    Would you buy a saw here?

    Wow, you've been in the secret basement! I know the Purolator guy who used to delivery saws to him and he hasn't even been down there; he used to pass the boxes down through the basement window. Me and my buds figure it is probably a palace down there were everything is well organized and clean ;)

    Would you buy a saw here?

    When I went to buy the saw there was a line up of people to see him, some of whom had driven a fair distance just to do so. He's got quite a reputation it seems & his prices for new saws are at least $100 cheaper than any where else. Ironically he had no used saws to sell me when I asked !??!

    Would you buy a saw here?

    The attached pic is from a saw dealer in Burks Falls, Ontario. This is the entrance way to his shop/house. The guy has been selling saws for years & apparently was at one point one of the top Stihl dealers in NA. I bought a new Husky saw from him & was amazed when he pulled a brand new bar from...

    Husky 357 or 365?

    I'm looking to get a new saw and I'm considering either a 357xp or 365. They are both around the same hp (4.4 vs. 4.6), but the 357 has a higher rpm. I'll only being using the saw to cut firewood and clear some brush occasionally & small trees. Any opinions?

    Run away Mac

    I'm not sure if it's a super 797 or not. Any way of telling? I'll try adjusting the carb and see what happens.

    Nope. Haven't had time to look into it. I may just get rid of it.

    Run away Mac

    I got an old Mac 797 that revs up on its own without me giving it gas! It starts o.k & idles. After giving it full throttle, it will rev down a bit, then rev up again on its own. The throttle doesn't seem to be stuck, and I'm at a bit of a loss as to why it is doing this? The only thing I have...

    Torque.........Defined???

    Re: Torque and power diagramm Wow! Who are competitors A & B? (or will you get sued if you tell us) Also, I'm curious as to what the torque curves look like below 6500 RPM. Are they relatively flat, or do they drop off.

    Husky vs. Stihl - Which has better torque?

    Re: Re: Husky vs. Stihl - Which has better torque? Flipjack sure has been paying attention, but has not seen the conversation going anywhere usefull, so I kept my pie hole shut. Let's say I took a 357 xp & an 036 with a 24" bar and tried to push them through a big piece of hardwood to...

    Torque.........Defined???

    Power (hp) = Torque(ft-lb) * RPM / 5252. Horsepower is basically the rate at which work is done.

    Husky vs. Stihl - Which has better torque?

    Which has better low end torque Husky or Stihl? Most people tell me that Stihl has better low end torque but Husky has better high end performance?

    New bar for Mac 797 ?

    Anybody know where I can find a new bar that will fit a Mac 797. I'm looking for a 32" or bigger (I'm going to use it for milling). Incidently this saw is quite a weapon. I had tighten pretty much every screw & bolt on it when I got it. The vibration through the handle is ridiculous! I don't...
