    Trying to figure if an ebay saw is real

    I saw a deal that was too good to be true on fleabay about 2 years ago. They always boast about their "buyer protection program"....so I took a chance and bit, knowing it might be a scam. It was!! 20 silver dollars for $300, ended up being a hacked account. Ebay checked, and refunded my money in...

    Gearing up. Saws are ready

    We got maybe 8-10" on Block Island. Power went out last night at 7:30, and came back on at 10:30 this morning (Thank GOD for wood stoves). There's a layer of ice under everything, the vehicles were ice-clad. I plowed with my tractor once I thought the snow was done, got yelled at by some local...

    Top 3 saws on your list?

    562XP Ported and modded out the wahzoo 372XP " " " " " " Poulan Wild Thing (loaner) Along with my 550XP, that would be the perfect 3 saw plan for a small island that doesn't have too many big trees.......

    What is the acceptable warm up time of a 550xp?

    My 550 is a PIA to start: usually fires on the first or second pull with the choke, but sputters. Once it gets going until I can blip the throttle without stalling (about 10-15 seconds) I just let it idle for a minute or so, then it's good to go. I might just try t a teeny adjustment and see if...

    Husky 545 vs 550xp

    Tell us more!! Most of us who have 550XPs have had close to zero problems with the autotune.......

    Husky 545 vs 550xp

    The difference is Rev Boost, and almost .5 horsepower more on the XP (professional). Although the 550XP is a pro saw, the 545 has most of the goodies it's brother has. They are the same size, and weigh just about exactly the same. The 550XP will stand up to long use....the 545 may as well. I...

    Not sure what to do

    Do I have it right that there was no ebay transaction? How the heck can he open a dispute in the resolution center (or whatever they call it) on a non-ebay purchase? Either way, it's a sucky situation. Someone else asked about whether you accepted returns in the listing, if not, the guy has...

    PPE??? Which to buy?

    I use Labonville (made in America!) full wrap chaps with a Husky helmet/face shield/ear protectors. I was very surprised at how easy the chaps were to get used to, they are actually quite comfortable. In winter at least:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

    ***killer combo***

    Congratulations, you got a nice saw!!! And you came to the right place for advice, even though some people may disagree on some things. I have the same saw, it came with a 20" Husky bar. I got an 18" Sugi Hara...turns out it's only 1/2" shorter than the 20" bar!!:msp_confused: I can lift...
