    I ruined my body logging for 35 yrs. Now in my 60s it's a young mans game. (I miss it alot) I have seen some real serious stuff in the woods. It's not the place to learn from the school of hard knocks although most of us did and still do. Looked like to me that fella had that tree winched up tight and when he pulled away it pulled the skidder over. Glad everything turned out ok. I have run and owned alot of saws. Stihls and Reds and Huskys.Everyone has a preference of which ever works for them and trust me folks you can get a bad one with a glitch no matter who makes it. Don't mean it's the brand. We would say hmmm must have been made on a monday. You did a great job retrieving your skidder and I wish you the best in the future. Be safe. Thank you for the vid.

    My (2) 592 I have are 3-4 pulls to start and they both run great. I do have (4) 372 that I bought all together, (3) of them are identical in the way they perform and 3-4 pulls to start. The other one I have which I call number four takes upto a dozen pulls to get it going, but it’s performance is superior to the other three I have.

    I run a 592 as well. I haven’t had any issues starting it in the cold, except when I was running my buddies gas. He uses Stihl ultra oil and my saws ran horribly on that stuff. Even worse, it auto tuned itself for that garbage so when I switched back to my VP oil it took half a tank before auto tuning back.
    (Only problem I’ve had with my 592 is one of the bar posts fell into the oil tank - I don’t think it was properly seated at the company. )
    You know, it’s one thing to roll a guys machine over. It’s another thing to not tell him about it. What a ridiculous experience. Sorry that happened to you.

    I`m glad that there`s not any serius damage to the skidder. It`s almost unbelievable to tip that machine over on a flat ground...I think that happened because the operater tried to pull the log at the bad angle...Anyway - i have a friend, he owns a small logging company, he owns a LKT skidder, he has to deal with that kind of stuff all the time : last year the guy that worked for him tipped the skidder over in the forest while the other guy was filming him for facebook - he was dragging too heavy load with the skidder`s front end up in the air, making the spectacle...it flipped over, did some heavy damage to the haul and the engine, the guy broke his shoulder...total negligence...it`s hard to find good help these days - no one wants to work any more, everyone wants to be famous on the internet...🤣

      Also wanted to add, another guy I cut with sometimes, also has a 592XP, both saws purchased same place, same time, plus I have recently purchased a second 592xp, they all sound and operate completely different. My first 592, had 2 mufflers fail. I love the 592’s, I think the finer details have slipped a bit. A saw can have space age technology and and nice flash shiny appearance, but when I buy a Pro saw, I want reliability and longevity. I think that’s where Husky have slipped a bit imo.

    With these new auto tune saws you have to use the purge bulb every single start on them when the saw is cold. My 572XP is the same way. The dealer told me to use the purge . Press 6-7 full times. Now it starts in 3pulls every time.

    Unfortunately, Husqvarna is the hardest starting chainsaw in the industry. I had a 562 xp, T540xp and 3120xp they were all extremely cold blooded from a cold start. So instead of using Husky, I switched over everything to using Stihl. I find using Stihl as a brand is a lot easier to use and start. Echo just has no top end power for pulling through big rounds or timber.

    Tuning IS your Key to Easy Starts on your saw. I tune for running performance and when you get that right and your fuel system is clean and adjusted for ALL proper specs that saw will start easy, part of it is knowing what combo of choke adjustment to and "signs" the engine gives such as a Pop after 2 pulls comp. release On and push choke down to 1/2 or 1/4 Quickly and 3rd pull you are running and 1 pull the rest of the day. More than 3 pulls to cold start then ya may need tuning.

Only problem I had was the primer bulb line from the factory had a kink in it and when I’d go to rev it from idle it would die. The shop I bought it from took it apart and told me that. It does seem to be fixed. Usually hard start is lack of low side fuel right??

      He would cut one tree well then bust the next one. I’m not sure if he was good or just sometimes lucky. I’ll I know is he won’t be back on my job. Not because he rolled a skidder, but because he wasn’t honest about what happened on this job site. As far as buying timber it depends on the landowner.

    In all your videos you are working on relatively level ground. Would working in hilly terrain change your strategy/tactics when felling trees? You are so composed and thoughtful about your work, I just wonder if that would be a consideration.

    • @Good.Fellers
      @Good.Fellers  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Absolutely, we work around river bottoms and ravines from time to time and techniques are changed as needed. My entire operation is based on working in areas that are hard to get to. Usually crossing swamps, rivers, or getting access that is hard to purchase. Good timber isn’t available in very many easy to access woods anymore. So we go where we have to go get it and adapt as needed.

      From the terrain I have observed a log arch would work well . Leaving a smaller disturbance, using a small piece of equipment to transport the logs. Land owners less concern with damage to haul roads. On a side note , don't you like Stihl chainsaws?@@Good.Fellers

    It sucks when sub-contractors let you down. At least there was no major damage caused.
    Regarding starting Husky saws I never have trouble if I religiously follow the 4 primer pumps full choke, then 2 primer pumps once it fires (but that is for 560s and 550s).

    Typical start only should 3 to 4 pull's on choke, when slite start, move choke up 1 or adjust next pull should start and rev up slowly when get too high RPM hit trigger and typically idle, all I've had i have zero tolerance other than I described, also when buying use same protocol if doesn't, i walk away.
    Mine is baby 026 I've killed hundreds of tree's since 2016 to currently, 3 years I've cut beside a husky 395 28" bar kept up almost best 1st one was a 028 boss.

    I have a 450 rancher that used to be like that. Pull and ppull, and pull, and it'd start and cut immediately until it was warmed up and then it was a single pull start all day long. Then one day I watched a video about chain tensioning and I realised that when my chain was hot I was tensioning it up to take up the slack and then leaving it tensioned when I put it away thinking it would be set for the next time I needed it. Big mistake! I started undoing the bar nut as soon as I was done with the saw and leaving it loose while stored and then starting it for the first time loose before warming it up and dialing in the tension. As soon as I started this habit, I noticed that it started in the cold a lot easier!
