Thanks! Yep, a GL acquisition. Depending on your location/luck, you can get one for as little as $250. The thing needed nothing - full tread tires, fresh grease oozing from the bearings, fully functional everything, etc. W/ the surge brakes, it tows like its not even there. I highly...

M101a2 Mil Trailer. Just got her in tip top for bout $500 via auction. This sucker can extract the wood from wherever my 4x4 can git, and keep on towing on down the hwy at speed w/ no worries. Surge brakes, parking brakes, f/r adjustable "landing gear", lunette/pintle hitch, mil spec...

M101a2 Mil Trailer I got for around $500 via auction. Works great!:rock: Its uber tough, has functioning surge brakes, parking brakes, front and rear adjustable "landing gear", mil-spec off-road tires and a pintle hitch/lunette set-up that is perfect for the crazy tow angles achieved when...

Been using an iltis oxhead maul for a while. Amazing tool. Holds a sharp edge forever. Over-strike protection works like a charm, while the wooden handle absorbs shock way better than glass. The weight is perfect for the big/tough stuff. You can power through just about anything w/ it, but...

Nice pic. I like the black dogs. Is that paint, powder or anodized?

Schweet!

If the HD store has a Rental Dept., you can buy the Makita 6421 new through that dept. via special order. We got ours a few months ago that way . . . for only $472 (but I think that price ends 7/1/11).

Yeah, normal if run at WOT while not in wood for any amount of time. Think of the heat and friction on the bar and the "wiping" affect of the kerf and the absorption via the wood chips/dust. Absorbs all that bar oil . . . Did you lean the saw out a bit via your tune? Did you do it w/ a...

I think 3 wks is the worst worse case scenario (bad gas, no stabilizer, bad climate and exposed storage site). Good quality gas, w/ a decent stabilizer (either in the oil or added), stored in a good airtight can in a cool area should be good for much longer than 3 wks. I'd say 3 months.

My 6421 was tuned quite rich out of the box, and after about 7 tanks is now just about right (very slightly on the rich side).

No worries. :) I am prolly too wrapped-up in this thread, anyway - I just hate to see folks miss out on a great deal on a great saw.

Nice.:D

Baileys?

Bait-and-switch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If HD did not know that the 6401 is NLA, they would be in a slightly better position. However, since they do in fact know that the product is NLA, it is illegal for them to advertise it at a guaranteed price, take your money/order for the product, let you wait a week for it, and then tell you...

Actually, the fine print says "price guaranteed through 7/1/11". This is a pretty simple case of false advertising. I just left HD, and the 6401 is still in the catalog @ $472, guaranteed through 7/11. On top of that, once you pay your dough you have a binding contract for the saw at the...

Amazing.

That's too bad. Great deal on the used one, though. Sounds like Makita is hip to what's going on. I wonder if HD Makita sales have "spiked" recently . . . and I wonder if Makita or some of their other vendors have seen this or similar threads? LOL! But ultimately, its HD's obligation...

Whoa. I would make A LOT of noise about that, especially if it is printed in their catalog. That's a classic "bait & switch" routine and illegal. "Well, we cant sell you X at Y price like we advertise, but we can sell you Z at Y + $100." :hmm3grin2orange: Homie don't play dat . . ...

This. Nothing else in the $500 range even comes close. Will handle a 24" bar, as is. And much more bar w/ a BB upgrade. Super saw.
