Be interested to see how you put a saw away that you may not use for a while. I uses mine pretty regularly but it’s no longer my profession so at times I can go a couple months without using. I have my own system. Like to know yours at some point. Thanks for the video!
I would love to have a STIHL 500i as I need one to clear land for our OFF-grid home, but I cant afford the price tag for that chainsaw!!! liked#660 and subscribed!!!
So nice to see you again. Always take care of your saw's and they will last a lot longer. Take care and have a blessed week and I'll see you on your next video or on Facebook.
Awesome video thanks for sharing! There are many videos if you search 500i air filter problems apparently dust can get past underneath the plastic knob that removes air filter and then goes into engine. I ordered upgraded airfilter from egan performance saws for my 500i i just bought today!
Hi Felixia Thanks for sharing your information on Maintenance cleaning your saws air compressor it’s a great idea i do the same thing. My friends see me doing that and laugh at me I suppose that’s why my saws always run at their best. I have just purchased 500i and very happy 😊 with this new saw . It’s nice to see a gorgeous female lumberjack endorsing and using STIHL products stay safe.
Hello Felixia...always great to see your video! In the Northeast US, i don't see any of the new hexa filing. Questions: I have always round filed and want to experiment with chisel filing. Does the hexa file chain perform similar? Or is a hexa filed chain suited better just for felling? I cut primarily hickory and chestnut oak. Would love to hear your thoughts.
Felixia its great to see you hope all is well with your business. Cutting n logging heavy in new Jersey and Pennsylvania going into the best time of year for it . 500 i is great saw . Keep cutting girl n be safe.
Do you use only the Stihl fuel? The couple of people I've talked with (including the Stihl service tech) said that the only problem they've seen Auth these is when the operator uses gas station fuel. There seems to be no issues when running Stihl fuel Except the cost of the fuel
I got a bg56 I haven't use in a year and a half . I try to use it last week and realize the prime bulb dried rot so I have to replace it. I got a ms170 early winter use it twice . What next size you think I should get
One thing I was wanting to ask do you put any white lithium grease on your needle bearing behind the clutch cover. I try and keep it lubricated as much as I can when I deep clean everything. It’s what my stihl dealer recommended thanks again I try and keep watching every video you post thank you
Thank you for your helpful videos! I feel much more comfortable using and maintaining my chainsaw because of your videos. I don't have an air compressor so I use a brush but it doesn't do as good a job and it takes longer. If I used my saw everyday I'd get one. I only use my saw on weekends or when I get a day off.
How often do you grease the clutch drum bearing? What do you think of Stihl's fuel and oil caps? I much prefer the older style. The new ones let debris in when you open them.
I know you're not asking me, but I'll reply anyway. We don't ever grease anything on the saws despite using them for hours every day for years. Maybe the service store does when we have them looked at once a year in January, but I'm not sure what all they do. Even that's probably a waste of money because they come back with a clean bill of health most of the time. Somehow they don't seem any worse for wear. They just keep cutting. Maybe I'm tempting fate. Who knows.
I love my 500i she is a sweetheart. Congratulations Sthil Timbersports 2022 particapant you lookes at peace up there like it was natural i know you got this girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for being such in inspiration to me you are a baddass!!!!!!!!
Пила мощная надёжная это понятно но нахера было пилить хорошее стройное свежее дерево это просто дешёвые понты... Сам занимаюсь расчисткой и восстановлением садов и парков поэтому знаю что говорю!
Hello Felixia... I do the same things like you with my saws... But not every Day 🙄... And bevore i'm ready to take the Chain on the Bar i put a little bit of grease at the tip of the Bar.. I think, its better! Have a nice Day and see you soon... 💪🤜🤛
I thought I was a neet freek I don't take my saw apart every day but I do blow it off with air and make sure everything is working properly Damn girl you take it to a new level 🤣😉
Good to see you back again! I'm always impressed with how well you know your equipment. I use an electric chain saw the rare times I need to cut something because I can't keep those small gas engines running. That's funny, because I do all my own work on my van. I need to watch more videos like this one!
If you only use small two strokes occasionally it really is worth buying Stihl long life fuel and premium two stroke oil. Regular pump gas breaks down and varnishes small engines. Bad fuel makes more saws end up in yard sales than anything else. Then the guys who buy them spend half an hour on the bench and get yet another cheap saw with barely more than break in hours on it.
Agree basically with most of what you said in the video. However, having been a mechanic for well over 30yrs I can tell you & all your followers unequivocally that you should “NEVER EVER” clean or blow out any form of air filter element with compressed air. It will damaged the filter medium, allowing larger particles thru than OEM specifications & you’ll find that you end up with what’s basically a “dusted” powerhead. The cylinder bore & piston will end up looking like they’ve been attacked with a sand blaster. Tap the dust out onto a firm surface sure, but compressed air is a no go!!
Curious as to why one of the dogs are missing from your 500I. Also, I notice that you are using the original air filter that came with the Stihl, why haven't you replaced it as so many others have on this saw? Have you had any modifications done and if yes why? Your comments would be much appreciated.
G'day FLJ, do you have to bore cut in those trees ? I like to run a piece of hack saw blade with the sides of the teeth ground off down the bar groove from the sprocket nose down to clean right in there and a few drops of oil when reassembling the bar and chain so it's already lubricated instead of being dry and waiting for the pump to send it out 👍🇦🇺.
One thing I was wanting to ask do you put any white lithium grease on your needle bearing behind the clutch cover. I try and keep it lubricated as much as I can when I deep clean everything. It’s what my stihl dealer recommended thanks again I try and keep watching every video you post thank you
Thanks for that. My 500 has a bent inner plate that seems to allow more oil around the inner area. This clogs up with the dust and blocks the oiler holes on the bar.
I always make sure to clean my 500i and other chainsaws very thoroughly after each and every use. Sawdust will make your chainsaw bite the dust sooner than it should. 💀💀💀💀 It takes a while but I make sure to get rid of all of the sawdust. 👍🏿😊 #stihlpower
that would be interesting review... Here local Stihl dealer have occasionally organised events, where you can test different chainsaw(s). Did not see those events this year. Last time I visited on dealer, they did not have MSA300, only the huge MS881...
Compressed air would be a good option when cleaning chainsaw(s). At the moment I do not have air compressor, need to put it on purchase list. Another question, how do you decide whether to refer your chainsaw as she/or he ? I do not mind calling my MS261 as "she" :-)
I rarely did any of the things to my saw that you do. After watching your videos I take much better care of my saw. Thanks for the tips.
Glad to hear you started to care for your saws! 😊

Yes it is but your saw will start performing badly if you don’t do it
@@Femalelumberjack I couldn’t agree more. Keep up the great content and advice!
Kudos to you for taking very care of your babies 👏👏

Lol understandable! It’s awesome
Good advice young lady! And nice felling of the beach ! We're are you Netherlands?
Thanks. No I’m in Denmark

Can you make on your channel video about Stihl MS 462?

Hello to my favorite tree climbing monkey girl. I picked up a echo CS 620 p and a Stihl ms400 c and a Husqvarna 562 XP. Your friends here Piqua Ohio.
Gotta say since I bought the 500i I’ve been very impressed I have to get a light bar but she’s a beast!
This is my exact routine. We have to take care of our equipment if we want it to take care of us right ? Good vid 👌
Good to hear that! 👌

Love my 500i. Your video review of the saw was one of the first one's I saw before shelling out the cash for this bad boy!!! Thanks 😁
Great video, there are some things I have not been doing with my saw routine, thank you for this video.
How are you progressing with your wood lathe ?
I got a bg56 I haven't use in a year and a half . I try to use it last week and realize the prime bulb dried rot so I have to replace it.
I got a ms170 early winter use it twice . What next size you think I should get
Oh for an air compressor. Would speed things up. Ho-hum, back to the application of brushes and cloths.
One thing I was wanting to ask do you put any white lithium grease on your needle bearing behind the clutch cover. I try and keep it lubricated as much as I can when I deep clean everything. It’s what my stihl dealer recommended thanks again I try and keep watching every video you post thank you
Nice to see you back ! Got 2 saws just waiting to have that done , maybe tomorrow , great video thank you .
What size bar and type of chain are you running? Are you from a country in Europe? Thank you.

Your very pretty and have a lot of good information, thanks.
Is this much cleaning necessary for an engine designed to work under heavy conditions ? 🤔
If you want to keep it running at it’s best in those conditions then yes

You need to get a bark box for that 500 I it really woke mine up
