@@RichFife Yes they are. I’ve had this one a few years, cut some massive trees with it.

Thank you!

Yes it has. Me too. Some of the biggest stuff I ever cut was with another 044 with this very bar on it. The 70cc saws do pretty good with a 36 but, the chain cannot be too hungry or dull at all.

That makes sense. One of the best saws ever made!

Thank you

Én is szeretem az Sthil gépeket, nekem is van 1 db 064 av👍, 1db 038 av👍, 4 db 028👍, 1db ms 250👍Neked milyen géped vannak még? Üdv Zsolt🤗

The Stihl 044 is just about perfect! I can find less I don’t like about the 044 than any other saw made.

I would agree, quite possibly the perfect saw. My buddy has been running one for years with no issues, which is what sold me on the saw. Being that they were used extensively by fallers it's hard to find one in decent shape.

Those older huskies, (and Stihls) have cut a lot of timber in their day. It’s amazing how they just keep going. EVERYTHING was made to last then, unlike today.

I agree 100%. I love running and working on vintage saws. They were built to last like you said, and boy do they sound good!

The second one did. It was really tall, and the shot was really tight. I had it gunned to try to squeak it in between two trees, but it snagged on a small limb. And it did fall through on its own a little later.

No they didn’t. You never know how rotten they are inside. These trees get pounded by wind so the were stringier than I had anticipated.

Thanks!

Yeah, it bugs me when there’s an easy fix for something I didn’t know about.

My favorite guitar.

Thanks! It’s not an easy one to do.

Well, there are a couple of reasons; When falling/felling timber, safety glasses fog up on you, so that’s no good. I heard of a guy that lost his eye, due to the glasses getting busted when he got whacked by a limb. Probably would’ve just bruised him otherwise. The fallers glasses with the screens are what a lot people use. I grew up around old school loggers that cut the chain brakes off their saws, and wore nothing but a hard hard and gloves so safety wasn’t something that you were lectured about too often, not like it is today. I try to wear chaps and earplugs, (especially if on TH-cam) but I cut for years without any of it. But you never know when your number might, (but hopefully not) come up, so I try to reduce the chances of that anyway I can. All we can do is be aware of our surroundings, and be as safe as possible.

Yes it does! Thanks for watching.

Without being there I guess you assume they were all this high. The wrap handle only allows you to cut them so low. I normally do cut them a little lower, but the chain was grabbing bad enough as it was. This tree was close to the edge of the line and next to a leave tree, so a stump like this wouldn’t be driven over much if any. Even some trees on the edges cut with feller bunchers, (like a double) can have stumps a lot higher than this.

Ok​

Thank you!

Thanks

Thank you

Me too, they’re tough ol’ saws. Fast too!

Thanks, I try.

Yes it was. Happy new year!

Oh yes, I got this saw brand new in ‘07, for years we would cut and split firewood and give it away to the elderly that burned wood in the neighborhood, and for our own house, as well as the heater in the shop. So this saw was run pretty much daily for six months out of the year. I’ve cut big Oak firewood that I couldn’t reach the middle cutting all the way around with an 18” bar. Well, they were big for this saw anyway. (45cc’s) I’ve even used it logging for limbing and bucking logs. I’ve also used it for cutting around the house, trimming ATV trails, hunting & habitat work, fruit orchards, carpentry, and anywhere else I needed a chainsaw. Over 15 years of cutting and the only thing I’ve had to do to it is general maintenance. I’ve NEVER run any Stihl or Husqvarna or anything that was any better than this saw has been. Most definitely underrated!!!

@@scottw.2450 my 50cc Echo is quickly becoming one of my favorites.

Definitely some nostalgia with this model saw.
