Your smiles reflect your love for your wife and your love for your lifestyle.

Awesome Mrs Stoney Ridge!! You go girl!! I use my Black&Decker chainsaw (battery operated) on my boyfriend’s farm. He likes Stihl, has 2. I don’t trust myself with a “real” chainsaw. I love using my Black&Decker! Plus I love making firewood for 🔥!! Glad to finally meet Mrs Stoney Ridge! My son is a Paramedic/Firefighter and yes tractor rollovers are one of the most seriousness. We live in Ohio, a lot of farming country, Amish too...

I saw that comparison video with the 066. What threw me off was that you said in that video that the 066 and ms660 were $2000 saws. That caught me off guard because I bought my 661 with a 36" bar for $1350. It would be cool to see your saw running next to the ms661

Tool tip to extend the life of your saw. Just like on the diesel let your small engine 2 strokes warm up like these saws, weed eaters,leaf blowers etc etc. (You may have off camera but figured I'd say this just in case) but I was bad about this my self. Spoke with an old mechanic and he said this is a long term killer of these engines. You jump into the project cause your eager to get going and don't allow the engine to get to operating temp. As always great video I enjoyed it as usual. God bless brotha

Thank you for teaching her and everyone the procedures of starting a tractor and safety. My friend in the old days when we used draft horse for logging, had a chain saw kick back on him, of which it hit him in the face. he rapped the ranis around him and told the draft horses to take him home. A hundred and so stitches later he still wears the scars of that day.

wedges are a big help when sawing felled trees,they help you keep your saw free from getting pinched

Josh you might want to add at least 6” for trim. Some saw mills even requires 10” for trim. But I would say 6”should be fine. Hey you’re doing a great job. Also some plastic wedges work great. Mrs Stoney Ridge farm is doing great as well. Thanks for the video. We really enjoy them. 👍👍👍❤️

Great video Josh, it was awesome that Mrs. Stoney helped! Love your videos Josh, your farm is really beautiful, keep up the good work!

You Chainsaws Look good.

You have a huge point with teaching your wife most everything you know. I think it is great. I just hope yall are able to avoid arguments and she too understands the value. Another point is not only to save your life but If something should happen to you. Say a back injury where you are unable to work for weeks or years. She may have to do a lot of things on the farm. Really this stuff helps us grow and become better more productive people. These values and hard work built this country. As you say we should probably get back to them.

You guys are blessed thank you for the videos

Thanks! Your a likable guy and a good teacher.

Whatever is done is carry a big coffee again about half-full bar Oil and about every second or third cut just dip the tip in the cayenne and rotate the chain a couple of Rotations. There is my tip for today thanks for all the great KZread content

I have a blue china chainsaw I purchased from Home Depot. Came with two sizes of bars and chains. Runs like a rabid beaver. I agree with Stoney. My neighbor has a sawmill. I routinely go down and get a couple of scoops of his saw dust pile. Take it back to my house and spread it on the yard. In new areas I use A-Tiller-The-Hun to till sawdust into the soil. Works wonders on soul. Good cutting safety info too Stoney

Tilling sawdust or woodchips into the soil depletes the nitrogen. Better to just lay on the top and let plant roots and earthworms do the magic under the surface.

OUT DOORS WITH TIM. Stay safe!!

To help with pinching your bar if you'll pound in a plastic wedge on top it'll help keep the kerf open. You usually add 6 inches extra on a saw log. 16'6" etc. If your cutting for yourself it's not a big deal though. I have a mill that I mostly cut for myself and family. Sometimes I might cut a 4 footer if it's a nice piece.

have to say josh was nice to see Mrs Stoney Ridge start a chainsaw properly she is about the first person on youtube who did it right good on her

Put a wedge in the top when you cut threw the log. It works!..

This is like the 7th time I watched this video it’s awesome

Remember that the new chain is stretching during use. Keep an eye on it and adjust as needed. That is a big bar!

The best part about your videos is you always show the boo boos! You don’t edit them out like some of the other videos I’ve watched! Well done!

Words of the video “ put her in front of the camera and she’ll give you a show “ lol. Sounds like my wife. Good to see couples having fun in life. God bless.

I bought one several Months ago and put a 42 inch bar on it--- Also bought it's big brother 105cc G070 Holzfforma Chainsaw.... I do Logging For my sawmill operation They are worth the money and then some ---- had a Sthil Ms661 Stolen which had cost me 1300.00 Never buy another saw that I can afford to loose and frankly I can not tell the difference in the 92 cc saws the 105cc saw in a beast.

Interesting use for the woodchips. Seems like a solid plan! I have a good friend with a cider orchard who uses the hardwood chip for the rings around his trees. Great compost for adding fertility and helps control the weeds.

Holds water in to! We do it for newly planted trees.

So just some info for you, been watching you for some time now love your show, learned how to raise chickens from you guys. But when cutting logs to prevent getting your bar pinched smack a wedge in the top. Also I noticed you where running your saw with a lose chain near the end, you want to keep that chain tight, failure to do so will flare the grooves the chain rides out over time preventing you to cut. Theres a screw to adjust the tightness of the bar. If you got any questions on cutting trees let me know be glad to help out. Thanks!

I have two PhDs in chainsawing, have been running saws for 112 years, and I approve of this video.

That works for me

Chain saws have come a long way. Back in the 1960's my maternal grandfather had a Mac chain saw for use around his lake place in northern Minnesota. What a noisy heavy thing that was. These modern saws are lighter and more powerful, and maybe a little quieter. They use less oil with the newer 50:1 gas oil mix ratios. Josh, that closing musical theme was quite nice. That will give something to think about on my way to church this morning. My choir is off for the summer. Carry on!

My tip is cut in the wood slowly, dont rush it or force it in the wood.

Hey Josh. I gotta say you have an awesome life there. Beautiful farm. In the closing shot when you were setting the log down with the tractor, a fish jumped in the pond behind you. Paradise brother. Cheers and God Bless. ~Mike and Ester~

Get yourself some of the plastic wedges ( they will not hurt your chain if you touch them ) when you cut big logs laying on the ground, cut about to the point the kerf begins to close, drive a wedge in to keep the kerf open, it will save your back, butt, arms and fingers.

No I am not a professional but you should use a couple wedges to help keep your saw from being trapped. Also that bar may be good for some much bigger wood but I bet you would have been better off using your 24 or 30 inch bar. That saw would throw some serious wood with a smaller bar. Keep doing what you love my friend.

Great video!!!!!

It's all fun and games till someone puts their eye out.

Good to see you are big on safety. I almost died twice in one day when i cut down a big oak and it fell on a 12 inch pine tree and a 4 inch cedar the pine and cedar were bent like twigs and when the pine snapped even though i was already running away when it did it still sprung out and hit me in the back while i was running, thankfully it launched me far enough that i wasnt under it when it hit the ground. The cedar snapped as soon as my bar touched it but it snapped past my bar for some reason and all of the energy in that tree went right into throwing my chainsaw at me, idk how far it threw me but my saw litterally bounced off my chest and i still had ahold of it so it slung out of my hand and flew a good 15 feet. thank god when it hit me the chain wasnt moving and it didnt hit my face, but it still left a purple line down my chest and cut my jacket a little bit and it still hurt like somebody catapulted a cinder block at me. Never touch a tree like that its not worth your life.

Great video and family be safe

Most of the Chinese saws like to run on 25:1 mix , I know some people run them at 40:1 or even 50:1 then call them junk because they fail .

@slimjim7411

4 жыл бұрын

Yup I generally like to run as much mix as they will tolerate. People don't know anything about 2 stroke engines though and the manuals generally lie to get it past emissions. IE 40:1 and a lean carb will get you past emissions. A day of hard sawing with it gets you a dead saw.

Chainsaws are good

"I wanna blow up a $300 saw" At least you'll be having fun, I was entertained and had fun Thanks

Man I’d put that in a pile with some greens. Have some cooking hot compost in a few days.

Hard work 😓 Josh. Can’t wait to see the sawmill in operation. 👍🏻

Years ago....way before the internet.....cell phones....this was about the mid 80s.I had read in a magazine article that a co-worker showed me.I actually think this was a Readers Digest.So this older guy in about his late 60s or 70s was falling trees out on his farm with his chainsaw.Not sure what state or what year, but one tree had fallen wrong and somehow had knocked this guy down on his running saw.It was said that he cut through his throat and halfway across his neck.The saw missed his main arteries in his neck,and the guy managed to walk back to his truck.....stopping a few times to lean down and blow the blood out of his windpipe.So this guy drives himself to his local hospital to save his life.Doctors at the hospital had said that this was nothing less than a miracle that he was able to make it so long and survive.The man said that praying to God helped and that he needed to stay alive to help take care of his sick bedridden wife.One doctor stated that someone could have cut their throat in the parking lot of this hospital....just a short distance away from help...….and bled to death before he could reach the door.It just goes to show you.....that this man was kept alive by a superior force and his love, to stay around to take care of his wife that relied on his care.

I always shut my saw off when the tree is headed down.Anything can happen.

I love these guys that live on a farm and think there professional loggers trust me bud those trees are tiny saws a bit overkill even thought it’s oak

I’ll give you some advice about your holzformma saw. The metal is soft, the plastic is hard and the carbs are crap. Find and old stihl 66 and swap the carb. Rebuild it first if it was sitting around. It’s easy to do. Replace the handle bars, the chain tensioner and if you fall timber replace the dogs. The Oiler doesn’t put out as much oil as the stihl but everything seems to be Oem compatible. Or run winter mix bar oil. I replaced my fuel line in the tank because the plastic was to stiff to reach the bottom. I paid 250 delivered which is less than 1300 for new. I’m happy with it

Have you even looked on “made in China”. So much cool stuff. Every thing from widgets to ships..

The more she knows about the Farm the Better !! Never know when you could be Down and need her fine hand for Help... Thank You Sir...

That gas can is bad ass!!!

So good to see you’re wife in the 🎥

You know what chainsaw I like best? The one that starts when I pull the cord and has a bar that’s going to fit the work and cuts wood.

Hey Josh I enjoyed the video and it was nice to see you and your wife working there together it's a beautiful thing I wish I can get me a little country girl myself maybe one day God will put her into my life just like your wife entered your life

I like using a pole saw to cut the limbs off a fallen tree. Keeps you out of the brush and less likely to trip over cut limbs. Plus less movement overall. Nice work.

Sounds like the Chinese saw would be perfect for a portable sawmill.

When you're cutting and could possibly pinch your bar, you can either put a small stick in the cut or even a wedge. This keeps it from closing up and pinching the saw. Hope this helps bud.

Keep up the great work thanks for the content

Best.safety.disclaimer.ever....

I use whatever chain saw I can find when I need one.

When all else fails, you can buckle brush. Those husky ratchet straps 3337lbs. Lay it out in line, cut the brush to any length, pull it onto the ratchet line. Ratchet, ratchet, ratchet, break break break, keep going. Pull it with your quad or UTV over to the treeline and whip it! Jeeps do it just fine (=

I always overflow or spill my bar oil too. Then I got an Echo saw that is my new favorite saw, but the handle is really close to the bar oil fill hole. So I got a clear ketchup bottle and filled it with oil, then squirt it into the saw. Words can't explain how awesome it works, plus it is small enough to be handy to transport, yet, it fills my saw twice. I take the saw full, then I have two refills. After that I need an excuse to head back anyway!

Those chaps have saved my legs more than once. Its a B to clean out the chain and drive afterwards, though.

Soak the new chain in 30w motor oil. I put mine in a gallon freezer bag and let soak for a day or two and the hang up to drain excess. I also turn the oiler up as high as it will go.

Overfilling the bar oil tank. We all do it. I keep my bar oil in an empty one quart oil container. It makes filling the bar oil tank a lot easier than with a gallon oil container. I re-fill it, as necessary. I built the ms 660 four years ago. It runs fine. It is heavy, so I save it for big jobs. For most cutting I use ms ms 360 or H 372 xp.
