How to Remove Stumps Three Different Ways

- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- In this video, we use some different ways to remove some stumps. We experiment using two different patterns of cuts with a chainsaw and drilled holes in another. The chainsaw methods seemed to work the best for us, but we gave them all a good shot.

My mom never lets a good fire go to waste. If we were burning stumps like this, she'd be getting some chicken/beef/fish/anything ready to get grilled/cooked. Thanks for your video. It was very useful and helpful.
I'm sure you loved your mom's cooking. Lucky guy!
Just watched the first video, read many of the comments, and then used the link in the pinned comment to come watch this video.
First of all, it takes a real mature man to read and take to heart the criticisms of others and then try to address many of them in your next video on the subject. To me, it shows you have integrity and the added humor of playing the same music in the beginning was great!
Second, someone please correct me if I am wrong, I don’t believe you said anything in your first video about it being the best way to remove a stump or that you were the expert! You only stated that it was how you did it on your land and, while it may not have been the most effective/quickest/safest way on other people’s property, it was effective and worked for what you needed.
Obviously, we all need constructive criticism and hopefully we strive to continue to learn throughout our lives. That being said, our world today could use a lot less criticism just for criticism’s sake/negative comments and a lot more encouraging and positive comments to others! I will say I was encouraged to read the positive comments on this video, especially the ones that said something similar to, “I prefer/think the 55 gallon drum method works better but I like that he took the comments from his last video to heart and tried to address them and improve on this video, and because of that I think he deserves to get his channel going etc.”
I enjoyed both videos and because of that along with the other things I mentioned you have gained a new subscriber and I wish you the best with your channel. I am not an expert on stump removal, nor do I ever recall having to remove a stump, only deep roots from a neighbor’s tree/stump that was removed from their yard, but if you had the time and ability to do a video on the 55 gallon drum method I would enjoy seeing you do a video of that just for comparison’s sake and because so many people have recommended that. Good luck with your channel and all your future endeavors!
Thank you for all your kind words and encouragement. I may do a video with a barrel in the future. I also want to do a video with some non fire methods, as burning is not always possible.
Welcome to the channel and I hope you find many useful and enjoyable things!
Well said!!!!
Aaron Booth brilliant constructive comments, which I couldn’t agree more with..... I’m subscribed 😀
Perfect comment! ❤️ I love how humble and beautiful he is! Right there I became a subscriber! His wife is lucky! God bless! ☝️🏻🙏🏻❤️
I happen to like the music.. not annoying at all.. keep doing these.. I am going to attempt fence line stump removal.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five stars for taking so much trouble and man hours to share these info with the world.
Thank you for watching and commenting!
These were both wonderful videos. You did wonderful at answering peoples comments and addressing their negativity. I commend you on that. You have more patience then me on even trying to make such videos. Our homestead here in Tennessee has had many stumps and so many people just want to say get a stump removal drill they just don't understand their is a certain pride in doing things the old fashion way. Our family is new fans of yours. May God watch over and protect your family and homestead always.
I like the way youve revisited this, its honest and I like that. Great video, thank you.
Imagine someone making a mistake and then fixing it.
For what it's worth, I found the music cheerful and uplifting. Do your own thing. There will always be criticism. Thanks for the vid. Very helpful.
Thank you for the encouraging words and also for watching and commenting!
I watched both videos and I like both. Very easy to understand and simple steps to follow...now I know how I'll get rid of my stumps and save $300. Thanks!
Worth noticing the way You responded to the comments. I see you have an excellent family and your wife must be proud to have a host-farmer like you.
We're still recovering from the music. The hypnotherapist comes Wednesday to help us all put it behind us. My wife is recovering well from her burns after she set herself on fire trying to make the music go away. This is a better video.
Looks like y’all have deeper issues than this video
@@B1974-d6x While our issues may seem trivial, the damage the music causes is not to be underestimated.
I felt like I was on little house on the prairie. With the slave master chasing me.
Really glad you had the family in this video, it made it a lot more fun! Thanks.
At least you spent time with your family and had a meal together outside and taught your kids something They won’t forget that quality time they spent with there dad. Reminds me of when I was a kid. Wish my dad was still alive . Hang in there man you took your kids to church you are doing a good job as a Dad!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Their not "there".
My hat is off to anyone who would go through this much trouble showing me what he has tried. I have a big stump that has to go and I will try one of these methods. Thanks Neal for letting me know all this.
Don't know how I ended up here at 2.50 AM but im hooked.
Listening to your wife paid off big time, smart guy, great video. Very helpful thanks
Great videos. One thing you never do is make everyone happy. Keep making these videos. People like them. And I actually enjoyed the music.
Thanks so much for this video. I was considering renting a stump grinder today. Now I am certain I will rent one as I have 50 plus stumps to grind. Thank you for all your efforts.
LOL, I died laughing when that same music started. Great sense of humor! I like the triangle cut, but next time, take a crowbar and see if you can easily pry the triangle on all three sides if it will crack loose lower down and make a nice little pit in the middle of the stump. I'd like to know if that would work. I won't be able to try it myself till about 4-5 months later when I return to Panama City Fl, where some trees came down in my woods. Kudos to your wife's idea, and you for a much better video.
Joe Zyzyx I live in Panama City lol. I’m trying to figure out how to get rid of all the hurricane stumps
Use wedges to split the cuts
Many an armchair utube expert has never even picked up and run a chainsaw.You don't owe any apology, the first video was enjoyable and I learned something new.
Great video! I watched to the end and enjoyed your calm calculated method! Thanks for sharing! May I share my stump removal process? I leave the stump as I fell it, then shovel away dirt and debris best I can, then get out the power washer. I use the power of the water to excavate and blow away the dirt. Takes mere minutes to expose the roots deep enough to cut em with a recprocating saw below the soul line. Job done! Thank you again for sharing!!!
I was looking through RUclips on the best method to start a brush fire and found this one to be the best. I've saved to my favorites for reference later.
Wasn't sure why I watched the first, now I will only say curiosity brought me to the second.
Amending my comment to say, the 10:40 mark made it worth watching.
You’ve got a very warm soul my friend. Wish I had neighbors like you.
I think the idea with the 4 holes is that you don't put anything on top of it, you just put 1 rag down from the top and use the other 4 holes for oxygen supplies. By putting wood and coal on the top hole it blocks the oxygen supply making the fire go out.
I also think there is quite a good logic behind the wholes as outtake and the center hole intake, but i won't test it neither.
Big improvement over the first video , well done!
Getting the kids involved is great.
This guy is so much cooler than the Epson Salt stump guy! 😂
LOL
🤣🤣
Same algorithm
Neil, you're a good guy! I can tell! And how refreshing in a world of scoundrels and shrill voices clamoring to dominate and disrespect "better" than others...
Just wanted to say that Sir!
Hey, I learned a bit from this one. I've always wanted to live out in the country but haven't been able to escape city living. I do however live right on the line that separates "County" (can burn) from "City" (CANNOT burn) here in Rockford, IL. And I have an elderly neighbor I really respect (who lives on the "County" side of the fence), and he's been asking me if I could help him get rid of some stumps in his yard.
I liked your ideas. And I think I'm gonna try the "waffle cut" your wife suggested ya try, and supplement it with a cut off 55 gallon drum (the top 18 inches or so). I'll use that as a fire ring, and build a fire on top of and around the stump.
Thanks again for the video and sharing your ideas. And keep up the good work out there in Missouri!
I appreciate this. I live on a plot of land with a few stumps I want to get rid of and there's no way to get a grinder to them, so this is really useful to me. Thank you!
Thanks for the video. I've got about 100 pine stumps to take care of, and I'm glad for the help. Cheers.
For the drilled hole method, your horizontal hole needs to be bigger, also only one (large) horizontal hole is needed. Also if you decide to blow air on it, do it from the side, as that’s the natural flow of air in a rocket stove. Add a flue and you’ll burn faster and cleaner
Great points. Also, a real drill and multiple 1-1/2 or 2-inch holes would start off MUCH faster.
I think the one that's been drilled they drop some marshmallows down in it and that's why it's burning lol
The idea was the simplest and that was the first video you made annoying as people might get I thought it was a wonderful video and it was very least costly if you're going to wear out three chains to get the thing you might as well cut it down and not even make a video if you're going to waffle it it's about going anyway so I wouldn't let all those people out not your opinion away I thought it was very bold and wonderful video the very first one that you made and after a day the stuff is gone and very cost effective a very good weekend adventure to get rid of a stuff and those people in the city they don't need to be burning anyway
Blowing air down also blows all your coals right out of the horizontal holes. The fire won't stay lit because the stuff that is burning keeps getting pushed out the sides. ruclips.net/video/TuiXfS6eL7Y/видео.html
All the holes needed to be bigger I think the inlets could have worked but you would need a bigger and deeper vertical hole but deep enough that some ash clogs up the inlets
If you know what's better for you?! You better say her method is the Best!!!! Period!!
Thanks for the video. I've tried several methods myself of getting rid of stumps. It's tricky no matter how you do it.
Excellent that you took the time to go back so many times. Most videos dont show end results.
Stump + Fire = The best reason to drink some beer!
cook out time!
Sure, if you're an alcoholic. Then you will use any excuse.
Thank you for this video and the first one. We enjoyed both!
Neal admitted that he listened to his wife's idea. He is a smart man and he has a happy wife who is less likely to kill him in his sleep. Now I heard him mention his wife's method is the fastest. He will live a long and happy life.
I mean, look at it! It actually worked. So it wasn't a "my wife is right" just for the heck of it. I'm about to try it on the stump in my front yard tomorrow! Won't have to pay for a grinder as I planned.
@@memestheword5570 - - post your own results, if you please.
And then a good barber
Hahaha or a stump grinder
@@memestheword5570 hij7uu⁸y99
Great instructional video...good job listening to your wife! Nice looking family!
I called a local stump removal guy. He charged me $50.00 to take out 3 stumps. One of them was about 3 feet in diameter. Even took out all the roots that went out from the stump and left me with some great mulch. It took him about 30 minutes to do all of them. Worth every penny. And, my chainsaw is still very sharp!
ha! thanks for the post from 1966! My tree guy charged $350 for ONE 36" stump and one 8" one, (both cut flush to the ground last year) and 20 min to remove a 12' maple sapling. Still waiting on the stumps, and the deal was struck a month ago.
Yeah I work for a tree company. Three stumps would take way longer to remove to a proper depth and it must have been with a handheld grinder because gas and transportation would have cost more. Plus they must have been dried out or something cuz I dont know anyone that would do it that cheap. It is worth the money but it's way more expensive lol
Good video!! We use a battery powered leaf blower to stoke our fires outside, works great!!!
I like a barrel method with hot coals. It burns deep. Plus you can burn other brush at the same time.
Thanks for the video. I like the waffle method and will definitely try it on my stubborn pine stumps. And kudos for listening to your wife! It’s nice to see y’all working together as a family.
I always use the same 3 simple tools when removing tree stumps; *my neighbors: "Moe, Larry, and Curly."*
Really liked the matter of fact, no gimmicks,presentation
I'm subscribing just because I appreciate the way you handled the criticism from your
previous video. I've only got 2 stumps in my suburban yard so burning is pretty much out of the question. But
I plan on following your channel for any other tricks I can learn for maintenance on my "homestead"
Nice job!
Put a bag of rock salt on top. Let the weather work on it. It will rot. Than you can break it down.
Great video man-sincere work and even though a couple stumps didn’t work as well as you wanted, I was intrigued the whole time.
Thanks for watching the whole time and commenting!
The 50 gallon drum method is the easiest. It takes a few days but it keeps the fire from spreading.
@SaltyBrains so funny, that's how I got here too!..After seeing the 55 gal drum, theres not much to see anywhere else... but I would like to see this mans channel here work as he is trying hard!!!
Me 3, 50 gallon is the way to go
@@redsandokan me 4,
Dude is very good with a chainsaw. Precise.
The people being critical of the holes he drilled I guarantee have never tried drilling holes in stumps before. Stumps don't drill like lumber unless you're using a $500 Bosch Hammer. I bet he spent close to an hour drilling for this video.
That cross hatched cut method is the one that I use along with a leaf blower to keep it hot. Use that...
TheSpoonyluvin I used the Bosch hammer and it still takes forever
Nice honest video and a genuine guy. Thanks
Thank you for watching and commenting!
best way iv have seen is using a 55 gallon drum with the top cut out fit over the stump and just keep ading wood to the drum and in the morn. the drum should set down in the ground where the fire followed the roots
Nice comparison, thanks! I didn't want to say anything in the last video but the background music was much better in this one😁
I think I would've tried soaking that 2nd stump with diesel (maybe for an entire day) before trying to burn it just because it was so green! Liked seeing y'all roast hot dogs and s'mores... don't let a good fire go to waste! Take care and God Bless!
If using the drill method, you want to use a large auger bit not a spade bit. Using a coffee can with both ends cut off to hold the fire on top of the stump will concentrate the heat to dry it out and start it faster
On the one hand, i feel like Neo "I know stump burning". On the other, i feel like Beavis when watching the fire "Fire, fire, fire !!". Nice informative vid, from a city dweller living in an apartment, lol. :)
i liked both videos and will be trying the waffle effect,,,,thanks for posting....charles
Thanks for taking the time to show these different methods.
Wife's idea was masterful. Use of shopvac- priceless!
Here is some additional input on this. Long before this very interesting video, I tried a few methods, one of which fits nicely with this Neal’s Homestead version. I had some tough old locust tree stumps and what I ended up doing was: 1) drilling multiple holes with my cordless drill, quarter inch bit, into the top and sides of the stump; 2) poured in kerosene and let soak in for a while; 3) ignited the kerosene with a propane torch; 4) - and this really helped with wind but also focused the burn- used an old galvanized trash/ash can to cover the whole thing. The can had some holes already so the fire breathed, but could not spread. Stump was burnt to the ground and was easier to smash up with a maul. Good luck!
I would suggest plunge cuts instead of drilling to make a rocket port, but modern saw chains have an anti kick tip feature that keeps it from cutting. The base drilling did look like a pita and cutting or drilling end grain is always tough.
When you learn to sharpen you will get a small flat file which can then be used to lower those pesky tip stoppers. As long at you use proper stiff forearm technique, removing them is very helpful for plunge and end cuts like you are doing.
Music was mixed better, I prefer it well below the ambient myself, or not at all if there's enough other good sounds.
I recommend using a push mower and bagger to remove all that crunchy fodder from around them.
Thank you for giving me an honest look at what I am able to do and what to expect, I especially liked that you did three methods, I have heard of all of them, I now know I will have to let my stumps dry out some. And even though it is very aggressive the waffle method has great potential.
Your waffle method is definitely the best of these. However, to make so many cuts with the grain of the tree you should consider outfitting your chainsaw with a ripping chain. It would make that part of the job a lot easier.
Great videos.
What is a ripping chain
Happy wife , happy life . I wish utube was around when I was married .lol
The rocker mass heater stump (the one with holes drilled), that method also involves placing a barrel over the stump to hold the heat in. Others who did it right found that the stump burned out below the level of the soil. So, it helps to go through all the steps of a method to prove it out.
Yea, I saw a video with putting a barrel over the top too. Makes sense. I don't have a metal barrel or I'd do that method for sure.
The best way I've found to get the stump to burn down into the ground, cut the stump as close to the ground, build a fire on the center of the stump and lay an old car rim on it. I've done this several times. Use some charcoal to get it going good. It will burn down into the ground.
If you put an old oil barrel (empty) over using as a pipe flue leaving good opening at the bottom or may cut air holes if the barrel touch ground. You will have a rocked stove, and it will burn out everything. In addition you do not have to cut it before throwing the barrel over it. Note the heat will be extreme up to 700 C.
The reason for the stump not burning nice is the ratio of air vent side and pipe flue was wrong. Letting the fire draw air from the top an hence no circulation. If you had put a 15" (or more) pipe over the hole in the middle as long as the air vent is 1 and exhaust pipe (tube over fire) is more than 3 it sucks air from air vent and makes a rocked stove system. Forces the air to go one way and not back and forth.
a Dryer Drum From a 240 electric dryer would work awesome you can pick them up at local dumps for free unless they have a rule against taking things.. Get the right guy and he will let ya take it.
Thank you for explaining this to him. I was trying to find a comment that did that..
Thanks for your useful information. Do you by any chance have a RUclips channel?
@@fragglefknrock7568 Also, those free stainless dryer (or washer) drums make great smokeless fireplaces - fully the equal of those $300-$500 stainless versions offered online.
Great husband mentioning his wife and her method being fastest. It’s been awhile but if done right you could make stumps into rocket stoves getting best results and many good memories with the wife and kids . Nothing like having hot dogs and marshmallows. If we would of had the internet when I was growing up I’m sure this would of been my dad making a video. Great video
I don't think the holes option is the best one, but I think the kerosene rags might have worked against you. That style fire is very similar to a rocket stove. Packing the rags in defeated a lot of the work you did in the beginning drilling the holes to allow for the airflow which runs a rocket stove. You might find better luck top loading some sticks and just starting them on fire. The heat will naturally rise pulling in new cold air from the bottom to constantly fuel the fire. Blowing in from the bottom rather than the top may also help get the fire going.
Great video! I like to use a 20v DeWalt leaf blower for my fire cheating. It's adjustable so you can start slow and speed up with a little more distance. Great for starting charcoal as well. Just a tip.
10:45 = "Houston, we have lift-off".
Don’t apologize for having a go, all the best to you x
Never apologize for adapting and learning.
Nice simple method to clean up old stumps.
Just be aware that if the root system ignites it can smoulder for a VERY long time. My folks found this out the hard way 30 odd years ago. OK for autumn/winter but you don't want a tree going up like a candle, 50m from your original burn, two weeks later...
especially if the surrounding soil has a high peat composition :O It burns for AGES!
That kinda thing wont happen fire/smouldering heat and or burning cant occur and cause another tree to catch on fire 50meters away no air would be able to get under the soil for one and the roots all underneath outward from your fire will be way to wet and shut off from oxygen.. itll burn straight down not outwards.
@@fragglefknrock7568 . I think you need to look a little more at scientific facts as well as historical evidence of how ground fires work.
After 44 years of being on this earth only type of underground fire that will sustain heat is through a mining hole, coal fires. In all the years of burning stumps they burn straight down and its impossible for the root system to catch fire enough that it will spread outwards enough to catch another treee on fire from the ground up.... thats not something that happens i wouldnt worry about it.. this coming from someone whom uses dryer drums along with gasoline and old oils for stump burning along with bon fires which are very effective .
@@wanderingtrout209 the last stump i burned burnt straight into the ground about 5-6inches noo outward burning had occured oxygen is the key here too much ash overlay plus dirt puts most anything out... ever heard of how to put a very hot coaled camp fire out? dump its ashes and sand, dirt on it... IT suffocates it. Qoute ""
''Can you burn stumps?
Slow Burn. ... You might think you could just light stumps on fire and let them burn until they disappear. But since they're underground, there's no source of oxygen to sustain the flame. Even with kerosene soaked into the wood, the part of the stump under the surface won't burn.''
Love these videos, makes me want to visit Missouri
Jane,
Do please come visit!
If you have that urge, there is likely a Divine Leading behind it and Possibly a Life Critical reason for it.

I have helped about 40 families relocate here to the OzArk Plateau. Most of that 50 plus thousands of square miles, about 60 counties is in Missouri, but corners of Kansas Oklahoma and about 12 to 15 counties in NW ARKANSAS are also included.
Jerry
I’m glad I found this because at my grandparents they have a stump that is a pain in my ass to mow, so thank you.
Nice video Mr. Neal!!! Thank you for taking the time to share ; )
The drilled one...you need to keep the holes open. Stuffing stuff into the holes defeats the whole purpose, they are for air flow like a rocket stove.
TheSoloAsylum exactly
Bingo. I was yelling this at him lol. It's a turbo furnace. Fire in the middle and air draw through side
Yep - for example at 10:40 he blows the shop vac the wrong way
on the drilled one, the air has to come from below and cause a draft. You're blowing on the wrong end.
Keep the holes clear and to fire it up, place a small section of metal pipe on top. With a pipe you can even have the vent holes holes pointed slightly downwards to get the fire further down.
Thank you for wearing hearing protection this time. I wear gloves, leather boots, long sleeve shirt, long heavy pants, chain stop chaps (if I can afford them), googles, ear muffs AND ear plugs, and a face shield helmet. IMO, a chain saw is the single most dangerous power tool there is. It WANTS to maim you. Thanks for the ideas. Will use the waffle method!
That was very interesting , and good on you for making it a family event . That way it's not just another job . I have a dry ( 3 y/o ) 8" x 22" stump about one metre from my family house ( stone walls ) . I'll try the Waffle method on it so that I can lay paving there . Thankyou for the inspiration , Perth , Western Australia .
"Since we have open fires we're going to grill some Hot Dogs!" Of course! I see open fire and I run at it with a pointed stick and a pack of Kayem's!
FANTASTIC instructional. Thank you very much.
Just sharpen the drill bit when you sharpen you chain saw chain... easy.
Best part was the family roasting hotdogs! If no hurry, after cutting grooves, let it dry a season then burn.
Good video
Another good and affective way in starting a forest fire 🔥
Really nice of Quentin Tarantino to share this with us. Thanks man👍🏻
Using the shop vac isn't cheating, it's assisting.
Carol Heimbach leaf blowers work well too. ;)
First time watching! Looking to get some stumps up at my mom's house! You also remind me of my old QB... Eli Manning
When you drill the holes pour diesel or cooking oil in them and let it soak in for aday build afire on top it will burn down to the roots and smolder for a couple of days
I'm glad to have seen your video, I have a couple of stumps and will use the waffle version that you have shown. Thank you for sharing.
The method I’ve used for years is take a coffee can, and punch a small hole in the bottom, mount the can on a make shift tripod, place over stump about 1 foot, fill can with used oil, have just a steady drip of oil about 1 drop per minute, then light the stump, the can will keep feeding the fire, it’s a slow burn out, and you just keep oil in the can until the stump is burned out...have fun.
Good job 👏🏽 budd & very thorough!! Impressive
When cutting near the ground, you should use a reciprocating saw with a 10" to 12" landscaping blade....works like I charm even in dirt!
Thanks for posting that. I'm having a devil of a Time with my Pine stump. And every time I use my chainsaw it's dulling my blade.
Good suggestion, cheaper than a new chainsaw blade.
Thanks not only for your first stump burning video, but for this new and improved on. Watching the first one, I was thinking that some 1" drills would have helped that design by making the center hole larger, so was curious to see your rocket-portal method. Looked really cool with the shop vac, but I live in a area where fire mistakes can start big fires, so I am going to try your cross method where I first drill a large, maybe 2" hole, then make a cross with the chain saw so your basic method is applied, but where we have a 1" hole to pour diesel fuel down more easily, and larger starting place for your coals to drop to the bottom. Or a Variation of the Waffle where vertical drills are done in 4-5 places that would be at intersections of the waffle lines. I have a small yard with 2 stumps I need to burn down, and I will need to burn them down in a day, one where I can be working by them constantly and have a garden hose ready. I was not annoyed at the music on the first, but once you pointed it out, and then improved it, it was a little obvious. I like people that want to improve, and are able to take suggestions from the family, the community, or any other source of help. Thanks again!
Thank you for taking time to watch both videos. We appreciate the support!
If you've got to get it done fast, a stump grinder is very handy. Where/when it's safe, and you have the time, I like the burn method for the family interaction time.
I've been thinking about this video.... It's got me stumped.... Hehehehe...
😁

You posted this on my birth day 2 uears a go
You could make a whole series of stump fires. Why not treat it like a campout?
Awesome video. Thanks you
My great grandfather would cut the stump short, then clear around the stump about a foot down, cut it off again below ground level, then do the cross cuts. After that he would pour epson salt all over the top & rub it in, then pour some more on top. Then he would poured it all around the outside of the stump & pack it in place. Then he would cover it with dirt. He said it would make the stump & roots die & he would not get any sucker as growing back. I was a little girl & all I knew was grandpa said so. I always would ask watch,a do'in & why? Grandpa never got tired of me & would let me tag along. Unless he was going into the bull pasture or the horse stud pasture.
This video ran immediately after I watched your other stump video that you talk about, and I gotta tell you, i busted out laughing when The Music came on!
Ok, now to finish this video.
Cool. I have a 36" stump of an ash tree cut almost flush with the ground and I'm gonna go with the Waffle Method, but I really liked the spectacle of the drilled stump at 10:45!
thankyouthankyou for uploading this video
You gotta admit the drilled one is the most fun.
Sharpen the chain once it dulls. You can watch some tutorials if needed. Just get a round file the size of the teeth and a flat file for the rakers. One chain can cut hundreds of chords if it is sharpened.
The5140 chainsaw dull? Get a new chain? Still dull? Get a new saw. That’s what I gathered from the video.
In all seriousness, stihl makes a sharpener that’s idiot proof. Can sharpen chain in about 8 minutes
It’s cute how the Husqvarna comes in a box!
Sthil chainsaws don’t come in a box!! 📦
