    To me, reading a plug is a secondary check... not primary.

    Does anyone ever change their Stihl saws to EZ start?

    Carrying a chansaw on a tractor

    I've been thinking about something lately, but don't want to tie up the 3PH for that. I've always used the loader bucket, but admit it;s not ideal.

    Why I love a 50cc saw.

    Me too! The 576 has just gotten too heavy. I'm thinking of a 562 for the big saw in the three saw plan... Hey wait.. that would be a four saw plan.

    Your chain of choice on a 50 cc saw?
