    Newbie Question...What does it mean when it is "ported?"

    Why do people buy tuners for diesel truck? Why do people swap camshafts cylinder heads? Any manufacturer has compromises, the aftermarket or chainsaw porters do not have to make those same choices

    Husqvarna rumor or fact.?

    None of those three models are available in europe, apparently they cannot meet new emission standards that went into effect this year. I am sure they will be available in areas with out strict emission standards for quit a while

    New 460 Rancher, 291 CBE, or used?

    Echo 590 would be better than the 201 and 460

    How the hell did I kill another Stihl?

    I believe that there is a 5% minimum in gas. They use ethanol as an oxygenate. It used to be lead but that was bad then they used mtbe but that caused cancer.

    Where To Buy Rental Saws

    I was told that most home depots have gone to 6100 for there rental saws. The 6100 is a good 60cc saw but you cannot turn it onto a 79cc 7910.

    Turns out my Wife was right

    Both saws are 72cc. 72/3=24. I will say that my dad runs a 28 on his 440 occasionally and it handles it fine.

    Anyone have experience with both, the Stihl MS261 and the MS291??

    False statement the 271 and 291 share the same chassis. The 311 and the 391 are a different slightly bigger chassis. One advantage to the 261 is the m-tronic you will never have to tune a carb again

    I am in the kalamazoo area, but i am not a good saw mechanic. If you have problems kalamazoo lawn and garden is a pretty good echo dealer.

    I thought stihl chain was expensive

    I believe that is the older Oregon sourced chain. This is the new x-cut chain produced by husqvarna. Still a ridiculous price.

    TSC "County Line" bar and chain?

    For me it was safety 3/8 semi chisel that came with my home Depot Makita 6421. The safety bumpers are huge and got in the for sharping

    TSC "County Line" bar and chain?

    I don't know about there bars, but their chains annoy me. I have had several chains where the safety strap or bumper is taller than the cutter. I take a grinder to them and fix it but still annoying.
