    84 dl stihl-compatible bar

    Where is everyone's favorite place to buy after-market bars to fit Stihl saws? This one is to replace a worn out 24/25-inch Stihl bar. I really don't need to have an expensive bar, as I don't use it all that hard anymore.

    MS 250 has an issue

    I started my ms 250 yesterday for a quick cut. It started great, then bogged and then ran well enough to do the cut. I sat it down and it started revving. Looks to me like an air leak has popped up. It is an older saw and has been worked on once already. I think that I may attempt to sort...

    Sprocket question-362

    Is there any legit reason that someone would put a .325/9 pin sprocket on a 362? I bought one from a buddy and that is what was on it. He did not put it on there, but the guy he got it from did and was supposedly a dealer. It is now back to 3/8-7, with a new 20-inch Stihl bar on it. Great...

    Makita 3700P

    Just curious as to opinions on this saw. Quite some time back, I had mentioned how poorly they perform on the fire line. My kid runs one and they absolutely hate them. No power, chain brake that breaks easily, wimpy plastic. He sure wishes that the company would go back to Husqvarna, or...

    Chainsaws and fire fighters

    I just had a conversation with my fire fighter kid this evening. He has been fighting fires non-stop for the last several days. We had an interesting chainsaw conversation. Here is the crux of what we talked about. Fire fighter crews, both private, federal and state, pretty much go by...

    Makita saws

    My kid just informed me that the fire crew that he works for in Idaho, purchased all new saws this season. They now have the Makita EA7900PRZ2. I really don't know much about these, but cannot find any bad reviews on them. Anybody here up to snuff on these saws? I understand that they are...

    Falling big trees

    A friend of mine has a cottonwood tree that needs to come down. That thing is huge! It is conservatively seven feet across at the bottom. He wanted my opinion on it and I told him to call a tree service, as there is a relatively short window in which it needs to fall. I told him that once it...

    New to me wood hauler

    I just got this 2012, 3038 to help with firewood and other duties around here. Could not pass it up. I bought from a John Deer mechanic that bought it from the original owner. The guy only had 215 hours on it and managed to lose all of the coolant out of the engine and smoked it. The...

    Splitter score

    I went to an auction yesterday and bought a like new, 37-ton, North Star splitter with log lift. The current price from Northern on the splitter, is $4400, plus shipping. I paid $2500 for it. I was hoping that I would not have to spend that much on it, but there was one other person that...

    441 and 32-inch bar question

    I have a 32-inch bar that I run on rare occasion on my MS441. The chain that I got with the bar is full skip and it works well. I also have a standard chain that I have never used. Does anyone run a standard chain with that combo and have satisfactory results? If not, would it be advised to...

    3120xp

    A friend of mine ended up with a 3120xp that apparently is toast, based on the compression test. Someone also messed with the carb, so I think that it is going to need to be re-done. How much money (ball park) would he be looking at to have the saw re-done? He is trying to figure out...

    Bar oil

    For those of you that are close to a Menard's store, you might check it out. Here, the bar and chain oil is on sale for $5 a gallon. That is the best price that I have seen in a long time.

    Husqvarna 257

    I have a Husqvarna 257 that I am considering selling. It is a great saw and has given me no problems. I just don't need it anymore, as I have more saws than I need. The saw runs great, has great compression and has a muffler mod. It sports a 20-inch bar and I think that I have two new chains...
