    need some help with husky 350!!!

    hi guys! i traded for a husky 350 last summer and hadnt yet given it a proper testing so yesterday i took it out and used it to cut some of our seasoned logs for firewood. when i pull out of the cut and let it idle the saw runs fast enough to keep the chain moving about as fast as if it was...

    Where to sell logs (SW Missouri)

    i wouldnt sell to Timberland. only reason my boss hauled to them is that they were ALWAYS buying...our local mills would fill up and he had no choice. id bet you could find a local mill with better prices.

    Are Stihl saws as good as they were?

    one thing i dont see touched upon in these arguments much is the actual structural strength of the saws being considered. ive ran both stihls and huskys in hard-use logging environments and can say with absolute certainty that husky builds a much stronger saw!! ever compare AV mounts between...

    Saw dog question

    outside dogs are indispensible while cutting/felling big hardwoods. my 372's stock dogs sometimes werent enough on some oaks with big root swells so i bought some bigger ones from baileys. lost an inch of usable bar length but its worth it. they look great for the firewood cutter and whatnot but...

    recommend Bar and chain for cs680

    i have a 24 inch bar on my 680 and i have run full comp and semi-skip chains. i would strongly recommend semi-skip over the full comp. it really helps these echos keep their chain speed up on larger rounds. but im cuttin hardwood so you may find something that works better. either way they are a...

    skip or not

    something that might be of interest to yall is semi-skip. on the right setup it truly has the best of both worlds. i run it one my echo 680 and stihl 044 both with 24 inch bars. i cut hardwood. only catch is that you cant get it with a round grind, only square grind so u gotta learn to square...

    Help me buy this Buzz Saw Plase!!

    ya honestly the first thing that came to mind when i saw the size of the saw and that it was run by a small briggs is that its gonna be underpowered. the buzz rigs that my folks used were fast...really really fast. they were used to buck up oak poles about 8 to 10 feet long and as big around as...

    Help me buy this Buzz Saw Plase!!

    u mention a 6.5 briggs but its not in the pic. is there one on the saw? if so, whats the condition of it? my family used buzz rigs extensively years ago and if u have the manpower they can save a lot of time but we a lways powered them with atleast a 60 horse tractor through a pto shaft.
