Eh I messed around with it a bit more and got it freed, it must have had shit in it. But I couldn't get it to budge yesterday the oil must have penetrated the dust.

Also for what its worth, I'm not interested in getting into a dick measuring contest, I'd own either Stihl or Husky but as it stands today you get more for your $$ with Stihl it will change and maybe in 15 years when it's time to get a new saw I'll get a Husky. I am not loyal to either brand as I reckon both are pretty damn good.

I have never been a fan of roller tips but they do decrease kickback
Nice choice of Saw Keith I am sure your are going to get a lot of use out of it in the near future.

Thanks mate! I'm sure I will get a lot of use out of it with the temps in the Southern Tablelands of late!
Bring on March when we move down! Can't bloody wait!

Like all chainsaws there is only one thing better, someone to cut and stack the wood for you.

Re: I couldn't help myself and got the Stihl MS311
What are you talking about? I used it for nearly a full tank of fuel and bucked a medium sized stringy bark before it stopped working and had I known what I known now I would have fixed it in 5 minutes.Camel wrote: ↑Tue Jul 11, 2017 1:58 pmkjd wrote: ↑Tue Jul 11, 2017 11:07 amThe saw runs fine mate, it was the sprocket in the bar nose that buggered up and I ended up fixing it myself.

But again this is Ford and Holden or Remington and Winchester type shit what is the point of it? But hey if you feel you need to shit on something I've bought to vindicate your decisions then go right ahead.

And in case you don't get that, I have been winding you up Keith, man they are biting well in this spot, Ill have to come back and throw a few more lures around. I am the last one to brag about dick size.
