    Wood Pile Cover Material?

    What kind of lifespan do the billboard vinyls / tarps have if they're hemmed with eyelets? I'm looking for multi-year lifespans.

    Wood Pile Cover Material?

    I'm leaning towards getting a couple of these billboard tarps, cutting them into 2-3' wide strips, putting eyelets in them and using them.

    Wood Pile Cover Material?

    Edit: Moved this here from a different post, since this is exactly my question as well. I've got several cords (15+) of personal use firewood that I need to cover and store. I keep on fire racks like this one (obviously longer): I'm looking for cost effective, aesthetically pleasing methods...

    Echo CS-501P and CS-620PW

    I have the 501P and 620PW combo. I think it's a great combo. I use the 501 for most of my cuts, but when I have a bigger tree I really want to rip through, the 620 just eats. My 501 has a 20" bar, and is maybe a little bigger than I'd like for a limbing saw (my old WalMart Poulan Pro was my...

    Looking for a decent Chainsaw sharpener?

    I have these Pferd CS-X sharpeners in each of my chain pitches. I'm a recreational cutter, for my own firewood needs. Running an Echo 620PW and a CS501. Also have 4 old 028 Supers, and until recently my little Wal Mart Poulan that I LOVED as a limber saw. Never could sharpen worth a crap...

    Assistance finding replacement Ash door for this older Clayton wood furnace.

    I'm looking for a replacement ash door for a friend's furnace. I'm unfamiliar with the model, but based on the pictures of the back tag I think it's a Clayton 7.1v or 5.6v. Is anyone more familiar with this stove, and able to tell me which model it is (as far as finding a suitable replacement...

    Echo CS-490 DEAD after 11.5 months?

    I bought my C501p and CS620PW because they seemed to be well regarded saws, and Echo had a good reputation. I knew I'd be removing the carb plugs and doing a muffler mod as soon as they arrived, so warranty was a non-issue. They've been great saws the couple of years I've had them. You...

    How many saws are in your "plan"?

    I had a Walmart Poulan 4218 14" bar that I loved for limbing. Echo CS501p 20" for medium stuff, Echo 620PW 24" for the bigger cuts. I killed the Poulan, and need/want a limbing saw. Part of me loved the light weight of the Poulan, and wants to find another cheap one on FB or Clist or...

    Husqvarna 555 vs Echo CS 590

    I purchased a CS501p and CS620pw 2 years ago. Pulled the carb plugs and did muffler mods as soon as I received them. I'm very happy with both, but particularly impressed with the 620. That thing pulls like a tractor. Easy to start, runs great, extremely happy with it. I managed to blow up...

    028 av super rubuild

    I have 4 (or maybe 5) 028's in the garage, in various states of disrepair. Really, I think the worst of it is "needs carbs and replacement caps". I've been planning on getting another used Poulan to replace my 4218 (which I used as a limb saw, with a 14" bar). I could use an 028 for that, but...

    Huztl/Farmertec clone chainsaws are ****

    Wow. Just saw a guy selling a 660 clone on Craigslist for $600. Even states it's a clone. Makes me think I need to know what to look for before buying a used Stihl.

    Dht 4 way wedge

    I have a DHT 4-way for my 35T DHT splitter. I found it to be more trouble than it's worth, due to the variety of rounds I have. As mentioned, it needs adjusted between round sizes to get the same size split each time. After doing this (and eventually stopping usage) I saw a video with a...

    Storing saws.

    I was tired of carb kits or replacement carbs. Haven't had an issue since switching to ethanol-free, and draining/running dry after every use. I could probably get by without the drain/run dry, but my saws sit for a while, and I understand the oil in the fuel will degrade when stored mixed,

    Echo carb adjustment tool for 501 and 620?

    I've been trying to adjust the carbs on my saws, and I'm having a bear of a time adjusting them with small flathead screwdrivers. Once the saw starts revving up and vibrating, my flatheads are falling out of the slot. I've done a search for "echo carb tool", but I'm not finding one that looks...

    Echo CS-370 VS CS-400

    Curious...if I already have a 501p and a 620pw, what's the best candidate for the bottom end of the scale? 352, 370, or 400? I'm replacing a 4218 (42cc) Poulan, which was my previous "general liming/cutting/handy saw because it runs well and is light". The 370 and 400 both weigh 10.1 lbs...

    Recommended replacement saw for Poulan 42cc...

    My little Poulan 4218 (WalMart special) was recently damaged, and requires replacement. It was my smallest saw, with Echo CS-501P and CS-620PW big brothers. I really like the little Poulan, as it was small, light, and my go-to for limbing and general light duty stuff. The 501 got the call for...
