    New guy newish saw

    I love to tinker. Mostly on cars and tractors. I've never really dove in and worked on a saw before. I guess it's like anything gotta start somewhere! But as far as knowing where to begin on even buying an old or non running saw I don't know where to start.

    New guy newish saw

    Wow! Thanks for all the responses and advice! So basically I need a bigger saw (or 10) and to drop down on bar size and chain type. And get better at sharpening them! So possibly dumb question. If I got another bar for the 290 and then purchased a powerhead to wear the 20" bar could I run a...

    Stump grind pricing

    Thanks y'all I didn't think I was completely crazy. I couldn't have done it for 25 a piece even if he was MY friend, rentals aren't cheap around here. That was right around $3 an inch not including the roots. But hopefully it was just a fluke since I'm on the hunt for a machine to get the ball...

    Stump grind pricing

    I'm new to the site so I'd appreciate any direction y'all could give me. I've read probably every discussion on stump grinding on the site and I'm sure y'all are tired of it. I just needed to ask for myself since I haven't seen any that are more recent than a few years ago or in the south. I...
