Last Tuesday night, a man in the North East Portland, OR Russell neighborhood was crushed by a 1200# stump that he was removing from his backyard. He was working alone, and the cause is listed as a Safety Equipment Malfunction, the details are rather sparse, but it appears that he was hand...

On the night/morning of February 3-4, some unmentionable miscreant broke into a customer of mine, the CarQuest auto parts store in Duvall, WA, which is an authorized Stihl Dealer, and stole a Stihl 661RZ. When stolen, the saw had a 36”, 3/8 .050 B&C mounted, the serial number is 192599200 It...

I’m on temporary duty in Reno for a couple weeks, and have the weekend off, so the Wife and I did a little sightseeing in the Desert We didn’t get too extreme, it is my daily driver, and I haven’t gotten any Lift on it yet, so there isn’t much clearance for wild stuff with the 35’s on it I...

I recently bought a 12' step Ladder from a contractor, who isn't working right now, Naturally I kidded him, it's too bad you aren't selling any chainsaws. He replied that he already he already sold 2 Huskies :cry::mad:, and a Stihl :rolleyes::baba:, I missed that FB Marketplace ad, but he said...

I’m ordering a reel of .404 chain, I am trying to figure out how many loops I can get out of it. I will be making loops for my 36”, 44”, 60” and 72” bars. Anyone know how many DL’s per Foot for .404? I’m working out of town and can’t measure one of my current chains. I’m planning on having...

I don't have a lot of experience milling yet, and haven't seen this topic discussed yet, Are Full Wrap Bars an Asset or a Hinderance ? I recently bought a New 395XP, mainly for use in lighter milling, when the 3120XP isn't really needed, but it will also likely see firewood and other uses as...

I have read many of you guys posting about Fiskars Axes, Looking at Lowe's both in store and their website, it seems that Fiskars may be producing some axes that are exclusive to Lowe's, or Lowe's is measuring them differently than Fiskars. Lowe's shows a 31.5" Splitting Axe, and a 10"...

I am familiar with the Husky 346XP, and their reputation, but I don't know anything about the 345, how does it compare to the 346XP? What do you guys know about the 345?, Mag case? a Dog, or another of Husky's better kept secrets like the 353? There is a 345 for sale, near one of my deliveries...

Did a quick search and I didn't find this addressed, I was just on Husqvarna's website, and the 3120XP is missing from the current line up, does anyone Know if the 3120XP has been discontinued? Any word on a replacement? right now on the Husky website, it shows the 395XP as the Biggest Husky...

Okay, I have had CAD for awhile now, but my CAD has also morphed into a case of CSMAD, so now I have a Full Blown case of BOTH Afflictions :surprised3:. It started out when my Trusty 266XP "Old Reliable" was finally found wanting cutting Big Wood, at over 6,000 elevation, I was considering...

Anyone have any advice on the 550XP or the 353 Huskys? A 50CC saw would be a welcome addition to my CAD. A seller on CL (Jokes start NOW;)) has a VERY clean looking 353 for sale, asking $300/FIRM. The seller is a regular, I suspect a retired saw mechanic, he advertises service for Stihl and...

Hi, I've been a lurker here for awhile, and have enjoyed the forum, I recently bought a new Husqvarna 3120XP, and it is very hard to start. I followed the instructions in the owners manual (pretty basic), and I just about kill myself pulling on this thing, it has taken 40-50 pulls to start this...
