at idle and in the wood...I could listen to it all day. Your skills, second to none! Great vid!!

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

Thanks 👍

[@stihlnz]

Of interest I just purchased a 500i to go with my 460's, 660, 880's ... was so intoxicated with BBR's machine noise I called up a guy who ported and had done over 200 saws and he asked me what I did with them ..I told him "just firewood... big Oldman pine " down here in NZ. He advised me not to go that road ... I've got a bark box ..big filter ..square ground ... He said it works great for forestry guy's walking between stumps but if I was just poring gas into a saw it would probably cook it and I'd get better life keeping it straight ... any comments ... BBR's saw sounds so hot.

[@EightWheelsRollin]

@@stihlnz Life is short and power saws sing when done right. That said, the 500i ain't cheap. Buckin' runs em' all, he would give you sound advice...

Been watching a long time and learned so much sir I appreciate you. I went for it recently and ordered a ripsaw 500i and holy moly you are right it is something amazing. I know you are a husky man and I luv em too but I’ve got more time with Stihl and this thing may be my new favorite. Thank you again for all you give. Also the time you spent with Scott from my home state of Oregon was fantastic.

[@brucebakke6742]

[@traviscore8681]

You running a 32" or 36"bar on that

[@sizemoretreeworks]

Fantastic vid, I believe the 500 is sloppy.(My go to saw) I had to upgrade the suspension and beef up the springs a bit. @topheavytimber has some details on the springs he runs. puts rubber hoses in them. I did the same, the saw is much better to run after that. The 500 is totally different after a port job from RIPSAW. Love their work. It does bark a bit from time to time but not like it used to. I'm having a similar experience. As always LOVE YA!

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

Groovy thx for that

[@monkamonk]

Wealth of knowledge well earned . Learn from every tree you cut they all are different.

[@darngoodday5933]

Believe proper forest management includes removing or control burning dead trees and debris. Otherwise huge uncontrolled forest fires will happen, just like what's occurring now in Canada. The off the shelf Stihl 500i doesn't require muffler mods, porting or tweaking. It's a beast on it's own.

Amazing how many restrictions the Canadians have on their chainsaws when you go test and what the inspectors/proctors can look for

[@shannonhelmers7373]

I believe you can change out some

[@ididiesel83]

That 500i seems awesome, but have you ever ran a standard 661?

[@MysticalDragon73]

I have a 661 and a 462 that I run weekly. I call the 661 bigfoot as I have a 36inch bar. We use it when needing to cut underwater or big wood. However it will tire you out quickly with its weight and power. The 462 with a 25" bar is my all day general use saw. I got to try a 500I for a couple days. Man I thought the 462 was nice till I got using the 500i. The instant power and speed of the 500i is impressive. All my saws are stock as I dont know of any saw shops to do porting etc in ohio. I'll likely be getting a 500i soon.

[@ididiesel83]

@@MysticalDragon73 It is a bit heavier and it depends on the situation you're in, but even in stock form the extra power it's got never gets old.

[@MysticalDragon73]

@@ididiesel83 a bit heavier? Try ALOT heavier. Yes its got alot of power, but at the cost of alot more extra weight. That extra weight and fighting the power tires you out far quicker than a 462 or 500I will. Especially for us since we are often in knee to hip deep water and fighting currents on top of using our gear. The 661 is a solid saw. However for all day use, the 462 and 500I is where its at.

[@ididiesel83]

@@MysticalDragon73I don't think it's that big a difference when they're both wearing a 36" bar, but I can see where it makes a bigger difference in your application.

[@MysticalDragon73]

@ididiesel83 5lbs might not sound like much but it's HUGE when using it all day long it amounts to alot. That's why I'll consider the 500i over the 462 since it's only 1/2 lbs heavier and one horsepower more with a stock saw.
