Chain saw and a mount grapple for a bucket?

[jltrent]

I have a few 288's, I like them but unless I'm falling and bucking trees over 20" I'd rather have a 70ish cc saw.. a Stihl 044 or Husky 272/372 is plenty.. I have a few 394's ported and those are awesome, would like to get a 395 to try out.

My 064/066 is miserable, 210 lbs compression.. it didnt' have a compression release when I took this vid, it was actually playing nice this time, some times there was just nothing you could do to start it, it would fire and no matter how hard you held that handle it was ripping it out of your hands

Nesikep I enjoy your posts....I am building 064 currently and have been doing some reading. From what I have read a coil mismatch will cause some of the hard jerking. The wrong coil will fire too early and cause jerking.

An 064 coil should look like this and if it has any other coil on it the saw will about take your arm off trying to crank from my understanding...

Here is new replacement ones 4-sale

Here are 4 of my 066/MS660 Stihls and I have found putting a lite bar on them for how they will cut really helps on the weight.

the 064/066 was fine before I did a lot of work to it, dropped the cylinder about .060" I think, cut the squish band, etc.. it's just a farmertec top end I wanted to play with.. Have to figure out a fueling issue, starves for fuel after 10 seconds of hard work, not the tank vent, probably fuel filter.
