Testing out my Cousin's New STIHL MS 311 on some Red Oak!!!

[@michaelwhiteoldtimer7648]

nothing like a new saw, glad to see the log rolling competition. WOOOO

[@OutsidewithScheib]

Lol yeah my uncle tried to knock the beer of the one and it went from there lol

[@catsgillhillbilly]

Now that's getting it done. Great cutting!

[@OutsidewithScheib]

Thanks Catskill

[@daveabercrombie3446]

That 311 is a nice saw. Awesome wood! As you said it would've made some nice boards but it'll keep you warm. It looks like it warmed you guys up already! Great video.

[@OutsidewithScheib]

Yeah it was a little warm a little sweat equity never hurt anyone.

[@johnalbrecht7850]

Looks like the MS311 has got some power💪 you keep scoring big oaks you will be the next one looking for a dump trailer.

[@OutsidewithScheib]

The saw did alright but I wasn’t overly impressed with it but it still need broke in and he purchased a 20 inch bar so it should run better with that.

[@rockybrown7713]

All that firewood is getting you in shape my friend.

[@OutsidewithScheib]

Yeah I think I may have lost a few pounds lol but I will gain it with all the beer that has yet to be drank lol

[@healyfamily4]

Always better to be working with someone that you have a common interest with! Your cousin’s saw works great! Keep choppin’

[@OutsidewithScheib]

Yeah he’s been cutting off and on still has a bit to learn but don’t we all.

[@kevinmason3086]

I bought a ms250 with a 18" bar about 9 years ago. Then decided to buy another saw this year I was thinking about getting a ms311 but decided I needed more power so I went with a ms391 with a 25" bar big difference and very happy with the choice I made.

[@larrykluckoutdoors8227]

Nice oak there. I thought about a 311, but I went with the Echo 590. Love the t shirt

[@OutsidewithScheib]

I am possibly looking at the 500I

Good job knocking out that red oak 💪 some great looking firewood out if that.good workout for sure. Whooo!

Yeah it was pretty steamy out there again this humidity just won’t go away.

Nothing like 2 saws buzzing away!! That 311 did a nice job 👍!! Stay safe!!

[@joef338]

Cool Video Scheib!!

[@OutsidewithScheib]

Thanks Joe

[@chuckwagon7171]

I've got a echo cs-400 with 18" for smalls, a Ms 311 with 20" for the in between and a ms661cm with 25-36" for the large...amazing combo for a part time logger/homeowner/firewood guy. I'd buy all 3 anyday with the same to replace if I ever had to....I like the echoes 5 yr warranty but their big saws are a little lack luster. The cs-400 is a hell of a saw for its size and weight though

[@motomikebuilder]

In Ca. those will be disqualified soon...so I bought one. the dealer has one left and no more. I'll be testing it out tomorrow on Coastal Oak, down for 2 years. Not many folks from the Oakland area gather downed Oak in the hills....that means there is Hella

[@chrisfoltz7028]

Awesome video you rock bud slam a few more beers down.

[@OutsidewithScheib]

Thanks Chris definitely will slam a few it’s been hot and humid here all week.

[@tombryan720]

Great work Scheib!! I love running my big saw but little huskey 450 has it's merit. Although with big red oak like that the 395xp would be the tool for the job. Great video!

[@OutsidewithScheib]

Thanks Tom I am thinking of a 461

[@cvmikeray2]

I have the MS311, great saw. I was able to use the dog I took off of my MS661 that I used on my Lewis winch on the MS311 with a very slight filing of the edge. Way bigger than the stock MS311 dog. Im workin on a video now showing the MS311 with a 36 inch bar.

[@OutsidewithScheib]

36 inches I’d like to see that!!!

[@georgedavall9449]

@@OutsidewithScheib “ That’s what she said !!! “ 😯🙄😀😂👍✌🏻

[@gboz4245]

That saw seemed to be a performer in the hard wood! I’d be content with that result. Quality saws and cord wood !

[@OutsidewithScheib]

It did ok I wasn’t overly impressed he purchased a 20inch bar so we shall see how it runs with that.

[@armandshighlife]

Was just looking at the 311 a few days ago, will have to give a update down the road on how she holds up.

[@OutsidewithScheib]

Will do man definitely be seeing it again that’s for sure still in the break in period so we were kind of babying it a bit I am sure it will run slightly better once it broke in he is going to get a 20 inch bar and see how it runs with that also.

[@ChosenOne9387]

I love my MS 311 👍💪🙌

[@ihfarmer2456]

Love the sound of Stihl chewing up big wood. Whooooooo

[@mikeglinski9439]

Nice cutting Scheib & cousin !

[@Back40Firewood]

Now that's a pack of Wood Hounds gettin after it if I've ever seen one!!! Holy moly ya got a LOT of wood there...do ya have to huff it all out to the edge? That saw was runnin nice! 😀👍🍻

[@OutsidewithScheib]

Yeah I’ll get the gator up in there and just load it onto the truck from the gator. The saw did alright but I think it will do better once it is broken in a bit more. He purchased a 20 inch bar the other day so it should run better with that.

[@bigbear568]

Awesome video Scheib. Glad your cousin got a new 311. Stay safe and keep up the great work. Now the second phase is splitting and a whole lot of stacking...be blessed buddy

[@OutsidewithScheib]

Splitting stacking and drinking lol all good things!!💪🏻💪🏻🍺🍺

[@HotRodDave]

That maybe my next saw. I have a ms 440 and a ms 180. I love the 180 it is great on small stuff and light and was cheap .

[@meestabeck]

I love my 311. Great saw with a 24" (if you know how to cut wood, and keep a sharp chain). I use a cheapo Ryobi 16" 37cc for my limbing and small cuts (super lightweight, and a good inexpensive little saw for little projects). Of course, I upgraded that Ryobi to an Oregon bar and chain to make it work well. But I digress. I am not a brand specific kind of guy when it comes to saws. I have used Husqys, old Homelites, and a few others. A nearby neighbor of a property that my father and I share saved the day with his 36" bar Husqy that made short work of a diseased 100+ year old hardwood smack dab next to our cabin (much love to Oregon State Forest Service members). I choose this particular Stihl because I wanted to to go one model higher than my Father's 291 with a 24" bar. It is way too much fun to ask him if he needs a little more 'oomph' when he is sawing (while I am offering him to use my 311). Whatever saw you choose to take home, just remember the mantra of wise men everywhere. 'She is a fickle bitch. You have to learn just what she wants. Just what she needs, even if she will never articulate that fact to you. Use your Zen power, and figure out what she needs to be happy and grind hard. She will never tell you, so you had better figure that out for yourself. If you can unlock that mystery, she will stay by your side forever, and never let you down'.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Looks like some great firewood! I have run into a dry spell finding quality stuff like that. Oh but I will💪 !!

[@OutsidewithScheib]

Yeah this kind of just fell in my lap lol trees already down just buck it up and go lol can’t beat that.

[@JoesFirewoodVideos]

I believe the 311 is a homeowner saw? It cut that oak pretty darn good. You guys did good job eyeballing those blocks 16”. Nice big wolf spider 🕷 on the edge of the first log.

[@OutsidewithScheib]

Yeah it’s a farm and ranch saw just the 290’s slightly larger brother.

[@JoesFirewoodVideos]

Good, them homeowner saws are ok for someone in the suburbs who have a small branch that falls in their yard.

[@georgedavall9449]

Yeah, Scheib shoulda have put a cam in the spiders legs, good close up and unusual angle?! 🤔😁😂🤣👍✌🏻

[@georgedavall9449]

I believe it’s a little more than a ‘homeowners saw,’ there Joe baby! 🤔🙄🙄😁😂✌🏻

great saw action, bur whats better is the wood, talk about a honey hole, that is real premium. good cutting.

[@OutsidewithScheib]

It is some really nice oak it’s a shame would have made some nice flooring for someone but it will keep the house warm that’s for sure.

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

Not bad for the 311.. Can't go wrong with sthil equipment..

[@OutsidewithScheib]

Yeah I have been looking into a 462 or 500I

[@michaelfarquharson3919]

I like this kind of stuff

[@sawsurgeon]

Great score Scheib👌🏼. The 290 made a strong showing 💪🏻 the 311 seemed a bit timid pulling that much chain😳. A 70cc saw is a great combo with that bar. I think you’re gonna love your next purchase😎. I know you’ve been mulling it over. I run a 28” on my 272 and it definitely makes me smile💪🏻. You’re often in material which would make a pro saw purchase worthwhile. Blessings Bro, Woooooo!💪🏻🪓🦅🇺🇸

[@OutsidewithScheib]

Yeah I have been looking that’s for sure been mulling over the 500I the last few weeks.

[@sidstimeoutdoors2782]

Nothin' like team work. One day I ho po ecbe able to afford a Stihl, but until then the Husqy 450 will do. Another great video brother. Stay safe and stay positive ❤

I have a Ms 311 and go back n forth between a 20 and 25 inch bar it pulls the 20 no problem but i feel like it struggles with the 25 in big wood

I feel it would make that 20 inch cut like a banshee it does seem a little weak with the 25 inch. Thanks for stopping in bud.💪🏻💪🏻🍺🍺 ps I got you package the other day I haven’t opened it yet!!

[@MercyMinister]

I see that you don't wear protective gear when using a chain saw. You must have a very good reason for doing so.

[@OutsidewithScheib]

No good reason thats for sure I have the gear though.

[@harlowkinney8206]

Have u ever tried the 462 cm ? If u ever get a chance to u will love it

I see you guys did some downhill logging. Did you use the magnet measurer on the 1st log? You had quite the team there.

[@OutsidewithScheib]

Yeah I measured before the cutting started sure don’t take long to cut when you have a good system going.

Can you put a link to the measuring stick I can't seem to find them. Thank you. Been working on a big red oak myself 32 inches across at the butt end and I use a MS 290.

311 or 261 ??? Honest advice, planning to buy one! I thank you in advance Gunter

[@OutsidewithScheib]

if you are really thinking about upgrading I would look at the 400c I know its $200 more then what your looking at. But if the 400 isn't in your budget I would go with the 311.

[@tomkerrigan3020]

Did you add bar oil and gas as needed? When I run my 311 at high speed I have to keep adding bar oil so the bar won’t get too hot. Is the wood you are cutting fairly soft or hard? Thx

[@OutsidewithScheib]

Have you tried turning your oiler up. I haven't had a problem this was red oak we were cutting.

[@martinv.-]

Honest opinion, I think the 311 would run better with a 20in bar. Otherwise, it's roughly the same as the 290/291.
