I am from the pacific islands... Shindaiwa is a very popular brand here 👍 the name speaks for itself. From brushcutters, chainsaws, and blowers. A true performance product 💯🤙👍
Cheers cobber. If the fireplace is a future project this wood is definitely going into it 😆 There's nothing good there mate - don't even know what kind of tree it is.
I've heard that Shindaiwa are the best chainsaws in the world. I have an Echo, which apparently comes off the same production line as the Shindaiwa. I love my Echo, and it looks almost identical. Great video, mate.
Cheers mate. Yep - Echo took over Shindaiwa I think - or the other way around. Fantastic little saw that one. Has never let me down in many years of cutting hundreds of pallets up for firewood. (and the odd tree here and there)
The lumber is already 'seasoning' and will be ready to make glorious heat next winter in the wood burner 😁 . It wasn't much good and I don't have the right chain or anything to mill (rip down) green wood into planks. The chainsaw is a real beauty though - love that little guy.
What was that stuff you had to put in it??? Where do the batteries go??? That was the cleanest chainsaw I have ever seen, I need to send mine your way for a valet.
Enjoyed the video immensely Rob, nothing quite like a two-stroke at full noise eh :-). I have never heard of the Shindaiwa chainsaw before, maybe it is peculiar to NZ, but it looks to be a nice unit. I have to do a full service on a chainsaw this week, not sure what brand, but it is one of the common orange and white professional ones, either Husqvarna or Stihl I think - work it out when I see it, but the two stroke ones are all pretty similar - sometimes the service becomes a rebuild, which is why it is wise to follow your advice on mixing the fuel, although a bit more oil never hurt. Nice job on the tree too, you probably saved a bit of money too, the professionals around here charge about $500 (usually a Kiwi bloke) to $1000 (always an Aussie :-) )for that.
Cheers Bob. Around here the kiwi bloke is $1000 and the Samoan crew will do it for $500. Shindaiwa has taken over Echo now as well and they are essentially the same saw now. Owned by a Japanese parent company that runs the two brands. I don't know what markets they are in though. Can you do a service on me Ryobi cobber?
@@TakamiWoodshop Actually I think what we call Kiwis might be Samoans, but they speak with a Kiwi accent :-)) Send your Ryobi over and I'll see what I can do. I think I may have touched a Ryobi one years ago, it was beyond economical repair as I recall - some plastic bit had failed - lots of plastic from memory .
Thought the neighbors satilite was a goner there for a mo 😂 nice saw much better than my chinesium one that wont start. Gonna save up for a makita eletric one I dont have much use for a petrol one. Also you have orange trees! Thought nz climate was much like Ireland's or is that just the south island?
Yeah man that cable to pull it our side didn't work so well - my boy wasn't pulling on it hard enough. The Makita batty saw looks awesome! Will serve you well. The tree there is actually a lemon tree - it fruits really well and the neighbour requested that I keep that one cos he gets a few over his side as well. Behind it is the wonderful feijoa tree. Don't know if you know what that is but .. nom nom nom.
Lemon tree mate, followed by a feijoa tree - building a carport there one of these years but will be sad day saying goodbye to the feijoa - love those bloody things - dunno if you have them there?
@@TakamiWoodshop Wow, they look huge mate! Yeah they grow here, but we call them Guava trees. Actually, we have a couple of Pineapple Guava trees that the missus planted. 👍 Maybe you should plant some more now before you cut it down? Besides that, they need to cross pollinate. 👌
Pineapple Guava - yep that's the one. I might be able to get away with keeping it if I plan right but it will be tricky space wise. Don't have any more places to plant really though - they get pretty big.
I haven't read the other comments but I am guessing the safety police have given you a bollocking for this one. When you lifted the saw above shoulder height I could hear the furious typing...
Thanks mate - send me a thousand bucks and I'll go get it. Until then - if I have work to do - I'll do it. And if I watch RUclips and don't like the way someone else does it - I'll keep my opinions and criticisms to myself. Mats! Manners!
Btw, I see you are planning on building a car port and not a van port. That is the right way to go! I am personally not a fan on my chainsaw because it is old and always a pain to start. I am sure if I had something newer that worked as well as yours that I would want to use it all the time!
I'm not a fan of the Ryobi saw - don't even think it works. The Shindaiwa a fantastic. It never fails to start and will run all day long without any issues. Carport ... yes.... vanport ... no 👍💯

Hey JayVin - cheers for the comment. Absolutely love my Shindaiwa! Have a great day. 🎄
Ripper little chainsaw mate, good to see an explanation on the mix & how to operate it, hope that wood goes into future projects 🍻👍👍👍👍👍

I keep that thing clean mate and it keeps me happy year after year - probably had it 8 or 9 years now.
I never knew there was so much oil involved in cutting down trees!
Of course the burning question is, what will you be making with the timber?
Hey Pete, within the burning question lies the answer - I will be letting the wood season for a year and then I will be making heat with it.

I think my one is dead to tell the truth 😵
hey mate well done just a little tip when your adjusting your chain tension lift the bar up from the tip it will tension properly
thanks mate I'll try that.
I have a big echo its great same saw just the window dressing is different if you dont lift the bar the chain goes slack when you do a downhand cut
Laundry powder measuring cup! 👌
Yep ... I use those little buggers for everything 👍

@@TakamiWoodshop never heard of it but now I must try. Lemon tree now I could do with one of them for the odd gnt 😉
could do with a lime tree too.
Not a bad chainsaw, mate. 👍
It's red! 😂😂😂 goes faster.
That an orange or grapefruit tree in the back there?
Bloody loaded with fruit, woohoo. 👌

First !
Doing some "real mans" work !!
Gotta do what you gotta do - good fun though, and have to get rid of the tree now.

lol - yeah - I did get one comment - but sweet fa views on this one so no opportunity to pick up any more. Not such a bad thing.

Ha ! yeah. I'm planning on putting a carport in there some time so it was kind of a win win.
That’s not too bad then.
