    Any ideas on tools to help move heavy wood

    How about one of those Two Wheeled Carts, that a lot of Snow Mobile Shops have to move around Snow Mobiles, or something like that, where you can slide something under the log enough to get a Bite when you lift up on the Tongue or Hitch. They have tires on them the same as a Wheel Barrow. Bruce.

    Saw chain recomendations

    I have used Laser Chipper, Semi Chisel, and Chisel Chains (I think someone told me a while back that Windsor made them, but don't quote me), Oregon, Windsor, and I have also used Carlton's A-1 x 3/8 Pitch x 0.050 Gauge x 60 Links Semi Chisel Chains. I like how the Carlton Cuts, and keeps an...

    Wood Haulers - show us your woods rig.

    Hi Andy. Is this the same trailer you haul your Skidder with? I like the looks of your trailer. It looks like it can hall a Fair Jag of Fire Wood as well. How many Cord wood can it hold, or have you ever measured it by throwing Measured Cords into it? Also, does your trailers hook up to a Fifth...

    Hi Roland. I don't know if you have read my Thread that I posted a while back, I Fell Into Chain Saw Heaven, or not, but I'll be going there either Tomorrow, or Tuesday, and I can look around for this Model of Chain Saw for you, and send the Complete Unit to you if you would like. Bruce.

    Look What I Just Bought (Mostly Fault of AS)

    When I first picked this Chain Saw up off the Floor of the Small Engine Re[air Shop, I could not believe how light the Chain Saw was compared to my McCulloch Chain Saws. I was expecting a Heavy Saw, like my Macs, and reffed it up like I do with my Macs, and I almost Played Chin Music on Myself...

    Look What I Just Bought (Mostly Fault of AS)

    Hey, I know what you mean, about the Fault of AS. LOL. I was always a Vintage McCulloch Man through and through. Because of the weight of the my Chain Saws, I needed to get a lighter Chain Saw. It took a lot of talking from a few of the Members of AS, to convince me otherwise. Here is the Saw I...

    inherited saws need chains

    Why do you want to sell these Chain Saws? Why not keep them? Or do they not have any Centamental Value to them? I have 4 Chain Saws, that I will Never sell for this reason. My Great Uncle was the Original Owner of 3 of these Chain Saws, Mac 10-10 Automatic, Pro Mac 60, and a Mini Mac 30. My Dad...

    Has anyone Heard of doing this, or Done this while Mixing Gas/Mix?

    I've been told, that the Oil's and Fuels today, are not like what they used to be. Ethanol Gas, and Bio Diesel, and less and less Foscil Fuels, and Sulfur Blends being not like the used to be for Environment Reasons. It doesn't hurt to have a little Added Protection, or Assurances, especially...

    Has anyone Heard of doing this, or Done this while Mixing Gas/Mix?

    My Great Uncle was a General Mechanic by Trade. He also was almost like a Genius, and if someone couldn't figure out how to fix something, well he could. When he used to mix up his Gas Mix, he would mix up 2 Gallons at a time. When he measured he would put in one Full Gallon, and add 9/10's of...

    Bound Up Saw

    There are some Exceptions to Every Rule, that you have just shown. If you see how this person operates your, or his Equipment, and handles it better than you do, then Yes let him borrow it, but if you don't like how he does things, then don't. Bruce.

    Funny saw stories! Lets hear EM!!

    LOLOLOLOL. I had an experience with one of those Smart Engineer Types as well, but with Watter. He was a Drainage Engineer, and he tried to tell me that water runs up hill. I asked him to explain his theory, and he couldn't. Did the Chips go the other way for this one? Bruce.

    Bound Up Saw

    +2. I have to agree here. Next time, your neighbor wants to borrow a chain saw, tell him that you will run it, and here is my Hourly Rate. I used to have a neighbour like that, and always wanted to borrow something. I always said that I would run it, and told him my Hourly Rate, or go and rent...

    Chaps appreciation.

    Every time I hear about someone getting cut, or have a close call with a Chain Saw, I just Cringe. My Aunt's Brother, was cut pretty bad by a Chain Saw, in the Neck. When he went to get Stitched up at The Hospital, the Surgeon said that he could see the Jugular Vein, from the Cut. Now he has...

    Sharpening questions

    I used to use an Oregon Filing Guide that clamps onto the Bar, for a lot of years. Six years ago, I decided to get one of those Tecomec FL 136 (same out fit as the Efco FL 136 and made by the same Company) Bench Grinders. I wished I had gotten it 20 Years Prior, to when I bought it. If you buy...

    The Old Giants

    I was wanting to talk to the Owner, But he was so Busy with Customers, that I didn't have a Chance to talk with him. What I'd like to do, if he would let me, is take them on Consignment, and post them here on AS, and sell them to you Members, for what he wants for them, plus the Shipping. It's a...
