    Gas/oil ratio

    Thanks, L J - The saw is about 10 yrs old. The decal says only "034" so I don't think it's a super, etc. The previous owner used both 40:1 AND 50:1 in it, depending on which gas can was closer. I just wanna run the right stuff in it from now on. TIA

    What's the skinny on a Stihl 034?

    Thanks, Guys - I think if the saw runs good and smooth, cuts good, I'm not gonna go wrong for $150. Anyone know how big the engine is, how much HP, what's it weigh, max RPM, best size bar / type of chain to run?

    What's the skinny on a Stihl 034?

    Hi, All - I've got a chance to pick up an 034, about 10 yrs. old, runs good, cuts good (so he says - I haven't seen it yet), new bar and chain. I can't find any specs for it on the net. Can anyone give me the specs and reputation of this saw? TIA. Lance

    Thanks, Jeff, for the gypo explanation. There's gotta be a bunch of gypos here in Vermont - most of the jobs are on small chunks of land, smaller scale than out west.What's the difference 'tween RM2 and plain RM? Fireaxman - As I said, I've been pleasantly surprised at how well the RM2 is...

    Thanks, guys, for the advice and suggestions. I'm already running an RM2 chain on my 260 and have been amazed at how well it holds its edge. I think I'll invest in a timberjackto minimize dirty cutting as much as possible. Again, thanks. BTW: What's a gypo? Lance

    John - Your video downloaded completely in about 30 seconds (I've got a broadband cable connection). The real player opened but there was nothing in it to play. Any ideas why not? Lance

    Thanks, John, for the suggestions. I got your attachment but there was nothing in it to view. Dunno if the problem's on my end or yours - maybe if you resend it?? Lance

    Muddy logs

    Anybody got any advice as to how best buck up logs that have been skidded out and are covered with mud and stuff? I cringe every time I hafta buck up something that's dirty - seems like I can almost watch the chain getting duller with each cut. Any advice greatly appreciated.
