This thread just made me realize why I need to keep the Poulan Pro 260 that doesn't run. It looks to be in good shape and most would rather use it than a Ryobi. Wonder what their response will be when it won't start?
Ya tryin to sell something.thanks for sharing!
Ya tryin to sell something.
A (Good) freind has asked to borrow my chainsaw! MY MS 361 no less.I am going to offer to come cut a bit of the big stuff if I find some time. but thats about it. I am going to politley apologize! "Thats one tool I dont lend out"
Lets hear of all the Good lines you folks have thought up in the past!
i work at a stihl/Husky dealer and i bet at least once every month, every other month i see a saw come in that wont run with 0 compression or locked ut and after some prying it turns out it was borrowed by a "friend" who ran straight gas through it... I say they can borrow mine if i get an $800 deposit to replace it with a new one, or ill come cut for them.
I AGREE,MY SON WILL SAY CAN I BORROW ONE OF YOUR SAWS,I SAY CAN YOU AFFORD TO BY ME A NEW ONE,HE SAYS NO ,I SAY END OF DISCUSION , LOL I JUST FEEL NO ONE TAKES AS GOOD OF CARE OF YOUR STUFF AS YOU DO,THIS NOW STORM WE JUST HAD HAS TREES DOWN EVERYWHERE,I AM CUTTING FROM DAYLIGHT TO DARK, FIREWOOD FOR NEXT YEAR, :chainsawguy:The typical answer is no, but I'll be glad to help you out as long as it is on my schedule. Actually trimmed about 20 or so trees and brough down 10 or so more over New Years weekend for my next door neighbor, because I had free access to a 65' Boom Lift. He approached me wanting to pay me for the work, instead, I agreed to get everything out of the air for him, if he would help with my brush & firewood, which he gladly did. My brush was around 25 trees worth, plus the limbs off numerous other.
The only folks that can flat out borrow my saw or other motorized tools are my father, brother, and two uncles. They are all mechanically inclined, and have numberous such tools, which I can borrow anytime as well. Also, they are just as particular about the fuel that they feed their equipment as I am.
General rule of thumb, there are 3 things that you cannot borrow, my boat, my chainsaw (or other small engine stuff), or my wife. The above mentioned list is welcome to use everything but my wife.
hell no
