They got sold and more interested in profit vs quality. They let you know they are real, Heavy Loud and no Anti vibe. Lol The old ones are a Real lot of things

I'd say Homelite went in a different direction since the glory days. My grandpa had a Super EZ and also one of the C-5's that I had for a while. Lots of vibration and loud as heck but well built stuff.

Beauties!!!

That's cool! Do you throw some feed out for them in the winter?




I put out cracked corn for the mourning doves. Think I have created a monster. Need a part time job in order to feed 'em. Thank god the bears haven't found out yet.

No photoshop there. Those are my current work saws. LOL. I have used it to buck 1 piece of 20" cherry. Not too thrilled about sharpening 166 drivers. I need to go through and grind off every other cutter and make it a skip chain. 60" full comp pulls pretty hard.
I do have a monster oak I want to buck up sometime. About 64" diameter, It's gona take forever to split it.

Yeah , they are gettin' way to friendly Dan. Especially since they are almost standing in mother's kitchen garden.

Instead of surf & turf, Clint is going to invite us over for Fur&Feathers!!!! Clint, they make them explosive charges so that U just cover them all with a net!

Hey, I should have had a second one today, but instead of going "bang" the MZ went "Footthhhh", and a lot of fire & smoke about 50 yds out. Can't figure if I forgot to stuff a bullet in, or if it dislodged. The deer actually semi circled around to try and figure what happened. I just stayed still in my tree stand, and they did not pick me up. Tomorrow is the last day of MZ season, I hope they come back!

At least I got to see them, so not a boring afternoon!

Nice collection, Red.

 

[SteveSS]

There's a Super XL on my local CL right now that looks to be in decent shape, for $125. I think you're too far away to add it to the collection though.

Thanks for the heads up, but I Have 5 sxl runners currently. Good saws but they don't hold a candle to the Super xl 925.

I would hate having to hand sharpen that thing. It has the power to pull that chain?

The big saw in the group shot. will 100cc of reed valve torque. pushing over 190psi if the clutch cover wasn't in the way on the lil saw it would spin the chain. LOL
