Don't do a great job, but I'm kinda anal about keeping my bench tidy. It's a couple days old, but if you put stuff away, you have room for the surprise project, and can (usually) find the stuff you put away where it belongs. Ignore the stuff on the left, bike parts that don't follow the rules...

Not chainsaw related, but I've got pieces from a Ducati st3 valve adjustment on top of the bench. There is a junky Stihl that I can't get oiling irritating me on the lower shelf..

People do that?! Most be the same people who slam an auto transmission into park while moving. Heck, I'm the guy who selects park, sets the parking brake, then let's off the power brake

I've turned a few people onto pre-mixed fuel for their occasional use yard implements. One when I loaned him my auger, and a can of TruFuel, telling him just to use it, not whatever old garbage he had laying around. The people are mostly sold due to it lasting longer, and having less of a...

Homeowner here with a 562xp to clear out trees on a few (6) acres. I have long used both pump and pre-mix fuel (True Fuel on Amazon was the cheapest I could find) based on how much I expect to burn. Occasional saw use? Just put in some pre-mix. Recently I've been using my auger, trimmer, and...

As long as the King's men have their exemption, that's what is really important.

Not a very exciting opinion, but when oil questions came up (regularly) on a motorcycle forum, or in real life, I just say to Read The Fine Manual for the specs and find something that fits it. Unless you are a fleet operator of whatever equipment, you aren't going to gather enough info to make...

I've also heard people talk about inches per second, or something along those lines. Quick Google conversion says 80 mph = 1408 inches/second. (80 mph approximated from the madsens1.com example)

Have to say, I could only think of the Monty Python lumberjack song... Slightly different theme.

My parents were never really hands on folks, so I've learned a lot of practical skills on the fly as I go. And as a full blown nerd, I love the XKCD webcomic. My favorite one has to do with learning something new. As in, there are a whole lot of people learning something for the first time...

I don't think my 562xp has seen temperatures under 50 F, and I know for a fact the guy holding the saw is the limit now that it's been regularly 100+!! :eek: One tank, and I've got more than enough wood to toss on the burn piles by hand. With a few water breaks sprinkled in for health and...

I have a question on a saw (same one I bought parts from you for, actually) and I'm waiting until I get enough time to take good pictures, because I know that this response (very understandably) will be one of the first few posts, most likely from you! :)

Coming from a homeowner who is just cleaning up a messy yard, and only occasionally has used a wedge... I don't even take my phone out with me, since it's way too easy to get a woodchip in the USB port. Hell, I take a nice cheap 2-way radio in case I need to reach my wife. Otherwise it just...

Seeing as I have two of those guides and gave up trying to see how they work (I'm sure it's user error), I don't suppose you'd be able to describe it? I am happy-ish with my hand filing, especially as I have to manually drag everything out of the way to a burn pile when I'm done, so it's not...

Thanks! Looks like nothing is easily locatable online but you've given me something to call my dealer about. In the mean time, I ordered the PlasticWeld to try first. Replacing that bit looks like a decent project. Though it wouldn't hurt to order and have it on hand for replacing some time...

[Edited to add pictures correctly, it's been a while since I have hard-linked photos] That's the part, do you have a common name or part number? Or does the building up with plastic epoxy stand a decent chance? Here are pictures from mine: And in case it isn't painfully obvious: Thanks!

First time posting to the site, because as a homeowner using the saw for the last 5 years, I really haven't had any issues that haven't been common, and discoverable by searching. My use isn't terribly heavy, cut a few cords a year for 4 years to heat my house, and clean up my heavily treed (by...
