New Guy With Chainsaw Addiction

[Freudianfloyd]

Just introducing myself, I've been lurking for months but just signed up.

I dont know if introductions are common on this site or not, but I'm new to the chainsaw world but can't stop buying them.

My first saw was a long-running Mac 3615 and then my wife got me a Husqvarna 450 even though we didnt have any trees, and I've been hooked since.

Since then my wife, 11 kids, and I have moved into a farm with lots of trees that I am constantly cutting up. Mostly dead ash.

Anyway, I look forward to learning from this site, I'm far from an arborist, just a hobbyist/farmer but love chainsaws.

It's amazing how many long-running saws you are given or you find for hardly anything that dont take much effort to get running.

I just bought 5 yesterday at a yardsale for $12 total.

Welcome to the site brother. I too am addicted to chainsaws. Just can't seem to get enough. I love all of them particularly DOLMAR/MAKITA. Amd nice grab on those saws. But I will say this site is usless without picturs. Would love to see what you got for 5$ this is my best beauty below.

I have been trying to figure out how to post pictures. Can you upload pictures through this site or do you need a hosting site? I used to have Photobucket but dropped them recently and haven't found a replacement yet.

Taptalk

I use taptalk on my phone works well. Make a profile set up under this site and just post away. When you post it gives you the option to select a photo

You can just attach photos straight from your computer or phone.
You’re lucky to only have a chainsaw buying problem. Unfortunately, I am afflicted with a chainsaw and motorcycle buying disease. So far, I have not found a cure.
Today’s purchase was a nice original Echo CS-280E pictured above. I like any older saws but Echos and Sachs Dolmars are my main targets.

If you really want a problem, buy an AR and a diesel pickup. And have a serious problem with anything stock....

Not having any kids on my end helps though, lol.

Oh, chainsaws are just my latest addiction. Guns are first, and tools are second.

My father-in-law says my garage is revolving hobby garage.

Let me see if this works....

It's an older picture and I need to make another.

These are the 5 saws I get yesterday. I got the Poulan and Jonsered running last night. I haven't messed with the Echos yet.

That's a cool saw. I have yet to mess with any Dolmar saws. I prefer Husky's but they never seem to go for sale in my area. Stihls seem to be more popular around here.
