Well chalk up another leg saved by chaps today. One of my guys trimming a tree for fire wood got his left leg mid thigh. Chaps stopped the saw and worked great. I would estimate a savings of $40K. Not bad for a pair of $60 chaps. I have pics of the chaps I can text. Ray

Well got my 661 today. Ran a tank through it. I love it. Stronger than my built 660 and 066. That's the good news. Brought it home didn't think nothing about it. Was making dinner and my 4y/o son comes in and says "look at your new saw daddy". My 5y/o daughter put her stickers all over it. $1100...

Well I bought a 250stihl for $5. Figured I could not go wrong on that one. Traded it to the shop for a new chain. Later the same day (friday) I took a load of firewood to one of my customers and he said he had somthing for me. Low and behold it was a 066. But in sad shape. Needs a bunch of...

I am on the second motor. And now she is starting to slow down. I am thinking about installing a brigs motor on it. I am also thinking about maybe a new filter and oil could be what it needs. It has been a while. (around 200 cords) The motor is not running the best. The motor will paulse around...

Bucking some large cotton wood trees today and tossed a chain on the 32" bar. It cought my chaps and have a nice bruise on my knee. But now the question: Do I need to replace my chaps now that they have a small cut to the kevlar? The kevlar does not apear to be cut. I tucked it back in to the...

I am getting fire wood orders out the yazoo. I can hardly keep up. How are the rest of you doing on sales? Ray

Well I was given a 4 way wedge for my spliter. It was not an exact fit to the wedge on the troy built 27ton spliter that I have. But I figured I would give it a try. All was good at first no problem. Then along came a knot that I didn't see. Broke the back strap off of it. Whoops. No big deal...

I have 2 036 stihl saws. One says made in USA. The other says Made in West Germany. I was told that they were not made there back then. Can some one set me streight on this? Thanks Ray

I went to the VA today for a fallow up on my right wrist. While I was waiting I was talking to another former Marine. While shooting the breeze we both cut fire wood. He then stated to me that he got the wrong chains from Stihl this morning and asked me if I wanted them. I said sure. Didn't even...

Always wondered what others ran. I cut 99% hard wood and run woodland pro skip tooth 3/8 .050 on all but my 32" bar. It is oregon 3/8 .063. So what are you running? Ray

It is a little late this spring for some of you but you might want to give this a try. I had a farmer ask me to clean up some fields this week. He is getting ready to get in to the fields and their are 2 hickory trees that went down in them. He said I can have all I want. I asked him about...

Or should I say had cancer. Well I fixed the axel on the trailer. New 3500# axel. But I put on an old tire I had laying around that fit the axel. Well the pics don't tell the story. We got to the job today around 1pm. I told my cutting partner to pick up the pieces on the other side of the...

How do you get rid of them? I have a nice mess of them. Ray

I was noodleing some hackberry for my dad with the 066. Had a new skip tooth chain on. Needless to say it would clog up easy. So I would shut her down and unplug it. Well I am here to tell you all that clutch is f'n hot. I just grazed it and now my trigger finger is blistered. Ray
