    Black Friday Splitter Prices?

    If it's under 800 it a steal. If its 800-1000 its a good deal, but I'm not sure if deal with black Friday for that.

    Black Friday Splitter Prices?

    I've been thinking about that too. I've got some cash earmarked just for that right now in case it pops back up.

    difference between chain saws

    My grandpa has been cutting firewood for ~30 years for his own use. He has been doing it all along with 35-40cc saws (poulans and macs recently), maybe a 50cc saw in there somewhere. I recently gave him one of my back up saws, a clean stihl ms250. He was amazed at the power difference. I gave...

    difference between chain saws

    I'm not seeing the problem here. Biggest thing that needs to be established is what you're realistically going to cut (not "i turned down a 43" oak one time, so I need a saw to cut that") and how deep your pockets are.

    Are you kidding me ??? Definately what NOT to do !!

    That background looks a lot like he's in my area. There just happens to be a logging company in the next town over that matches his screen name.

    Should I keep my saw.

    If it was me, I'd take it back. No way I'm fighting through a 24-36" base cut with a 40cc saw. Go get a Stihl ms661.

    Stihl Ultra tastes funny!

    Screaming headache last several times I used it. Never again. At least not in my fuel jug anyways. Not sure what changed. been using it for 5+ years now.

    Stihl chains snapped

    No clue. Threw a new chain on the next day, continued the cut and inspected the log, and found nothing. It was cutting strong up until the break. I was thinking metal at the time it happened. Was still mid cut, so nowhere near the ground.

    Stihl chains snapped

    OK, so here's some better pictures. Like I said earlier, this probably dates 3-4ish years back. 28" stihl RS 3/8 .050 on a ms460. Saw was fully buried in oak at the time of the failure. Our dealers aren't the worse up here, they've always kept me running. They have all just left a bad taste in...

    Stihl chains snapped

    Yeah, I understand that now, a lot better then I did back then. Been thinking about the time frame some. I'm thinking this might be closer to 4-5 years. shop I bought it from closed up, mentioned it to the shop I started using, and they kinda shrugged it off like an "it happens" sort of thing...

    Stihl chains snapped

    And you will. As soon as I get home, find a beer, let the dogs out, and start a fire. In that order. Never did say anything to the dealer. Never crossed my mind actually. I just filed it under **** happens, and was greatfull for a well designed chain catch.

    Stihl chains snapped

    Nah. 30"+ oak? round. The one that was cut right before the chain snapped.

    Stihl chains snapped

    I'll get a picture when I get home. It's still on the wall from a couple years ago as a reminder.

    Stihl chains snapped

    I've only had one break. Scared the **** out of me. It was 3/8 .050 rs.

    Sure is quiet in here....do I need to start a fight?

    Morning. Ups did drop off my 562xp yesterday despite the weather. Man that thing is mean. Cut like crazy, right up until the point where the corners of my chain got rounded off because of the dirty frozen wood I've got around. Definitely going to take some getting used to. The whole...
