    Which big saw for a 3 saw plan?

    I did some searching, but I guess I'm bad at it, so I am asking here. I am looking to add a big saw to my current fire wood cutting program. I have a newer 201-t (stock), and a 12 yr old ms 290 (muffler opened up). The 290 is a good running saw, and I keep very sharp chains. I have used it to...

    Which saw to get?

    I am looking to replace an ms-170 that could not stand up to my firewood routine. I don't cut every day, maybe not even for a month or two, but when I get wood, I might run a gallon of gas thru the saw. I have a big saw, but would rather cut with the lighter one as much as I can. I don't have...

    I have a simpson dura plus type HT triple wall setup that is a thru wall installation with a wall thimble. The wall thimble is near ground level (basement stove) and my wife has been blowing grass toward the house with the mower, and all over the chimney as well. I know grass has gotten into...

    Is this pear tree done for, and can the problem spread to other trees?

    A buddy told me that it has fire blight, and to cut it down and burn it. The first pic is of the pear from a distance, the second, close up of the damage with my apple tree in the background, and the third a close up of the apple. They bloomed real nice this spring, but the pear is looking bad...

    Need suggestions for small ornamental tree.

    I have an "island" in the middle of my driveway loop (limestone, no paving) that could use a nice tree. It is on a slope, and gets full sun. The grass area is approximately 12' in dia, inside the loop, and the tree needs to mature at about 10' to 15' max. It will be centered in the island...

    pinecones

    That's what my wife called them. This weekends work.:smile2:... Just splitting and stacking, I already had it bucked. Mostly red oak, with some white. First attempt at stacking this way, curious to see if it dries any quicker. I did it mainly for looks.:laugh:

    Oiling trouble with ms170

    I have a love/hate relationship with this little saw. It doesn't owe me anything, as it probably has 20 cords under its belt, but it has been somewhat less than reliable. I know, what do I want for $179.95 ? Ethanol was blamed for my carb problems. First time fixed under warranty, second...

    Need advice on how to fall scary leaner

    I believe it is an oak, approx. 24" DBH. Leans very hard in the direction I want to drop it, with a healed wound on the tension side, that looks like it could have been a buck rub when it was small, that goes about 6' up from the base, and leaks water. There is a gigantic defect that...

    Professional ? tree srvc.

    :rolleyes: If this is not appropriate for here, please move. I saw these guys this morning at work. I am a foreman on a road milling crew for a paving company. I first grabbed the camera when I heard a noise and saw the small husky saw on the grass, and the tree experts legs hanging over...

    Identify this tree please.

    Hey experts, what is it? And what would be a good reference book for the northeast, that has pictures, so I don't have to ask you guys like a dummy.:monkey:

    Muffler mod... Not impressed

    New to the forum, but will speak plainly in hopes of getting some honest feedback. After spending about a week of evenings browsing the forums, I decided to cut some holes in my 7 year old ms290. The saw has been good, and the only problem has been a cracked fuel hose, that I replaced...
