Are they venomous?

No

As seen posted in a local store. I wasn't sure if this belonged in this thread or the WTF thread... Makes me rethink the roughly 16-20 cords I've given away in recent years!

239.99 Why the heck dont they just say 240.00??? Also, isn't that a little steep fir 1/3 a cord?

Why that is an example of HVFW. When only the best will do.

That guy's persistent.....
I just put lots of people on ignore....saves lots of time....

You can do that???

 

[Kodiak Kid]

Maybe I should clarify. I was standing on the deck shooting at dog turds out in the yard.

Man! S**t must of been flying everywhere!

 

[Kodiak Kid]

Me too, but I'd rather have a mini excavator, a mini skid, and a tractor .

Nice one kid .
I have more stihls than most stihl fan boys . The 200 is a great saw, if you get one that actually runs well and doesn't constantly need work done on it. They were factory hotrods, and you know how much work hotrods need; even with all their power/rpm, the 201 will take a 200's lunch money. But don't tell the 200 only guys that or their hair will light on fire . I don't mind stihls, as long as ergonomics aren't an issue when using them, so basically bucking or saws under 13lbs. I have an ms192 rear handle, ms200 top handle, ms201 rear handle, and recently bought a ported 241. I wish husky had better offerings under 50cc, while I like the 540t, they are much harder to find and harder yet to find at a good price, so the 200/201 works better in that class. I have the modded 242xp, but it has a front tensioner so I'm not as apt to grab if on jobs. I also have a ported ms261c, but I run one of my late model 550mk1's for limbing and smaller falling, nothing handles as well as a 550mk1. For 60s I have a few, but rarely run them, and wouldn't have bought the 562 if it hadn't been ported, even at that unless I was falling a bunch of smaller trees I'd probably just use the ported 365 or a modded 372 as they have more power (but the 562 will most likely get a little better fuel economy so I'd use that falling/ limbing smaller trees). Still waiting to try an ms400 to see if it has a place in the arsenal. Then the ported 7900 comes out for anything bigger, larger than that I'd just call friends with bigger saws or if it was a job I may buy something and then sell it when I was done.
As I've said many times in the past, hand me a saw full of fluids with a sharp chain, and let's cut. But for handling and looks, husky wins hands down, but it seems every manufacturer has at least a few good model's, heck I even have an echo .

Is that a barn your working on in the picture, if so, can I see a better picture of it please Brett? Im going to draw up a set of plans for a building permit to build an equipment barn/dry storage. Then submit it to the Kodiak Island Borough or as we say on the Island here. "Kodiak Island Mafia."

What ever size you decide on, add 20-30 feet to all sides/ends. You'll thank me later.

Yup! They are never big enough are they!

I built my shop to small. Now that's why I havy to build a barn!!!

I tried that. Still too small! LOL

FIL thinks they shrink when they get wet.

First snake I saw on my property and I had a close call with it. I was walking toward the outside corner of my barn and he was on the other side heading my way. We both hit the corner at the same time and I had to misstep to keep from stepping on him, lost my balance and fell down.
The only handgun I owned at the time was a Ruger Security Six that I bought used in the 70's. Shot around 15 foot away in a kneeling position with full wadcutter ammo while he was going through some tall brush. Lucky shot I think? Big sucker, 5' long and almost thick as a beverage can in the middle.

I'll deal with bear over venomous snakes any day of my life!!!



You want to see me scream like a little girl and run up a tree as fast as greased lightning with no hands???
Show me a venomous snake!!!☠
Also, my squaw grabbing a #8 cast skillet with the intent to wing a 99mph heater at me has the same affect!!!

I have built a lot of them and every single person I built for told me they wished they had gone bigger before I even finished.

That bear has no manners. Climbing on the furniture like that.

ROLMAO!!!

Well, the new gasket solved the issue! Still needs a fine tune on the carb.No need to do a base delete because this saw has plenty of power for me. May look into porting and muff mod after the new saw comes in late Feb.

Must be the guy in Accord on 209 . Thinks he has gold but he does sell it

 

[GrizG]

Are they venomous?

In folks' minds... 100s if not 1000s are murdered every year mistaken for copperheads!

 

[SS396driver]

People just panic, without actually knowing anything about what kind it is.

I don't mind non venoms snakes and I don't kill either venomous or no venomous snakes. I just have a bad fobia of venomous spiders and snakes! We have neither in AK. However, I've definitely seen my share of both living down south while in the Service!
