I ran Stihl chain for 30 years. A couple years ago when I bought a new 395xp it came with Husqvarna x-cut chain. I liked it so much I bought a roll. Very nice chain, just about as hard as Stihl chain, very little stretch. And it is about half the price. Check out Stahl's, they sell by the loop...

Agreed, coupled with a too heavy piece and brittle/half dead wood for rigging points.

Have you tried Madsens?

That accent

Any sources for Stihl chain? I'm looking for 33RS .050" 3/8" 105 DL. Amazon has one in full skip for $65, but shipping is way out.

I go for a shallow vertical face on valuable timber. 80% of the diameter across the face (if needed) not 1/3 of the tree depth. Very often can just shave the root flare - I try never to go deeper than the first cut the mill might take to "skin" the log.

A closed face creates a pulling hinge. An open face creates a bending hinge. And then there's back cut height...

It is pronounced "steal", right? Just with a German spelling.

That's a pretty spot, @SeanKroll. M and I camped there for several days a few years ago, enjoyed some very nice hikes. https://www.masterblasterhome.com/threads/off-to-camp-hike-southern-nevada-and-arizona.20879/page-2#post-899172

The mills and tree cos are the only log trucks. No independent trucks any more.

If things weren't so crazy I'd come up.

Headed to Vegas to a Red Rock Canyon NCA M-Th for a rock climbing trip with Miriam.

I'm surprised given the woodsy country you're in

taking the time to upload bunches of vids from TX cutting hackery, pretty fun to cut stuff that holds/swings.

Went and looked at some trees needing cut (pretty good sized job) and some machines for sale. Small walkabout in gorgeous weather, good for the soul, didn't realize that was what I needed. Took some pretty pictures.

you gon lern taday boi!

Tons of rot, but there are a lot of solid sections, sadly very short because a line clearance co took it down. There are no log trucks to hire. My guy cut ten feet of frame off his log truck and put a dump body on it last summer.
