[samg123]

Hi y'all I'm Sam I'm from Lancaster pa I figured after stalking this amazing site for a year that I should introduce myself I cut firewood for some winter cash and do a lot of giving it away to people in rough positions but hey pass it forward right ? Anyway I'm 20 years old I work 2 jobs and do this on the side I got a little ms250 stihl it's no 660 magnum but I keep the chain sharp and outa the dirt and she works great for me I use a 99 f150 short bed to haul small loads and my dad has a f350 powerstroke flat bed for the bigger loads and I also use a Honda rancher 350 freaking work horse that thing just won't break haha I'm gonna try and post some pictures as I go if I can figure out how lol anyway any comments,complaints,suggestions would be awesome fellas

Welcome aboard. Way to go helping the needy.

 

[zogger]

Howdy! Suggestions..not much, just go to a two saw plan, bump up to around a 70cc model. Sell around three cords, should pay for a decent used one.

 

[mainewoods]

Welcome aboard, but be careful what you wish for. Suggestions and comments may cause you to take on a third job. And that's just for the new chainsaws you are about to purchase.

Any one have a recommendation on a good 70+- cc saw ? And does anyone have expierence with echo saws?... I've used there leaf blowers,weed wackers. But never there saws. And I'm not to concerned about the price of the 70cc saw. I like buying quility the first time. So I'm all for spending top dollar

 

[Saddle Mander]

Lancaster, huh? Any truth to the rumor that the Waffle House at the intersection down the road from Sight and Sound isn't there any more because a truck drove through it?

 

[samg123]

Echo makes good gear. Tell ya, for the loot, guys have been talking up the $400 echo cs590 timberwolf. They make a more expensive version of that saw, the cs620p, with upgraded components and I think more advanced cylinder porting. It's a 60cc model but with a muffler mod and trim the limiter tabs on the carb and richen it up some on the H screw, they apparently run quite well. I ran a slightly different one, same engine though, strong. No lack of power, but it *really* needs those two mods so it isn't running too lean. several threrads on the timberwold on the main chainsaw forum, plus you can find vids on youtube.

You can also lurk on the trading post here, some 70cc stihls up now I see, might be more.

I cut everything I need with an MS 260 Pro. If the 20" bar won't work all the way around it, I'll leave it for somebody with a bigger saw and a stronger back.
Bigger is only better if you actually need bigger.
Buy a pro-grade saw in whatever cubes (speed and/or bar length) you need for the wood you're expecting to cut. Most any professional quality 50cc will run rings around the biggest homeowner/rancher saw out there, and with a lot less weight and vibration. JMHO.

And welcome to the site!!

Welcome to AS. Good to hear you helping others. I always say"what comes around goes around".

 

[mainewoods]

What "comes around" here is known as CAD, and you may have already been infected. The good news is there are plenty of guys here to help, and they love spending other people's money.

Its easiest to post from "anything" with a "photoshop" account that you uploaded your photo to. Basically a picture hosting site and then you. POst the link to AS from the hosting site. Adds a step but secures the photos and makes posting easier anywhere.
