I am considering asking the same things of a tree service. A few have to drive right past my house to drop off logs at the local (pay-tip fee) compost place. Thought about posting a sign on my fence asking to drop their hardwood logs in my driveway - free. I suspect a fellow about a mile...

I too came from ********** and had the same wife reaction as my budget kept increasing (tanks to this site!)

Like Precaud mentioned, lots of people are doing just that. The seller I listed seems to have listed the saw @ the price he paid for it, and hoped it would get bid on. It worked. Especially if he has no need or attachemnt to the item. I did something similar with a musical keyboard I...

I bit the bullet and bought a Dolmar 5100s last week. I was able to use is Sunday and last night, and thought I would post my observations of it, as viewed from a person new to chainsaws. My prior experience has been with cheap saws, a Poulon Pro 16" and a Craftsman something or other...

MSRP $800? HD sells that saw new for $569.00 (or something close). Another seller listed a used 6401 for $205, and it sold for $325. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=130099341534&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=003

Liners? Like diesels Why can't/won't they make liners for chainsaws/high output 2 strokes? Maybe in the professional lines only. Or is replacing a jug just as easy as a new liner would be? Heat transfer issues? Ports in cylinder walls being a limiting factor?

After I had a splitting wedge fly off a log and cut me in the leg about 4mm before I even knew what happened, I won't split wood when my 2 year old is anywhere in the backyard. Crap like that happens SO fast. It happened partially because I lost all fear of my wedges/maul/sledge and the...

Call it a "prosumer" saw? Sound like it fits the definition of "prosumer".

And the hat ain't bad either! Nice family you have there. Like the CAT hat. Have 5 myself. Doesn't hurt that I work for a CAT dealer.

eSnipe I have used eSnipe with good sucess. It works fine. I have lost bids, but that is because my max was lower than the proxy price. Sniping allows me to set my personal max price I want to spend, then walk away from the auction until it's over. If I don't get it, well, too bad for...

Rent a vacuum pump? Autozone rents vacuum pumps for free. That is a real poor man's way!

Hello, No sooner do I decide to buy a Dolmar 5100s, the only other Dolmar dealer I visit introduces me to the Shindaiwa 488. He offers the 20" bar and stock chain for $380+tax. I was all set on the 5100s @ $380 + tax at another dealer I talked yesterday (18" bar with full chisel Carlton...

I just recieved a Harbor Freight 8 lb maul, and happy with it. I used a 8 lb maul from Lowes (borrowed), and I think I like this one better. Edge was level and sharp enough. The handle is different in that it flares out at the top, so the head cannot slip off the end. I imagine a new handle...
