    372xpw fix or sell

    Personally, if I were chainsaw milling, I'd want a minimum of a 90cc saw.

    mustang gt or camaro ss?

    I know a lot of people love Dodge, but my experience with them renders me completely uninterested. Yes, they make some flashy vehicles, but their engineering and reliability are sub par. That being said, the challenger is a nice looking vehicle.

    mustang gt or camaro ss?

    They built them to crumple tail gates and make operating the gate impossible in certain situations? Well, like I said, whatever blows your dress up. ;-)

    mustang gt or camaro ss?

    Articulation is good, frame flex is bad.

    mustang gt or camaro ss?

    Ya know, my gut wants the stick, but on the other hand, the new 8 speed auto is lighting quick and a couple tenths faster in the quarter mile. But the real kicker for me is the lack of remote start on the stick.

    mustang gt or camaro ss?

    I appreciate Mustangs, but I simply love the styling of the 5th and 6th generation Camaros. I don't know what they're paying the artist, but they deserve a raise.

    Personally, I don't know how any mustangs sell considering the current camaro.

    USPS and Miller Mod Saws

    Sounds to me like you want priority service for parcel post cost. Ever heard of getting what you pay for?

    I had some fuel questions........

    Shhh! Don't confuse me with facts!

    I had some fuel questions........

    Only problem is that Stihl recommended 50:1 before the EPA was in existence. So, if they recommend using that ratio before any emissions need, you can bet your arse that's what they think is best for the saw cause you know as well as I do they'd rather sell more oil than less. Or course, you...

    I think you've got way too much time on your hands.

    So if I was dumb enough to buy a homeowner model Stihl saw...Which?

    Not to be obtuse here, but if you're just wanting a small saw for occasional small limbs and it's going to be kept in a toolbox, why not just keep a small hand saw in there? 2 cycles don't like to sit for long periods of time, and that means you'll probably spend more time maintaining it than...

    This is how some people feel about ported saws

    Perception is reality. You obviously have different views of customer modifications than the other guy. Best to just leave it at that and move on. Here's what he's thinking when he hears "ported saw." http://images3.popcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/spoiler.jpg Here's what you're...

    Stihl 088 damage

    I'm not the most observant guy in the world, but I think it's pretty clear that a hole in the piston is the problem.

    a big sarcastic thank you to stihl!

    Nothing worse than a know it all whose only mission is to prove he knows more than you. They're a dime a dozen in this type of business.

    Mastermind Not Taking New Work?

    Hence, option 1. :P You don't have to go bigger if you don't want to. But, if you are getting more work than you can handle, then the market is telling you that you're selling too cheap. That is, of course, your prerogative. As price increases, demand goes down, and vice versa. There's a...

    Mastermind Not Taking New Work?

    Here's some free advice and it's worth exactly what you paid for it. :P If you're turning work down and you're booked til October, as a business you need to do one of two things. 1) increase your price or 2) increase your production capability (hire and train some help)

    I'm fed up with the ridiculous high price of Stihl, Husqvarna top handle saws

    Why? Your post makes no sense. Let me ask you this. Fiscally speaking, which is less expensive to design and manufacture, a physically larger conventional saw that has a basic design in production for 40 years with numerous competitors on the market, or an ultra lightweight tool where...

    I'm fed up with the ridiculous high price of Stihl, Husqvarna top handle saws

    Seems to me that tools are the last thing you want to cheap out on when you make your living with them. How many trees do you have to cut to pay for a saw? Surely can't be that many. How long are you willing to mess with an inferior product over the few dollars you'll save and make back in a...
