This is Koty
hello, my name is Koty,
it would appear that my dad spent hours, upon hours here. it looks as if he mostly did alot of reading here, but also engaged in some colorful converstions over the last few years. first things first, my dad was a great guy who would do anything for anyone. secondly, over the last three years he was in alot of pain, and not always thinking clearly due to all the pain meds he was on. some of the stuff he posted here, was definately the meds talking, and i apologize for any feathers he may have ruffled. we lost dad a month ago to cancer, just after the busy harvest season, and it has been tough. i am 19, and the third generation of this family, born and raised in a john deere dealership. one of the last things dad helped get into motion, was incorporating Stihl power equipment into our dealerships, and effectively tripling the sales, service, and parts of lawn and garden equipment for the company. even though he often questioned the direction things were headed, i know he was very proud of the legacy this family has built in the Deere brand. now i need some help. dad had been collecting stihl chainsaws since the early 80's , i am told. he has accumulated more than 300 stihl chainsaws, and all but a dozen or so are still brand new/unused in the box. he had 10-12 saws that he would use, or let us use for firewood, the rest are untouched, unopened, new in the box. dad had a 30'x30' workshop, all of his saws were proudly displayed in this building. he called it his "saw shop". i am wanting to sell most of these saws, but am not sure how to go about it. i have no idea what these things are even worth. dad also had some dealings with a guy named Rich at a place called Myrtl Creek Saw Shop. i guess he is an avid saw collector as well, anyone here heard of him? dad left me his john deere 4020, which grandpa had since it was new. he and i restored it together, and finished it before his health completely failed, it is really all he had that i want. i just dont know what we will do with all these saws. just looking for some help here, and quit honestly some closure. heck i dont know, maybe i should just back that old 4020 in the "saw shop" and lock the doors tight, then maybe it will be my kids' problem. you all seem like a great bunch of fellas here for the most part, i can see why dad spent so much time here. he just loved those damn chainsaws for some silly reason. thanks for listening, Koty.
