I'm not laughing. I bought a little Stihl MSA 120 c and it quickly became the house favorite out of five. I never thought I'd see my wife with a chainsaw in her hands, but she's not afraid of it. She was even scared of the little Stihl 190T. I think it's the engine noise...

I already bought the 372. My strategy now is to drag my feet... :)

LOL! I have three Stihls and an Echo pole saw. I sorta promised my wife to get rid of one to buy my 372xp. (She has me on a "buy new tool - get rid of one" - she doesn't understand.) I think she's figured out the Stihls aren't going to go... :)

This has come up in connection with other stumps. It you decide to cut and treat, treat immediately. The stump seals itself off very quickly...

Or - it might be cheaper to lose weight... :D

That tree may well not survive...

We live about two blocks from the park. The Roundup brush killer will work. Roundup week killer won't. If you're familiar with Monte Sano, the bunkhouse for the old dummy line crews lies just off my property. My privet problem comes from a hedge they planted back in the 19th century...

That will do it, if you keep spraying. I have three wooded acres on top Monte Sano in Huntsville. At one point, probably one acre of it was in privet. At a certain point, nothing survives but the privet. A lot of them were closer to being trees. Cutting and treating was the only practical option...

I used to cut it also but found that, diluted, it wouldn't keep privet down. I finally just started using the concentrate right out of the container. That worked...

Roundup weed killer won't work. Roundup brush killer - used as a concentrate - works fine...

We had both in north Alabama. They were two different trees...

Here's the surplus...

My system also. I burn from the front of the shed to the back. Each spring, the old wood moves to the front and the newer wood comes in the back. I'm overloaded at the moment and have a bunch in the open...

"Beast" is a good name for Spike...

I had a client whose neighbor Spiked a nice sized tree on a lake near here. The perp's house was downhill. There was a circle of brown around the tree and then a brown path down hill, pointing towards the poisoner's garage...

I have a similar problem, but with privet, which has almost a 200 year head start and is hardier than poplar. The trunks range up to about 5" in diameter. We cut them as close to the ground as possible and then paint them immediately with either Roundup brush killer or Bayer, using the...

From the description of what he wants, I'd second the recommendation for trying the new battery saws. All the manufacturers are making them. I just happen to pick the Stihl MSA120 and it has so much torque, it's edging out my smallest Stihl trim saw. Also, it can sit forever - no worries about...

It was on the replaceable tip. Thanks. I pulled the clutch cover and uncovered the engraving on the bar, which clearly says ".50". As I said, the .50 chain seems to fit snugly and firmly in the saw groove. However, that doesn't explain the page from their site, which doesn't advertise a separate...

OK, just bought a new Husqvarna 372xp, after years of running nothing but Stihls, which all, except the little electric saw, run .63. I bought a Tsumura lightweight bar off eBay (I know, I know), advertised as .50. I got it, mounted it and looked at the engraving. There it was, clear as day -...
