I need to set up three chainsaws to cut 20" SDR11 poly pipe. For those that don't know, 20" is the O.D. and the wall thickness is about 2". I googled and got some info on how to do it, just wanted to get your opinions as well. We can't use bar oil. Most companies just don't run any oil...

Looking for a loader bucket for firewood, one that won't load all the junk too. (We have a stoned yard) This would be a 2-2.5 CY bucket for a wheel loader. I looked at the rock spline (skeleton) buckets, but they want 10k for one of those. That seems fine, but most of that money is in making...

Recently moved to western PA. Looking for a good saw shop, east side of Pittsburgh. The usual wants plus: stocks harvester chain, sharpen chipper knives, etc.

Does anyone self insure their business and just do a catastrophic add-on?

Anyone having issues with the new Tier IV engines? Specifically, we are having a problem with our Hitachi excavators. We are changing fuel filters often, sometimes as soon as 50 hours.

So, some of us weekenders where having a discussion about what the perfect log diameter is for processing into firewood. Obviously, if I still had my TW-7, the bigger-the better. But I now prefer 12" diameter, easy to handle and provides nice splits. Some of the guys like larger like 30"...

Always have wondered, just never took the time before to investigate. Anyone know what this is?

Nice that TSC switched to Jonsered, which means they are dumping anything labeled Husqvarna. Bought all they had... :msp_wink: Wish I could get this deal all the time.

Will Stihl Yard Boss attachments fit the Kombi? What I ultimately want, a dethatcher for my Kombi. (This is home use only) Stihl makes a dethatcher attachment for the the YB, but not the Kombi. The power sweep and the bristle brush look the same for both the YB and the Kombi, do these...

I scored a free Echo CS 3000. I can't find the champion plug replacement on a shelf anywhere. Does someone have the cross reference chart to give me the NGK #? I am having problems with both Champions and NGK's websites for some reason. Actually, if someone could confirm a CJ8y is the...

So, since I was sick-as-dog yesterday. Watched some crappy movies on the streaming Netflix. Watched a movie called 'Metal Tornado'. A J-red got a shout out for once. And it was a special one to, it magically flew out of the guys hands, turned around and cut through his hard hat. I...

Anyone having issues with the stock Pixel bar. Mine is 18", but not sure that is relevant. I seem to be getting chain lock often from wood being jammed underneath and in the sprocket tip. Typically, I may have this happen once a day...maybe but not even usually. But since I've got this saw...

My neighbor brings his craftsman saw over often (more often than I would like) for me to trouble shoot problems. This time, he had a problem with the chain (that problem was easy :msp_razz:). But I noticed that it didn't look like his saw was oiling. So I open the oil cap, and SURPRISE...

So, I heard a rumor at the shop the other day. I tried to search to see if it was mentioned here, but haven't found it. So stop me if there is already something. I found it interesting. The rumor: Echo is going to make 3 versions of the 600. Basically, a HO, LO and Pro version. The HO...

Cause someone had to do it... :laugh:

Over the years, I have owned various saws of various brands. However, I always seem to go back to Stihl. Mostly, it comes down to ergonomics. Performance differences (I run my saws stock) always seem to be negligible for me when comparing various brands in a 'pro' class. As an example, I...

Maybe I missed it, the holidays had me screwed up. But my dealer has a Husky top handle out on demo and it is an Autotune. The tree services that have had it so far like it better than the 200T. Anyone have an experience on it yet?

So, saw on the news this weekend, they were interviewing a pawn shop owner. He said he sold more chainsaws this week than he had all year! I would bet more people will get hurt trying to perform storm clean-up with their new-to-them saws than actually from the storm. Storm damaged trees are...
