Probably thought it is worth that much because of the use of cedar for closets and chests. :confused:

I have one of those ryobi 4-tons sold at home depot. It works fine for what it's advertised to do. It does have a problem when logs have knots on them. As far as build and construction it seems to be very sturdy. Check youtube for some videos of electric splitters. BTW - I was using a 26...

dealer did it for me at time of purchase also.

I have one of these. 46cc 18" homelite. Have been using it for a few years and it runs well. And it does start fairly easily. Probably be better with a smaller bar though.

Who wouldn't want a chainsaw that stops when the trigger is let go?

Stihl cause that's all the store carried.

Used the saw this weekend and it started right up. :clap: Pulled on choke until it poped then flipped the switch up. Did two pulls and it started right up.

I see $550-$560 here.

Is there that much difference in the two types of chain that makes the non-kickbak chain more safe?

How can I be sure if the people a tree service brings into my property are insured by them? They, the company, have shown me their proof of insurance, but what should I look for to make sure their "crew" in covered and that the crew are not just some day workers or such they picked up at...

I use wood for heat. I'm also part of a "maintenance crew" that takes care of a 30+ acre tree filled property for a non-profit organization.

This wasn't started to bash elec saws. :) I use then regularly for that quick one or two cuts. They have their uses.

Just a couple of comments: 1. Why do people think these things are safer than gas powered saws? Are they seeing something that I'm not? 2. I was using a new homelite electric saw and noticed it had no chain brake. I though chain brakes were required on saws these days. Guess I was wrong.

I think the manual said 7 pulls on full. "pop" Is that when the engine almost starts?

Oh OK. I'm fairly new with chainsaws. My trimmer seems to start fairly easier and my lawnmower only needs 1 pull to start. These are my only experience with pull starts.

Thanks. Also, is it true that the bar should be flipped for an even wear?

I've read the manual and the dealer showed my how to start. He didn't actual start it but told me what to do. It's a MS290 1. Full choke - pull 3 times 2. Half choke - pull until it starts It always takes me awhile to get it started. Longer than I really want. Once started though it's...

What are good the good brands and what are the ones that should be avoided?

I see no problems with asking for cash, but when I was getting estimates it was always cheaper if I paid in cash. One guy even said flat out. I charge with sales tax if you pay with a check, but none if you pay cash.

Why will some guys negotiate a cheaper price if they're paid in cash? Do some do it so they don't have to pay any sales tax? No paper trail? Guess I can understand with credit cards if they (card co) charges a fee.
