the all aussie dribble thread!

Second hand saw prices in Oz are ridiculous. Is it to much to ask to take the muffler off for a look see ?
The bar and chain look hardly used. He has got it advertised as an ex demo but told me some one bought it and only used it twice then upgraded to a bigger saw.

I’d be going with the 170. I’ve done a lot of cutting of small limbs to 10” rounds for firewood when camping with my 170 and it’s been great. I cannot believe the asking prices for these saws when they are second hand. I’ve seen them and they’ve been obviously used and slightly marked and people ask $220 for them. They seem to sell too [emoji2357]

Thanks Derwoodii, really confuse the truck out of me. Maybe just send the cheese & kisses out with a $300 budget and see what she brings home.

Any one want a slightly use chain offer me a good price. I also have a couple of sprockets as well.

A memory came up on my Facebook, I posted this 5 years ago -


We pulled up at camp the other day and I got out to collect some wood. As I left the car I noticed a baby goat about 5 metres away from me / the car. You normally expect fluffy animals to walk away from you, but I thought I'd try and attempt it over... I started to make a little squeezing noise and put my hand out and it came towards me!! As it got closer I got a little uncomfortable and then noticed it had horns, therefore I started to walk back to the car and away from it. Believe it or not it came towards me and followed me around the back of the car while I tried to walk away from it! The damn thing eventually cornered me so I jumped onto the bonnet of the car (I know they can head butt pretty badly even baby goats so took no chances). After it lost interest after a minute of two of holding me captive I was able to get down. Katrina was obviously laughing her head off and started stroking them, turned out they were pets of the homestead! I got off the bonnet with my ego somewhat battered and started to feed them etc...
2-3 hours later I went up to the house and passed a young family parked next to us. I had to ask if they saw what happened earlier and hoping they would say no.. He instantly burst out laughing! In his thick Queensland accent "Boy did I just!!! That was the funniest thing I've ever seen!! I told my wife, 'Marie check this bloke out he's on the bonnet of his kaaaar!' It's only a tiny goat!!"
It wasn't long after that I came back and I saw 3 girls no older than 5 walking the goats around, petting them and feeding them...

Apart from the 7900 (although a dolmar) and a 18v top handle, neither have I but the guys that have the EA32 and do a fair bit of cutting seem to like 'em, even with the dinky clutch cover and primer.

Only 40k, I would have demanded my money back after throwing it down on the counter

Clearly only ever ridden on dry days on swept and vacuumed tarmac.
