These two different patches of standing dead are right off an old logging road. Just minutes from home! After cutting timber In remote camps for years. These snag strips make for great weekend wheeler logging fun! Just fall'n and haul'n!Keep your head up though and watch out! A lot of slab bark and rotten tops!
well, imo
I'm not sure I understand the significance of the theme, but hey, sometimes you just run with it! Happy birthday Clint.

If there's nothing wrong with the 250 I don't think there would be any advantage getting the echo.
You can do it. @Cowboy254

I dropped this beautiful stick of firewood yesterday. 40" on the stump. It was broke off about two thirds up and I hauled the top half out yesterday, (three loads) and I'll have the other half out of the woods today! Today will take two full War Wagon loads plus a small load of the last two butt rounds. Good fun! 
Rounds and Ribbons my fellow Brethren, Cutters, and Sawyer's!
Rounds and Ribbons! I'm hoping to get over two cords out of this spruce snag when it's all said and done! Until next time...
Cut safe, stay sharp, and be aware!

I always try to stay as safe as possible! That's all we can do as cutters right? Is try try our best to stay safe? And also thankyou
Finally finished up the tree row. There was more we could have done, but the machine had to be back by 3. Ended up using the 359 today. The 562xp kept flooding itself (yes I tried a new plug, didn't help any.) Ended up getting a decent bit of cherry, black walnut, locust, and mulberry.(I finally started picking the logs back off the burn pile till dad got the message lol) went and dropped off the mini. Then ran back to dad's and finished cleaning up our tools and put the tractor away and what not. Dad asked what I was doing with my saw. Figured the way it was running something in the electronics of the carb wasn't working, so I told him I'd stop by the dealer on the way home and see what they had to say. Flooded it's self out good and proper. Was quoted $300.00 parts and labor. Told them I'd think about it. Shelves were basically bare of new saws. They said no new stock was expected until September at the earliest. (Small dealer closest to my house) went home. Put the trailer away and cleaned up the saws. Thought about it for a little and called the dealer across town. They had zero husqys comparable to the 562xp one ms400cm and one ms462.... asked if they would hold them till tomorrow.(they would be closed till I ran to the other side of town) got a resounding no....... ill post up pics of the ms400 I bought over the phone, when I pick it up tomorrow morning.

250 has been a beast to start. I put an aftermarket recoil on it and seems to be doing better. I haven't given up on it yet, this summer will tell. I agree there isn't really all that much between the 2 if the 250 will start and run.
Get the echo...they start easy...
I'm really thinking about it for that reason. Happy with my smaller Echo's. If I could find a real deal I'd do it. I haven't been happy with the 250 since I bought it instead of a Dolmar 421.

One guess as to witch stick is hitting the ground next!

Is that a silencer? on a paint ball gun?
Why not use both?
IMO when cutting all day, hr after hr it’s better on the saws swap them every tank.
That's just showing off hr!!!!!! Lol
I believe it's a pellet gun

Couldn't help myself! Had to go get those last two butt cuts before supper! Took the 260 this time to buck a few 20" rounds to keep the big rounds from rolling around. The 260's power to weight ratio is pretty impressive to say the least when set up with the right size cutting implements. That little saw is quite the "little engine that could!" I like to run a 16" .50 gage bar and .325 full comp round chisel on her. She really performs with that set up for a small saw! Madsen's set it up with a 20" .50 gage bar and .325 full comp and also set it up with a 16" .50 gage bar and 3/8 full comp. I thought it was a bit to much for her to pull after running both set ups. When stepped it down to the .325 pitch on a 16" bar. The saw really performed and impressed the heck out of me! I was running 70cc and up for years before I bought the 260. I didn't know a 260 had that kind of power when set up properly! I'd put it up against a 270 any day of the week!
