  • West Coast Saw has some mean-looking felling dogs that don't skimp on quality. In this video I'll show you how I installed them on my Stihl ms291.

    Thank you. Exactly what I needed. You explained all the bits the other videos don't. I will proceed to WCS and buy some 261 dogs.

    Would having a longer bar be compromising the performance on the sthil MS 250 chainsaw

    I thought I wanted a set of these but I’m not sure I like the idea of the dog being bolted onto that cheesy plastic cover.

      The pressure would be spread equally between both dogs,and if you're putting so much pressure leaning on your saw that you break them you're doing it wrong anyway. If you feel like you need a magnesium cover you'll have to step up to a pro saw. As far as I know stihl is the only manufacturer that provides allowances for adding an outside spike to their non pro saws,so just say thank you stihl.🙄

    Hey man cool video just dropping some knowledge for you , your couple of minor complaints are simply due to the fact that you have a home owner saw other models like a 261 “pro saws” don’t run into that issue

      @@appalachiandiy2415 correct , I just went out and double checked mine just to make sure before commenting but there’s a couple different ways to identify the pro saws from home owner saws .. that being one ... the pro saws have a harder cover not exactly sure the material it’s more like a metal where as the homeowner saws have the plastic casing ... all in all not here to diss your saw at all .. thank you for the vid I just ordered those dogs this morning and look forward to sportin them myself 🤙🏼

    Always buy pro level saws and you wont have to worry about retrofitting anything and can run a long ass bar. It’s worth it to spend that little bit more, save up until you can do it right. No disrespect to the video, just saying.

      @@adruery your totally right I did misunderstand. Thought you were just saying they aren’t worth it. As a trail guy most of my cutting is bucking in pretty sketchy scenarios I can legitimately say dogs have saved my life a few times. Otherwise I’d be over the top of some 5 ft cedars that we’re about to go.

      nope, the nuts always face the outer side to eliminate any possibility to catch the chain. Every stock setup I've seen had the nuts on the outside and the hex head of the screw is on the inside. He did it correct.
