We finished cutting wood for the year which is sad 😢 and we live in Australia and winter is from June through to August and looking forward to cutting wood next year in late April 🎉
Black locust is my favorite firewood ! Burns nice and hot and maintains the best red hot coals for up to 10 hours later . And hey Joe we have all had to crap on a tree or 2 to keep from shitting our pants . Great video
I’ve never broken in a Stihl chainsaw, other than taking it off the shelf and full throttle work mode after. All 4 saws from the ‘90s, 2 from the 80s, still run strong. No methods of break in were used by me, suggested or not.
I was hoping that you were going to discuss how to break in a new saw, not just a saw run pretty much flat out without stopping to check chain tension (new chains do stretch, even if they are supposedly "Pre stretched" from new) they also loosen up when hot. There was no mention of oil mixture for a new saw, I'm sure I read somewhere that you should run a little more oil for the first couple tanks. Also after your saw has been under load for a while it is best to let it Idle so the fan can help cool down the motor rather than shut it off straight after being under load. Great hearing protection & eye protection. Good judgement in the first few cuts where the wood was under compression, you pulled the saw out just in time to avoid getting it stuck and then giving it a slight touch on the tension which was enough to separate it.
Mountain Man 17 your probably right never thought about that when I buy a new saw make them give me the good chain but I don’t like the chisel chain here in Missouri seems to hard to sharpen I just run straight stihl stock chain
Joe's Firewood Videos I run the 460 and 461 hard... picked up this guy and it runs way better than I expected ... it really wants run, definitely a good addition to my system; this will be my limbing saw... work real fast and not get burnt out while doing it
@@JoesFirewoodVideos i’m gonna try to. I work at landscaping and there’s a stihl dealer we go to on a fairly regular basis. So I’m gonna get me one with an 18” bar. I also hear that there’s a bearing underneath the drive for the chain that needs to be greased.
Hey joe I’m fairly new to your channel, going back and watching old videos because I can’t get enough.. love watching you guys work. Is mike family or just a friend?
My late uncle sold a lot of wood in his day also worked in the lumber woods. I’ll quote him lol: He said if a chainsaw lasts over two years you didn’t use it lol.
In Europe price Stihl MS 391 is 549 euros,40 cm long chainsaw bar, i will buy one,how much is in us? what is size chainsaw bar? locust is hard wood like oak
Probably the dumbest way I've ever seen to break in a new saw. You probably already scorched the cylinder wall. For those that don't know, always let your saw idol for about a minute before you rev the rpms. You want to let the cylinder and the cylinder wall get to the same temperature before putting it under stress.
Joe's Firewood Videos just because it’s in between homeowner and pro saws doesn’t mean it’s got the same power and torque as a pro saw a 362 is a few cc’s smaller than the 391 but it’s got way more power than the 391
instruction manual says not to run the product at full throttle for the first 2 to 3 tanks of fuel mix. Why is this? This can cause internal engine damage. STIHL recommends that you do not run your engine at wide open throttle without a load. A blower is under a load at all times, a trimmer is under a load as long as the trimmer head is in place and the line is to the correct length. A chainsaw is under a load when the bar and chain are in a cut. says stihlusa
@@JoesFirewoodVideos i didnt break in any saw,iam just loking for some recomendations, my chainsaw oleomac 2.5 kw did stop work after three years cutting firewoods,once a year 4-5 hours cut, loks like overheated or wrong fuel,piston broken says mechanic,repair cost nearly 300 euros,i think is not worth to pay and better is buy newone,probably ms 391 pily.heureka.sk/stihl-ms-391/specifikace/#section
A chain bar will cut 2 and 1/2 times its length. Longer bar means higher risk of kickback and especially with a powerful saw like this. Added to this no PPE absolute madness. Remember a chain doesn't cut it rips
@@JoesFirewoodVideos lol good point. I just barely convinced my dad to let me keep my ms 391 if i got the hard hat and chaps. I don’t blame him because chainsaws are dangerous, but i do think he was being a little overprotective
This is "properly break in a brand new saw" ? I think its a joke. Read the manual pls sometime. Or at least change the title. People with no knowledge are watching this video too.
Wow .... Perfect example of how not to use a chainsaw , glad you have gloves on at least case you break a nail ... gezzzzz . If ya can afford a saw ... buy some safety equipment and use it ... please!!!

I’ve had a ms391 with 20” bar for about four years Joe. It’s a great saw. I must have cut over 300 ton of wood with it. 👍🍻
Make sure you keep that bearing under the clutch sprocket greased!
Good Bush saw hope mike likes his new toy that was some knarly hardwood !
I knew he'd enjoy that 391. He'll really love it in a few tanks, there will be no games!

Whete is your protective gear when running a chainsaw?
What are you the #PPEpolice?
I've never heard it called "I've got to go do a delivery" before, but I'm going to start using that one.
Balls deep with that bar. She’s hungry. Let ‘er eat! Nice shit, BTW!
Thanks Rob

Showed you how to use saw
Nice job,glad he likes the saw
Nice saw keep up the good work Mike enjoyed your video
Nice saw, nice wood
Nice saw mike wondering what that cost down your way compared to here
Looks like it needs sharpened up a bit
I was thinking it was a little slow as well Dave. I'm guessing it came with a safety chain instead of a full chisel tooth chain.
Joe's Firewood Videos seemed a little slow and saw dust looked fine
Mountain Man 17 your probably right never thought about that when I buy a new saw make them give me the good chain but I don’t like the chisel chain here in Missouri seems to hard to sharpen I just run straight stihl stock chain
David Malloy no that’s just the saw stihls pro saws are way more ballsy than that thing
David Malloy he ran the chain into the dirt
I posted that comment before you said it needs a longer bar. 😂yeah that's a big piece of wood for a 20
Nice saw. That wood will be perfect boiler wood.
Do they teach you about compression and tension in America? It’s painful.
He got it done.
Picked up a 261 couple days ago
I loved mine.

That’s a really nice saw, Mike. I enjoyed seeing how smooth it cut!
Great work, you two!
Nice saw! No playing games now.....hope Mike's hearing is ok, WHAT? EH? Pam your fighting a loosing battle 🤔☹
I want one of those!
Go buy one

@@JoesFirewoodVideos i got my 391 with 18” bar! But I better get some chaps and a hardhat and make that I know how to use it without kickback.
That sure is a nice saw Mike! I think you should give her a name and have Joe post it in the comments 👍💥🇺🇸

Hey joe I’m fairly new to your channel, going back and watching old videos because I can’t get enough.. love watching you guys work. Is mike family or just a friend?
Appreciate it brother! I have over 600 firewood videos between both of my channels.
My late uncle sold a lot of wood in his day also worked in the lumber woods.
I’ll quote him lol: He said if a chainsaw lasts over two years you didn’t use it lol.
Yes they’ll last a long time using like we use them about 2 hours running time a day.
They would use them 8 and 10 hours everyday.
Saw's cutting good, cut even better when it's run in.
About time! !! Mike!!! Nice.😆
Looks like you were after eating beans the day before Joe lolol

He's still using it.
DUDE! Did you leave a splatter on the tree too lol
does mike youtube ?
Looks like he’ll be scratching tonight was that poison ivy everywher
My 391 pulled a old 24 light fine
Mine came with a 20 inch bar. But some come with a 25 inch bar.
My bad for not replying right away Joe yeah 24" bar. They make a 25 now I had that 24 on my 044 and 391
I wish I had locust like that.
Nice saw but that’s no way to run in a brand new saw, bar, chain.... and no PPE - no I’ll feelings but accident waiting to happen 🙃🙃
He got it done.
i still dont know how to break in new chainsaw
@@JoesFirewoodVideos i didnt cut locus,just oak
Could’ve got a echo pro saw for the price he paid for that homeowner sthil
Magnesium crack case housing vs a plastic one on the sthil

Ain’t no way I’d put my saw in that crappy wood full of vines.
Nice MS 391 64 cc 8 more then my MS 290

Mike should get a long time outta this one Joe
I'm telling ya. Put a 18" on it that things eats wood now. Do s video with a sharp 18" on it you'll be suprised
I thought there was gonna be some tips about breaking it in. he just starts using it normal. not even a warm up.
One tip would be not to go full throttle until you’re into the cut.
Bubble guts hit ya joe
No safety equipment? How foolish!
@@MacGyver1946 I know, the things I see on social media....No safety equipment!
👍
with longer bar can be easly overheated,
loks like the chain is not sharp enough,i can see sawdust
Brrrrooooooo, My ozito can do that
Do what?
A chain bar will cut 2 and 1/2 times its length. Longer bar means higher risk of kickback and especially with a powerful saw like this. Added to this no PPE absolute madness. Remember a chain doesn't cut it rips

Big steamer lol
I have one thing to say.Husquvarna baby.

Not very smart to be doing that without protection.

If you say so . Be well
you and crack head Wallace Do you guys need to get a bigger saw that can actually cut wood 391 lolI should really learn how to sharpen the chain
It was cutting perfectly?
