Down the slippery slope

[59Billy]

Just for the record, a couple of months of field testing have convinced me that the 98798 people who say a Stihl 290 is too small for milling hardwood are right. :deadhorse: The first few logs were fun, but once the new wore off, it started being a PITA.

So, Saturday, I pulled the trigger on an 066 magnum on ebay. Now I find myself wishing I'd gotten a "real" Alaskan mill instead of the Small Log mill. Or maybe I should use the 290 to drive a Ripsaw. Or...

But I can stop any time I want to.

Really.

semi-gloat: I was waffling between the 044 and 066 when the LOML told me to just shut up, get the bigger saw, and be done with it.

"Be done with it"....she doesn't get it, does she?

You'll love the 066, I know I do mine.

Well, she knows there ain't no "done with it", but at least this way, it'll be a little longer before I come up with an excuse to buy another saw.

btw, some of your posts figured in my choice of saws, so thanks. AS overall has been a great resource!

This is a great place. Some really good people who "know stuff". Glad I could help.
