Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[SteveSS]

Ahhh, don't worry guys I like them both, but I only own The Swedish ones........well I might have a stihl but own at least half a dozen Husky's


you know its sad when you lost count...........

Don't I know it. When I joined AS last year at this time, I had one little MS271. I've added an 026, 260 Pro, 441, Dolmar 5105, and Big bore Makita. All runners. I've also added a variety of fixers in the form of two Makita 6421's, a real cool John Deere saw (50cc), and a little bitty Mac that my Dad wants for trimming up cedar limbs.

One of these days I'm gonna have to pick up one of them hooskies and give it a run.

AS sucks!

View attachment 461837 I know this aint exactly the kitchen gadget forum, but Mrs. Nazi recently picked up this gizmo from Tupperware. This thing has a recoil on it and the blades chop as you pull it over. Made me think of a chainsaw and it tickled me. Just thought I'd share it with you guys.

'Mastermind meets the Tupperware slicer dicer' will be a thread worth subscribing to.

And the usual suspects will be suggesting he time it in carrots instead of bananas.

C C. the leaf you show is some type of oak. not sure of which species. good wood whatever kind it is.

I knew it was oak by the leaf just had trouble figuring out which oak. But yes be good burning as all oak is.

 

[Coro cutter]

That is a Pin Oak. Red oak leaves are different. But in the end oak is an oak and it all burns nice.

Thanks nomad yes well seasoned and burns good

Where did you find the 6421s? Just picked up the Echo 900, looks to be in good shape. Can't wait to test it.

I snagged them when I was in Nashville for work one week. I called the rental manager and he said that he had two on the bench that the in house tech couldn't fix and wanted them gone. He sold them to me for $75 each. Haven't taken the time to dig into them yet, but they're in good shape cosmetically.

I like to tinker with them. Never hurts to have parts.

Nice. I wold love to pick up a few more real cheap. I'm done with chainsaws now unless I come across a really screaming deal.

Pin oak is in the red oak family.

True it is part of the red oak family but that is a fairly generic classification.

Well no firewood for me for a couple weeks. The truck went into the shop for a trans.

It was weird, just up and quit on me. No signs of any problems before it happened.

I hear you.

I started with an Echo 660 EVL when I joined.lol

Is it still under warranty?

 

[Ryan Groat]

Unfortunately no, it has 113xxx miles on it. The dealership said that they will try and work with GM to help get some parts paid because it's only 2 years old. But I'm expecting it to come out of pocket.
