Chainsaw kit:

Feedback on my chainsaw kit?

This all fits in the rigid tool box and I can throw it into the back of my vehicle.

Here’s what I have:
(My main saw is a MS261)

- 2 cans of pre mix fuel
- 1 bottle of oil mix
- 1 1 quart of bar oil
- 2 big wedges
- 4 medium wedges
- 2 small wedges
- Folding saw
- Folding Shovel
- Hatchet
- Small axe
- spare bar
- 4 spare chains
- spark plug, starter rope, bar nuts, carb tool (I realize these are needed for my saw)
- Reflective vest
- First aid kit with TQ
- 2 pairs of leather work gloves
- 1 pair of rubber dipped work gloves
- Mesh goggles
- 2 Clear safety glasses
- UV safety glasses
- many earplugs
- 2 pairs of safety glasses
- Electronic ear muffs
- Ratchet Strap
- Multi Tool
- 2 Chainsaw wrenches
- Stihl Combo file tool
- Extra files
- Chainsaw chaps
- electrical tape
- sharpies
- microfiber towels
- 3 Bottles of drinking water
- 3 protein bars
- 2 Trash Bags
- Tow strap
- 2 shackles
- Bright Flashlight
- Knife
- paper towels

And my hard hat: which has
- ear muffs built into it
- and a very bright headlamp

I also have like a pole saw, some other bigger and smaller chainsaws but thought a 261 would be perfect for this kit. I also have more chaps and fuel and stuff in my garage to pick from if it were a bigger endeavor.

Any thoughts? What to add? (Or remove)

MS 391 vs MS 362

Hi, I am based in Australia, there is around a 127 USD difference between the 391 and 362, is the 362 better considering it has less cc than the 391. Mainly using if for clearing medium to large trees on my land. Is the 362 worth the extra money?

Thanks

New to me MS460 Magnum and recently bought older used MS250

I got a brand new MS250 for Christmas last year and, unfortunately, during a tree trimming in a man basket a limb took it down about 30 foot and cracked the gas tank. Working on procurement of parts but in the mean time went ahead and picked up these two beauts. Have about 5-8 acres of mixed woods I'm clearing for pasture and wanted something with a bit more oomph for felling as I had to dog on the 250s pretty hard. Also wanted something that would absolutely rip on a 24/25" bar. Already looking into mods for the 460 especially lol.

I’m a sucker for free saws set out for the trash

Wife spotted it in on the curb in a box. Pulls over with compression, gas didn’t even smell stale

What Chaps?

I looked through some of the threads on chaps and they're older. What brand and style of chainsaw chaps do people recommend? I am not looking for pants as I want to take the chaps off once done cutting. I have used the cheap Stihl chaps, but I find them super hot.

Big saw for big wood

The 3120xp isn’t flashy but it’s a torque monster. Got this saw at auction, put some time and a few parts into it. It shines in big wood, but definitely not a climbing saw, lol.

Husqvarna 50

Got to pick this up and bring it home last night, going to take it apart and give it a good clean and see how it goes once it's back together

Cs590 mods

I got a 590 back in May and absolutely love but I can't leave stuff stock for long so almost immediately I started modding it so far I have a tune and exhaust deflector and a air filter seal. Any ideas for further mods that don't include major engine work and don't hurt reliability?
