Is that a barn your working on in the picture, if so, can I see a better picture of it please Brett? Im going to draw up a set of plans for a building permit to build an equipment barn/dry storage. Then submit it to the Kodiak Island Borough or as we say on the Island here. "Kodiak Island Mafia."Me too, but I'd rather have a mini excavator, a mini skid, and a tractor
Nice one kid
I have more stihls than most stihl fan boys. I don't mind stihls, as long as ergonomics aren't an issue when using them, so basically bucking or saws under 13lbs. I have an ms192 rear handle, ms200 top handle, ms201 rear handle, and recently bought a ported 241. I wish husky had better offerings under 50cc, while I like the 540t, they are much harder to find and harder yet to find at a good price, so the 200/201 works better in that class. I have the modded 242xp, but it has a front tensioner so I'm not as apt to grab if on jobs. I also have a ported ms261c, but I run one of my late model 550mk1's for limbing and smaller falling, nothing handles as well as a 550mk1. For 60s I have a few, but rarely run them, and wouldn't have bought the 562 if it hadn't been ported, even at that unless I was falling a bunch of smaller trees I'd probably just use the ported 365 or a modded 372 as they have more power (but the 562 will most likely get a little better fuel economy so I'd use that falling/ limbing smaller trees). Still waiting to try an ms400 to see if it has a place in the arsenal. Then the ported 7900 comes out for anything bigger, larger than that I'd just call friends with bigger saws or if it was a job I may buy something and then sell it when I was done.
As I've said many times in the past, hand me a saw full of fluids with a sharp chain, and let's cut. But for handling and looks, husky wins hands down, but it seems every manufacturer has at least a few good model's, heck I even have an echo.
What ever size you decide on, add 20-30 feet to all sides/ends.Is that a barn your working on in the picture, if so, can I see a better picture of it please Brett?

I have built a lot of them and every single person I built for told me they wished they had gone bigger before I even finished.

Well, the new gasket solved the issue! Still needs a fine tune on the carb.No need to do a base delete because this saw has plenty of power for me. May look into porting and muff mod after the new saw comes in late Feb.
Must be the guy in Accord on 209 . Thinks he has gold but he does sell it
In folks' minds... 100s if not 1000s are murdered every year mistaken for copperheads!
The tree guy I got the big Oak loaded on my trailer called . Has two big maples he’s taking down in a few weeks . Same deal as before ,his guys cut up the small stuff for me and he will crane the trunks into my trailer .
People just panic, without actually knowing anything about what kind it is.

I don't mind non venoms snakes and I don't kill either venomous or no venomous snakes. I just have a bad fobia of venomous spiders and snakes! We have neither in AK. However, I've definitely seen my share of both living down south while in the Service!
