Hi fellas, awesome forum! Love lurking here at night for the info, chuckles and personality. I totally get it. Addicted to collecting and burning firewood in my fireplace. I've got CAD already, too. Bought an 041 with a 45 day warranty, and just got a 200t for $150 at a pawn shop.
Pics of the 200t
Knew I was getting a deal but didn't realize how good a deal till it was home. Planned on reselling when I seen the resale, but changed my mind quick. Was cutting through some jungle of old broken over hedge trees yesterday and this saw was amazing. CAD
Got my 041 from a local Stihl dealer for $250 with a 45 day warranty. 20" bar and chain. Cuts so nice and love the torque. But this saw keeps having problems. Runs great for a cord or so, then starts cutting out up top. Took it back for the third time today, same exact problem. Kill switch doesn't work too well either. Love the saw so I didn't raise a fuss today when I took it back to get checked out. Still got 20 some days left on warranty. What would you guys do?
Firewood pile is getting big. Got about a chord and half of dry hedge, chord of dry maple, some green maple, chord of green elm, half chord of green locust so far. Gonna get more dry hedge once the saw is back up and running. Hoping tomorrow. I love being in the woods and getting my mind off everything. Girlfriend is a little fussy about the saws and time spent getting firewood. And the talk of a log splitter.
Need splitter bad
Hope you guys like the pics, let me know what you think. Any guesses how long till I buy another saw? MS 390 on CL looks so perty. Also i got a question on getting up in a tree a little ways with a rope and how to do that. Will post in the climbing section.
