Added another cutter to the operation

[JFerg65]

After several years of having my wife help out with the hauling and splitting of our yearly wood supply (about 18 -20 cords between us and my mother-in-law), she was finally checked out with the chainsaw over the weekend. She is like a kid in a candy store. She did a great job!

So this week she gets her own saw. Just ordered her a pair of Labonville's so she will be set with her PPE and her new saw hopefully by the weekend.

I'm looking forward to having the other saw in the woods.

Welllllllll?????? What did she Get?????? (346xp??????)

 

[JFerg65]

Haven't decided yet. It will be a Stihl though. I have an 036, MS192T, and an older 026.

I'm going to try to get the dealer during lunch tomorrow.

Were you to go get a new 441 or even a 460, the ladies would have three saws to choose from...

That was my thought too... she has 3 to choose from when you buy yourself a new 460!

Trust me guys the thought crossed my mind. But if she doesn't end up with the shiny new saw, the idea of adding a saw to the inventory will be DOA!

Take the 036, polish it up reeeaal good and put it in the box that your new 460 comes out of....?

Well I came home with her new saw today. I opted for the MS250. I looked at the whole line and I new I did not want one of those with all the new technology in them. EEZZEE this and EEZZEE that, intelicarb and what not. To get into something with a good old fashion compression release I was into a saw that was just going to be too big for her. This seemed to be a good overall compromise. It has a 16 inch bar with good old fashion chain adjustment. This will be a good one for her to start with. If she moves up she can have the 036 and then I get the 460.

Well when she gets the new saw pics are needed.

Smart Move.. Get her something that she can handle and enjoy using. Nothing is more enjoyable than working as a team and not walking around with a sore back the next day. When it comes to saws, big is not always better. My wife enjoys spending time with me in the woods. Her idea of a fun weekend is bringing home a nice load of oak and making another trail so we can get deeper in to the woods. If I got her a chainsaw, she'd be out there all the time.

She calls it bonding but I know better because she also counts the dead trees along the road when we go someplace..

Sounds like you are a lucky guy and she is a keeper..

The Mrs won't touch a saw, but she has become a regular participant in wood delivery and stacking operations.
