Putting my Biggest Bar on my Biggest Chainsaw *SOS 

You want a 60 inch stihl bar . I sold my tree company last week and have a few brand new ones still in box. Stihl doesnt make these bars anymore. Love your content.

Appreciate you showing the struggle! There's definitely ways to do it by yourself - One trick is to whip a bar nut on the stud loosely so it holds the uncovered bar while you tighten the chain. Then remove and proceed to gingerly put the side cover on (the chain tension at this point will help hold it all together). Also, I always tighten the large milling chains a bit more because they expand quite a bit, (especially if they are brand new). That and they get hotter for longer periods which tends to make them all loosey goosey after the first cut or so. Cheers!

I've found that using tape or rubber bands to hold the chain to the bar while installing the bar to the chainsaw works very well. No matter what size bar you are using.

"I'm going to un-loosen this.." Doesn't that mean to tighten? 😆 😜 Well done. Nice set up.

how can this little woman pack so much power and strength into her little body, she is adorable kinda scary no its impressive sorry yes impressive I'm subscribing this woman is strong lol

Good job Jenna. It will be easier to put the side cover on and then tighten the chain It'll keep the bar from falling off.

You're such an amazing person. Beautiful inside and out. I love your work!

Noooooo, you said unloosen it.😂

Jenna, that bar and chain is supposed to be a handful, just because of a it’s size. It’s like moving around a vehicle with no engine running and you’re only doing it with muscle power!

“Chain Tensioner”

Leatherface would be proud lol

When you pull up the chain the tips of the drivers should be at the top of the bar rail. That is the rule of thumb I use for chain tightness. If you lay your chainsaw on its side it’s easier to mount the chain on a long bar.

I think the chain is a little bit too tight. I always check it under the bar but in your case it will loosen up while usage. Powerwoman Jenna.😃

Where im at the trees aint big enough 2 need a bar dat big i had a 36 inch on alaskan mill at 1 time

Another great info video. You did better putting the chain on than some guys i know. Yes your right a helper is better. Good job jena.😊

Damn that's a huge log...cutter 😂

I say this is fun, tongue in cheek, so please let it be fun. If you're going to unloosen something you in reality are tightening it. To loosen means to bring slack into the situation. So, if we un-loosen something we take the loosen out, we un- it...unloosen. To undo some thing is the opposite of our original action. Tighten, original action; loosen, opposite action. So, if we Unloosen we tightening it. My grandfather taught me a lot about the words that we use, most often misuse. Not being critical at all. Just being amused by how unaware we are of our words.

You did fine. If you clamp your chainsaw to the bench, it might make this process easier. Ready for some milling!

Good gosh dynamite does come in a small package you proved that be careful

the girl and the chainsaw are cool, I've also been interested in chainsaws since I was 10 years old, it turns out 5 years in business

I like the finale , wow 😘

I have heard of huge trees on the coast but its rare 4 anything bigger then 4 ft where im at

4:40 amazement Put my biggest bar on my biggest chainsaw

I always used to put the saw on the side laying down, and rest the bar on something. And put the side cover on before tighten up the chain :)

That's huge!! I've seen my bees come out in the upper 30's if its sunny.

Maybe cut an angled piece of wood. Almost like a door stop that you could slide under the end of the bar until its at the right level for you?

Get the chain start, then line the pin up and snug the cover down then tighten the chain

That is an absolute weapon. How's the puppy doing??❤

Hi Jenna, What's your location? I'd love to get a BEAR carved. Do you have a way to ship these big chunks of wood?

And again she has the good safety shoes on. If that goes well.

Cool. My uncle has a 54 or 56 inch bar for his Stihl 661.

I went with cannon bars for milling. They don't sag as much and they have more of a curve that seems to hold the chain in better

I’m laughing because I know the pain, I treat them like I do a regular bar and chain it’s just a bit more awkward. I also just throw something under the front and just work it on with the chain super loose and put the clutch cover on and then fully tighten the chain tensioner. After watching this I kinda wanna see you fight with a double ended 72in bar with twin 2100s with outside chain tensioners 😂. When it comes to tightness I hold the saw up by the pistol grip and tighten it till the chain just touches the bar rails. And with a saw that big I like holding it by the pistol grip with the tip on a log to start. But great video and you’ll get used to putting that saw together ❤

Watch out, your side cover is missing the rubber chip deflector. The moment the chain jumps it will eat through the magnesium cover and cut into the fuel tank!

I put da side cover on b4 tightening the chain

Friend of mine said he bets you couldn't carve a log into a chainsaw. I bet you can. A key lime pie is now riding on your skill

hallo jenna, here in germany the right bar is not bigger than the cc; that means.. a saw with zylinder 70cc has maximum a bar with 70cm (28 inch), most professionals do not run their saw with a bar bigger than 50cm (20inch). With such a 20 inch bar you can cut a tree up to 1 meter diametre. greetings and blessings from germany

With a new chain you want it pretty tight for the first few minutes because it will stretch a lot . I have help when I install my 60" bar, so much easier. Ron USCG RET

Fair play jenna that bar is bigger than you! fair dos on you handling that! think id struggle and im 6 foot 5! ha

Yeah actually super important to maintain a high tolerance of cleanliness on the “bar mount plates” otherwise oil pressure could be dramaticlly lowered, bar n chain start burning up, more friction, more heat, more wear. whole saw life is degraded

impressive, chainsaw. Now is that bar really made of titanium?

Nice! But why did you switch to the bigger size bar? What are you cutting that big?

And unloosening something would be to tighten it... of you wanna LOOSEN it you just simply LOOSEN it.

You put the saw flywheel side down and prop the bar on that box:/

Wow. And I'm only 5' 2''. I wonder how I would handle it.

These big bar makes the back hurt if you saw a long time. :)

Great video. That’s quite the bar!!

Whays a honey bird

Great job! I probably could have done it.But it wouldn't have been RU-vid friendly though lol.

Einstein said the dayvwe stop learning is the day we start dying. Try having the sprocket facing you & hold the bar halfway you had it at about the 3:30min mark. Also a squeeze sauce bottle with canola oil, run a bead of oil along the channel so the chain is sitting in some oil not a dry channel. No gloves, learn to use both hands & yes your feet as well 😂 when you blow the air filter blow it from the inside outwards, but check the air doesn’t have a oily residue as air compressors need to be drained. Have seen this a number of times in old air compressors.

It wasn't happy about sartering up ❤

That's epic😂

Husqvarna come out with a diesel chainsaw with electric starter in 2025 in western coast Canada 🇨🇦 for logging 😊.

👍👍👏👏

👀👀

...what purpose does it serve the general is already dead 😕

As an old logger you want me to SHARPEN THE CHAIN RIGHT ? Hey 👋 that coyotes just shoot it same on our game animals like 👍 rabbits 🐇. You do beautiful wooden carving and cute and funny . Remember THINK 🤔 SAFETY and always put SAFETY FIRST around chainsaw . STICK on the ICE 🧊,SAW in the WOOD 🪵 and RUBBER on the road .

Maybe use a screw gun
