Poor advice becoming more common on AS...

[MCW]

Op you seem to be very knowledgeable about bars and chains, but with all due respect if I have questions pertaining to bar model # etc. I will just go to Oregon's website. I go to the manf of the products I buy for hard data. I come to AS for peoples opinions and some is good and as you've mentioned a lot is bs.

If a few guys on here had done the same research on bars and chains that you do then this thread wouldn't have been started Just remember not to go to GB for advice on DL counts on their longer bars

Opinions are fine, it's when the answer is black and white but they still argue that frustrates me.

Stayed at Motel 6 so I can answer any question. Whether it is correct is another matter.

Bad advice from Jerry? (pioneerguy600)

NEVER!

Although his cremesicle glasses do need a new prescription

Wow, so all I have to do is to read for a sufficient length of time, then I can pontificate with acceptance on here?

My experience has been that reading can only take you to the starting line. Until you forget to put in bar oil even though you mixed your gas at 43.672:1 you will think that gas oil mixture is the only oil issue involved. Until you walk up in front of several competent sawyers at a GTG and try to cut off a cookie with the chain on backwards you wont understand there are more things to chain performance than brand name.

Just my experience. Unfortunately a lot of the old timer threads are gone. My favorite was Art Martin. Just because I read his stuff it never motivated me to stand up and say I was a logger.

It would seem that with some of the newer members you don't even have to read much to pontificate

That's actually a brilliant muffler mod. You can open or close the can like an adjustable tuned pipe!

And here we go again! Another case of not knowing what is being talked about. Those aren't killer wasps, they are dung beetles! The muffler mod however is top notch!!!!

 

[sachsmo]

Thanks Jerry,

I should have got arrowhead too.

Who's Neil,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Dano?

I give tons of bad advice here. Once I got enough posts that the mods were concerned newbs might actually believe me, they asked I include a disclaimer in my signature line. "Buyer beware."

Of course you should. You'll be able to prune the shrubs off the back porch. I have a Husky 3120 fitted with a 60" bar and do it all the time.

Ok thanks. Can I do it in my underwear though? I hate to get dressed to prune off the porch
