If I was constantly dropping big trees or bucking them up I'd up the saw or if I was just doing a handful I'll grab a bigger saw but on these all day runs it's the 241 for me .

Forgot to share this one before. This tree was often used to hold small bore targets.
Speaking of big borers, there were some HUGE grubs in this round of wood. I'm talking the size of a man's pinky finger or larger. Much of what I cut was core rotted (story of my life for thinning these big dead aspen for the last 5 years) and the grubs really like to hang out in the transition wood where it goes from kinda punky to really punky.
We've had no shortage of extreme weather this summer. Here's a partially uprooted Aspen that will come down soon. Doesn't appear to have the crown tangled up so I might just get lucky and have it fall nicely.
(A different tree). This is what I characterize as a "geriatric" tree. Those growths guarantee I'll either have Swedish chimneys or be splitting out the punky center wood.

That is USD? Correct
So do Stihl dealers actually make no money on saw sales or does Stihl force them to only sell saws at or very near msrp?
We know they make a killing on parts.
yes Wowzer. BTW welcome to AS. this and the good morning checkin threads 2 of the best on AS. nice piles of wood you scrounged.
not sure if they have some wiggle room or not on saw prices. i get my chains at my dealer buy 2 get one free. iv'e asked other dealers about that and they tell me it's a promo they do sometimes. my dealer does it year round.
i think if i walked into my dealer cash in hand for a new saw i could get some money off MSRP.

I saw a guy on here state his dealer was giving him 5% off on a hedge trimmer but that's closest I've ever heard. I've had mine just through a 10% cut on motomix or other random stuff but that's it

Best I've seen was one dealer was 30 bucks below retail on a 461. I asked another dealer if he would match it and he got mad and somewhat rude with me because "they can't do that". I ended up getting a great deal on my 2186 later that week so didn't buy from either of them.
I've just been getting my chains on ebay as of late can get one for 18 on there. The damn husky dealer wants almost 40 bucks [emoji53]not sure if they have some wiggle room or not on saw prices. i get my chains at my dealer buy 2 get one free. iv'e asked other dealers about that and they tell me it's a promo they do sometimes. my dealer does it year round.

24" I know I can't stand this dealer in town I only go there if is absolutely required.
I think my last loop of 72LGX084 was 21 bucks including shipping.
