What a great way to teach Isaac how to drop a tree where he wants it to fall. Good experience with low consequences if you screw up.

@lukeruggiero1894 6 дней назад

There is really high consequences if you mess up, I have been a professional contract faller for almost 6 years now and you make a bunch of white wood and crossed up lays your out of a job faster than you got it.

@MeadowFarmer 6 дней назад

I bought the Pinkway saw you reviewed a couple of months ago. I love it. For $130 it's a great saw. I only cut trees as needed around my house and it is a great saw for my needs.

@woodworker3122 6 дней назад

I bet it was fun just cutting trees and not worrying about set up or houses or power lines, etc. just felling all day. Fun in the forest. Nice video. Thanks.

Bought mine in 2022 and it was $1200 w/“20 bar. I run a 25”. Bought a 36” light bar for $160ish. Was going to get a 660 clone before I got the MS661. Just don’t have the time to bulletproof it. They are great if you work on them and replace some key parts.

@RobinWilkinson 6 дней назад

I've had one of these saws for a few years now, and at the beginning the bolts holding the dogs on rattled loose just like that one. I put it back together with Loctite, gutted the muffler and it works great. It does come setup way too rich from the factory, and it took mine about ten tanks worth of fuel before the rings fully seated and it got to full power. Aside from the dogs loosening up, the only problem I've had so far is one of the springs in the clutch went missing so the chain would spin at idle. Cheap easy fix. For the price of it's been a good machine.

@nospam3409 6 дней назад

I had the exact same experience, but I replaced the bolts with OEM. Had to do the same with those on the handle. Still running fine.

@Dpowell28 6 дней назад

Same thing happened to mine. Had mine for a year so far works great.

@michaelmahoney4889 5 дней назад

At 18:50 there is a massive old growth stump! Just think of the men back in the day standing on spring boards chopping out a face cut ten feet above that slope, then running a two man cross cut for hours. Then, dragging those 5' Dia logs with steam power. crazy. Good video Jake, go Issac 'you nailed it'.

@AaronTheViking250 6 дней назад

Gordy does his own thing most of the time, plus with his shop and everything he a busy busy guy, and to be honest, idk if he really would want to port a clone saw simply because its Chinese and tin can parts idk if it could take the power lol if it was American or Canadian made probably but we all know them Chinese its not that great putting it lightly btw.

These saw ALL come super RICH that I have heard. There is a guy in my town that sells them and he gets them set up to rev and make more power. You can hear the saw bogging and not preforming well. This saw will wake up with some tune to lean it out and they do well with a muffler. Tell gord to send you a box.

@noahkolis7014 5 дней назад

I have similar thoughts for the 661 power and such. It does seem like it runs the chain slower than say the 500, 462, 044, etc. but while it doesn’t run the chain fast, it sure pulls it harder. That, for me, is nice when you’re in that bigger stuff. Plus, being able to run a substantially longer bar is nicer for not having to double cut as much,

@peterellis4262 6 дней назад

I have two of the 30 something cc "Joncutter" saws because at $140 or so each, I had one and grabbed a second because I liked it so much. At this point I've borked the drive sprocket on one, but that took a couple of years and some abuse ;) I also bought one of the 070 clones for maybe $400 to be my milling saw. That one I'm not as happy with, but part of that is it's a monstrous heavy beast that I Only use with the mill, so it doesn't see much action.
