Was bucking up In May landing with a almost new 461 last week it was 4 I was burned right out from falling timber In the heat... Jamed the saw in the tree lengh pile instead of being smart and cutting it out I thought oh ill just bump it with the skid steer when I Finnish piling what's bucked up ahead of it and as u can gues I bumped a log it rolled down broke the handle and brake handle and gas tank.:.

Good thing stihl has a huge aftermarket parts support on ebay  Always happens when your tired better to sit down for 15min drink and have a snack always helps. Good thing you didnt get hurt

So you're saying I should not do that anymore??

Stuff like that happens. More than some of us will admit. Don't know how many times I have pulled on a log with a tractor to get a hung saw loose instead of going to the truck and getting another saw. One of these days it will bite me.

Course two hung saws calls for desperate matters.

It seems with me any time I go for one of those short cuts when I am tired It always ends of bad with something broke or me hurt. 30 years ago I broke my father inlaws [BIG I CAN'T LIVE WITH OUT SAW]  using a tractor and chain to move the log the saw was pinched on. It all went wrong. A lot of time and money was spend by me to get the saw back in shape.

Yep. Was skidding Saturday. Tired and aggravated. Saw my old 029 setting over to the side of the skid road and though I ought to stop and move it. Didn't and yes I wish I had of now. Didn't even feel the tractor run over it.

A few weeks ago, I was done for the day, and instead of lugging the saw back to the house, I figured I'd just roll the tractor bucket down over it for the night.  What I didn't see was the little stick that flopped the saw over just as I put the bucket down.  Cost me a handlebar on the 372.  Sure felt like a dumbass!
