    DOLMAR 7900 - is it a piece of JUNK?

    I can't speak for the 7900 as i've heard many great things about them but I also posted many threads over the 5100's that were outlasted by homeowner stihls. Chances are the advice on flooding is true but I say this with respect if thats the case maybe you should rethink owning a saw that...

    Saws that surprise the hell out of you.

    Because it's about as overated as it gets!

    Stihl ms362c

    Forgot to mention that when my 372 died I replaced it with the 362 and can tell you running it from a horizontal position all day that it performs very similiar with plenty of grunt and is way more balanced. I am in no way implying that if I was to throw a 24" bar on the stihl that it has the...

    Stihl ms362c

    I don't give a fat dogs azz what the specs say the 362 is no heavier than the 361 and has way more torque than the 361. I had a 361 for about a week and was never so disapointed from an overhyped performance standpoint. Go 362, will cut a truckload before it needs refueled and performs with a...

    Stihl shop vac and spider bite

    I wanted to ask the same thing but it took a few minutes to fathom it. Probably cause it really didn't hurt much just felt like a pin prick when I was working out in the shop. I never even seen the little bastard either to verify thats what it was.

    Stihl shop vac and spider bite

    Holy BLEEP BLEEP. The tissue is turning dark in color but it's cause it's healing more than anything. I did do a baking soda water paste followed by peroxide and lantzed it myself with my pocket knife and squeezed the piss out of it. My grandfather logged on the OH, WV line for yrs and he was...

    Stihl shop vac and spider bite

    Thats what the DR had said as well. He examined the bite marks and was leaning towards a recluse but didn't wanna scare me and is also why he wanted to admit me. I'll tell ya one thing you don't wanna do is research it on the internet cause you'll be out picking out your coffin. All in all today...

    Stihl shop vac and spider bite

    Killing 2 birds with one post. Somebody tell me the stihl shop vac is awesome? My grandfather is and always has been a stihl guy and made a good living using their products, I got him the smaller version for xmas. Money isn't an issue for a guy thats given and taught me so much I just wanna make...

    ms271 vs ms261

    Much better than the original homeowners and the 211 smokes the 210 and the 271 does the same to the 270. Those are the only ones I have any run time on outside of the 391 which was decent but not for the $. Personally the only non pro saws I use are the smaller ones for ground use simply...

    ms271 vs ms261

    If your not using it everyday or cutting firewood for profit save your money. I've used pro saws for pro use and gotten more than you should out of homeowner models under professional use as well. As far as rebuilding the saw unless you straight gas it or it's just plain old worn out at which...

    Attention new saw buyers, big difference noted today!

    Could very well be I had 2 ms250's purchsed at the same time set up by the same shop used pretty much equally on the ground and 1 needed thrown from 40 ft in the air while the other was a flat out cutter. I tached them both and the hot saw was turning over 15k while still 4 stroking and is still...

    Attention new saw buyers, big difference noted today!

    I know you cut a ton just like we do and every since it's intro whether it's been ultra or amsoil every new saw I get gets the dealer mix whatever he uses and my own put in. If Dino makes your saw break in better nobody ever told that to mine and if thousands of hrs per unit isn't enough than...

    Firewood too long...

    Let me clarify that 20" is not the standard but 16-20" is the norm not custom order, at least around here. I agree that anything over 20 wont fit in most newer woodburners though.

    Firewood too long...

    I respectfully disagree. We to have sold thousands of cords and if I took 99% of our customers wood cut to 15" I would get a piece thrown through the truck window. That being said is exactly why we no longer sell firewood, most customers think a cord should be delivered in a semeye and 9 out of...

    brand new Stihl oil flippy cap problems.

    I dont mind them but I can't stand the cable/rope fasteners that are SUPPOSED to hold them in the tank yet every saw I own has lost the caps due to them dang things failing!

    Am I buying in between saws?

    Excellent saws. Put a 20" on the 365 and a 28" on the 385 and there's not much you can't cut. I knew a tree worker who ran a 365 for quite awhile with a 36" and always got the job done. Not the weapon of choice obviously but worked none the less, just made sure he carried a qt of bar oil to...

    Chainsaw photography

    My wife has been in photography for yrs, her dad was in the biz on the side and she is pretty darn good at it and saves us a ton on family pics. She uses a nikon d80 and has probably 10k in lenses. I on the other hand can do all I want with my smartphone for around 100 bucks. I really am in awe...
