Thats a good tip thank you. John

Farming is hard if you have debt. We get firewood most Sunday afternoons although not as much as we needed to before I built our firewood splitter. We have become more efficient lately so we have a fair bit in reserve. Firewood is one chore I look forward to its strait forward cleans up the place and we get a valuable resource. John

I have the 62 cc saw I use it for smaller more precise work its a great saw. I am always impressed every time I use it. John

R&D, Wages, rent, insurance, taxes, etc, are killers

The only thing is now to see how long they last. John

Yes R&D Rip Off & Duplicate. = $0 Ha Ha. John

Thanks for watching and commenting. John

Thanks, will do! Thanks very much for your support. John

Yes I wouldn't put anything smaller than 25inch. I have a longer bar on one of my 066 saws so I didn't get a long bar with the saw. John

You cant have to many chainsaws. John

Thanks for your support. John

No problem 👍 Thanks very much for watching. John

Thanks very much. I appreciate your support. John

Good on you Jim. John

Yes I will incorporate some footage in my next video I will let you know. John

Well it depends on what you want the saw for. If its an all round saw for a bit of fire wood and general clean up then I would go for the 70 cc. If you want a saw to cut big firewood rounds and fell big trees then I would go for the 91.6cc saw. John

@@farminglifeaustralia6716 probably the 70cc mate. I dont drop too many big trees, more often cleaning up the big limbs the gums drop. Though i coukd use the power on some big turpentine trees that come down - high silica wood

@@stevendownes7508 If you were rich you would buy both. Ha Ha. John

Thanks for your support. John

Not much I get a few commissions. I get invited to exhibit time is the problem. John

All my Perla Barb saws are going good. I have heard from buyers who have had small problems and Jono & Johno have fixed it up ASAP. I own an 066 and they are a very good saw if treated properly. The saw that Perla Barb sells is made in China and branded with other brands as well as Perla Barb. I have seen them for sale in the US sites and branded as Holtsforma not the old ones they are different. I think because the 066 was such a good saw and the size is good for a felling saw is probably the reason it was a saw that was copied. I think it depends on what you are doing with your saw. If you rely on your saw for a living then thats a different thing to needing a saw on a farm to do general farm work. The other thing is if you know very little about chain saws you are probably better to go to a shop and buy a new saw and let them service it and keep it running. I am a bit shy of second hand saws unless I know the history. John

Thanks John, I went for an 064 thats been looked over by the a local fella that specialises in older Stihls. Unfortunately I haven't had great dealings with my local stihl shop. so I would rather spend the money on a second hand saw and save having to deal with them. Once my old 034 finally decides to die I think it will be a Perla Barb v1 to replace it. Thanks for your advice, really appreciate it

Get off your arse. Look lively. Cant think of one word. I have thought I need to get up and do something often myself. John

👍John

I think its a common way. John

The 62cc isn't a direct copy of anything (unlike the 70cc husky clone, or the 90cx stihl clone). Its apparently a stand alone model, but a decent one - according to the bloke at Jono and Jono i spoke to

Yes 066 Stihl and the 70cc is a copy of the Husqvarna 375. John

@@stevendownes7508 oh ok

Zenoah I think

Yes thats right. John

The smallest chainsaws I have seen are about 25cc . Electric battery ones are common in smaller ones now. John

I notice much difference to the 066. I must weigh them both. John
