[mainewoods]

May pick up one of these newfangled chainsaws and see if Randy will port it for me. He sure woke up my 346! :hmm3grin2orange:

Got to use the EARTHQUAKE for a few hours today on a neighbors tree sure I could of used one of my other saws but it was time to pull it out of the barn

Had a chance to use the Earthquake 3816 to fell a couple red oaks today.:msp_biggrin:

Mine has a MM and a non-safety chain on it.

Pulls strong.

First cool day in Minnesota in weeks so we took advantage of it.:msp_thumbup:

The Quake felled the trees and bucked up most of it. Went through 3 tanks and ran it like I stole it......

I am impressed with the light agile feel of this saw along with the smooth running viper motor.

Plenty of wood to split.

Jobs not done till you flush that stump.

Mine has developed a bit of a hot start issue that I need to investigate.....

Both my 38 and 41cc models have been run hard, so far only issue has been the kill switch on the 38 stopped working and I have been using the choke to shut it down till I get around to fixing it.

I like loaning out my Earthquake to see if someone can burn it up and it hasn't happen yet :cool2:

You'll really like it after it's ported, just keep an eye on it, the oiler has a hard time keeping up.

Spent most of the morning with the HUSKYQUAKE cutting up a couple Hemlocks

Which Earthquake?

I figured I would get a chainsaw to cut campfire wood for the cabin. Most of my tools are quality, bought when times were good. I recently bought a Chonda Predator engine for my pressure washer, and that thing purrs like a kitten and I'm impressed.

So, I found this site and was researching Stihl etc, and I find the Earthquake thread. I want one:msp_wink: I still think they look like a decent value off of ebay in the $100 range. I was thinking new since I am not a 2cycle mechanic, yet. Is there a preferred cc size or seller on ebay?

I am new to chainsaws and it will be mainly for yard cleanup, firewood etc. I am mechanically inclined and want to at least do a MM.

Thanks guys!

Welcome to A.S.!

If you think that you can work on chainsaws, maybe look for a used, working WildThing or Craftsman on Craig'sList. $30 - $70?

Often go on sale for $100 new. You will get a case and a warranty, and more availability for parts.

Off eBay, you don't know what you are getting. Note that at the start of this thread, experienced chainsaw guys were buying the Earthquakes for $30 shipped - different story.

Theses saws are not worth $100

 

[GregGA]

Ok then. Thank you and off to plan B!!

 

[GregGA]

Ok. Based on the knowledge I found on this site, I think I will get a Poulan Pro 5020AV from Amazon, with case $197. I will wait a day, so let me know if there is something else in that price range that I should get.

Thanks again for your help!
