Unless it's from the gay fucking mtronic chipped carb Stihl still rules the PNW where there's real trees.

[ - ] registereduser 7 points 3 monthsJan 11, 2025 18:32:30 ago (+8/-1)

Stihl are the best on the market, followed by Husqvarna then probably Echo.

Sounds like citibois operator error.

[ - ] HonkyMcNiggerSpic 4 points 3 monthsJan 11, 2025 18:51:42 ago (+5/-1)

Every logger I know switched to Husky years ago. Stihl is weak junk made for gay boys.

[ - ] drstrangergov 5 points 3 monthsJan 11, 2025 21:23:45 ago (+5/-0)

all the loggers i knows still use our pappys stihl's.

[ - ] HonkyMcNiggerSpic 2 points 3 monthsJan 12, 2025 12:06:12 ago (+2/-0)

Are they the old ones? If so, they're decent. Its the ones they've been making for the last 5-10 or so that lick monkey balls.

[ - ] ButtToucha9000 1 point 3 monthsJan 13, 2025 22:33:24 ago (+1/-0)

Fuck a hisqy they are trash you know stupid faggot loggers then. Everyone uses stihl.

[ - ] registereduser 0 points 3 monthsJan 11, 2025 18:56:54 ago (+4/-4)

Every logger I know

0 is not a count.

[ - ] HonkyMcNiggerSpic 3 points 3 monthsJan 11, 2025 18:58:41 ago (+4/-1)

I have two close friends who own their own logging outfits. I've used more chainsaws than any soy bitch here.

[ - ] registereduser 2 points 3 monthsJan 11, 2025 19:36:58 ago (+2/-0)

Maybe I'm just old. I haven't touched a saw since '03.

[ - ] drstrangergov 2 points 3 monthsJan 13, 2025 16:11:19 ago (+2/-0)

would you like to see some of my chainsaw carvings? and there are no more logging outfits. weyerhauser has monopolized the timber industry. source: am paul bunyan

[ - ] HonkyMcNiggerSpic 0 points 3 monthsJan 13, 2025 16:57:36 ago (+0/-0)

Sure. I'll check'em out. I have a few carvings myself. I made a table and chairs but use them to sit plants on. I made many seats/benches. I don't carve bears or any of that but know people who do. And yes, there are still lots of logging outfits around. Hell, I know of three near me. I know the owners and most workers.

i'm from washington state. my dad and his brothers won the tug of war at the loggers jubilee for a few years a long time ago. my uncle was crushed by my grandfather in the grapple of a self-loader. everything changed after the commies in the government shut down our economy with the spotted owl. we never recovered. i started out my career working on logging equipment then phased into construction equipment. our lives were sold for pennies on the dollar. we lost farms, businesses, and hope. they brought the drugs and the welfare in. they're all dead or dying now. i'm told most of the people in the homeless camps are local. i had to leave, there was nothing left and i didnt know who to fight. its started in montana now.

[ - ] HonkyMcNiggerSpic 1 point 3 monthsJan 14, 2025 20:01:03 ago (+1/-0)

Sorry to hear that. A lot here suffered too. Over the past 5 years they have raped our mountains. Now we have severe flooding issues.

[ - ] drstrangergov 2 points 3 monthsJan 14, 2025 20:03:35 ago (+2/-0)

they're committed now. they're going to force us to fight them. i hope we still have good sheriffs.

[ - ] HonkyMcNiggerSpic 0 points 3 monthsJan 14, 2025 20:06:32 ago (+0/-0)

My local sheriff is a pos. He's in with the local jewbag filth town sucks. His wife is an obvious yenta. They all are uppity assholes. His kid plays on my kids sports teams. I can't stand those fuckin people and they have very strange behaviors. They don't act right around men like me. They look down their nose at me and most others. You know the type I'm talkin' 'bout

I've got half a dozen of each, and Stihl is a shit brand with junk saws.

[ - ] ButtToucha9000 2 points 3 monthsJan 13, 2025 22:32:30 ago (+2/-0)

Husqvarna is TRASH. They are impossible to service parts ALWAYS out of stock shit NO help from the company and ludicrous nonsense for everything they do. EVERYONE who works in the industry will tell you stay away from husqys.

I didnt know that until a chainsaw and 2 weedwackers and hours of headache later.

Echo is good.

I already conceded, I'm old and out of date.

'That is all' = wtf

[ - ] bosunmoon [op] 1 point 3 monthsJan 13, 2025 19:42:21 ago (+2/-1)

What's there to say? they're junk.

[ - ] Anus_Expander 2 points 3 monthsJan 13, 2025 21:13:26 ago (+2/-0)

In WHAT way? Plastic parts? Fragile bars? HOW?? They have been the standard for many years.

[ - ] bosunmoon [op] 2 points 3 monthsJan 14, 2025 08:20:26 ago (+2/-0)

They don't run reliably, and if they do run they fall out of tune very shortly.

[ - ] Anus_Expander 2 points 3 monthsJan 14, 2025 17:34:26 ago (+2/-0)

You're doing it wrong

[ - ] BitterVeteran 2 points 3 monthsJan 12, 2025 21:20:22 ago (+2/-0)

I just hate how they pronounce that name as 'steel'.

[ - ] SundayMatinee 1 point 3 monthsJan 13, 2025 15:12:29 ago (+1/-0)

I always read it as Stile, then I'm reminded of that website...

[ - ] drstrangergov 1 point 3 monthsJan 13, 2025 16:14:26 ago (+1/-0)

we've always pronounced it "still". before they went commie with electronic carburators, anyway. now nobody cares.

[ - ] bosunmoon [op] 1 point 3 monthsJan 13, 2025 19:49:03 ago (+1/-0)

Us folks are steel people.
But us folks don't run those junk saws anymore.

[ - ] drstrangergov 2 points 3 monthsJan 14, 2025 15:04:27 ago (+2/-0)

all consumer good are trash post 08. all manufacturers. they all went commie. keep or old shit running and good luck finding fuel not loaded with ethanol. i just get the engineered premix in cans its very shelf stable.

[ - ] MaryXmas 5 points 3 monthsJan 11, 2025 18:27:36 ago (+5/-0)

Sounds like you don't know how to run a saw. Considering the competition, I think they are pretty adequate for what they do.

[ - ] bosunmoon [op] 1 point 3 monthsJan 13, 2025 19:33:36 ago (+1/-0)

Wrong.
A chainsaw needs to run to be useful.

[ - ] MaryXmas 1 point 3 monthsJan 15, 2025 18:22:22 ago (+1/-0)

So it is operator error? Sounds right to me.

[ - ] bosunmoon [op] 1 point 3 monthsJan 15, 2025 18:56:13 ago (+1/-0)

Nope, husky's run fine.

Husqvarna is okay, though.

My Husqvarna mower refuses to run.

[ - ] Nosferatjew 4 points 3 monthsJan 11, 2025 18:31:01 ago (+4/-0)

Have you tried increasing the frequency and/or intensity of its beatings?

[ - ] HonkyMcNiggerSpic 1 point 3 monthsJan 12, 2025 12:05:27 ago (+1/-0)

kek Ya gotta love it when a man snaps and starts beating his tools. It happens to the best of us and its never a proud moment. I have an old weedeater that wouldn't run a couple years ago and I done everything to try and fix it. I already had the blister on my finger from cranking it(those hurt like a MF) and I slung that sumbitch straight up in the air as hard as I could and it went high, yes it did! Then it came down and landed about five feet from me and attacked me. I threw my hand up to try and stop it and ended up staving my GD pinky finger. My wife was sitting outside smoking at the time and did a little laugh. She said "did that fix it". I just growled like a pent-up beast.

Open the gap on your plug a little bigger. Like almost 40. Thank me later

[ - ] ButtToucha9000 1 point 3 monthsJan 13, 2025 22:36:56 ago (+1/-0)

Because they are trash

[ - ] bosunmoon [op] 0 points 3 monthsJan 11, 2025 19:34:32 ago (+2/-2)

Yep, pretty much anyone makes a better saw than Stihl.

[ - ] HonkyMcNiggerSpic 3 points 3 monthsJan 11, 2025 18:51:07 ago (+4/-1)

I use a 20" 550 Husky rancher and its a bad boy

[ - ] Thyhorrorcosmic103 2 points 3 monthsJan 12, 2025 05:01:49 ago (+2/-0)

Are you using the proper octane gas?
Use 92 or up with a 50:1 oil. If it is an older one you might need 40:1.

Never use ethanol in a 2 stroke.

[ - ] bosunmoon [op] 1 point 3 monthsJan 14, 2025 08:21:59 ago (+1/-0)

I run the Stihl brand premix.

[ - ] FreeinTX 3 points 3 monthsJan 11, 2025 18:14:04 ago (+3/-0)

My Echo is Purdy nice.

[ - ] bossman131 3 points 3 monthsJan 11, 2025 19:05:28 ago (+3/-0)

I had Echo and Stihl for years of trouble free service, but I'm not a logger head.

[ - ] Sector2 3 points 3 monthsJan 11, 2025 18:07:06 ago (+3/-0)

I had a mid-90s Stihl that worked great. Maybe it still does, but I think the x ended up with it.

[ - ] Shitcreek 3 points 3 monthsJan 11, 2025 17:03:31 ago (+3/-0)

The older ones were great, I bought a remanufactured one about twenty years ago from a authorized Stihl dealer.

You can't even trust an estwing hammer anymore.

It's all the same chinese shit.

Stihl is still made in Germany

Common STIHL Chainsaw Problems:

STIHL chainsaw won’t start
STIHL chainsaw starts, stalls, and dies
STIHL chainsaw chain won’t turn or move
STIHL chainsaw only runs with the choke on
STIHL chainsaw loses power and bogs down
STIHL chainsaw is smoking

The key word here is “common,” which one is you?

[ - ] Sleazy 4 points 3 monthsJan 11, 2025 17:39:16 ago (+4/-0)

sounds like carburetor issues

[ - ] bosunmoon [op] 1 point 3 monthsJan 13, 2025 19:47:18 ago (+1/-0)

All of the above.
