I think the 088"s were the best of the bunch. Unlimited coil, still has the pre-epa carb and that cast aluminum sounds great! Sweet saw Jeff! "Picked it up at a garage sale" ..........only out West.
Thanks for the rise along - fantastic nature views! DMAX sounds sweet! Had to laugh at the coffee - LOL. Stihl 088 is a beast: fits right in for Beastmode. 59" will be badass!
Looking forward to seeing the action with the new chipper and the 88, when the occasion is right. Lots of saw and weight. At my age my Jonsered 910E, with a 36 inch bar is about all I want to pack. Nick, North West Farmer (Oregon)
Beautiful drive 😍 I like the bars with a grease hole for the nose sprocket, using a GB 42 with 3/8 gauge on a stock 881. Get about 25-30mins out of a full tank (1.3 Litres)
Nice bro. Boss brought one 5 years back. Never run right, back to dealer they play with it still not great. Really stihl should just have givin him another. All the best mate great vids.
Dang I'm excited for ya !!! That saw looks like it's in really good shape !! And now it's basically new inside, should be really good for a long time 😁 The drive down was Awesome, Beautiful country !! I found a really low time 880 a year ago an bought it... love the saw but I put a 60" Stihl bar on it and it sucks 🫤 I'm gonna go with something like a 48" or ? The 60" bends terribly if you try to do a face cut. If you're just cutting a log it's ok. Thanks for the ride along... Epic 😉😁
I'm verging on buying the 585 carb and getting rid of the autotune. Just not sure it will be rich enough for the capacity difference.@@jeffschroeder9089
