    Should I have bought the CS-3410 instead of the MS 182.

    Hey all, Today, I brought home an MS 182 to complement my MS 290. I wanted a lighter saw to handle some of the delimbing I do, but after taking it home, I realized it isn't as light as I had hoped and has more power than I need. I noticed that the CD-3410 is 2 pounds lighter and has similar...

    Longevity of modern 90cc class saws

    Hello! I'm new to the forum (as a member), but I've benefitted by reading many of the discussions found on this website. I'm thankful you all have been so helpful to others in wrestling with saw decisions and giving them advice. Great group it seems. I'm asking what I hope can be an unbiased...

    Want to Buy Jonsered 2153

    I’m new to here. I’m a trail worker for NPS, and I’m looking to get ahold of a Jred 2153 for logout runs and personal use. If anyone has any leads I’d be happy to gain any insight. Thanks guys.

    Makita EA6100PR or Echo CS 620PW Chainsaw?

    Hi, I'm about to buy a second chainsaw and I'm torn between the Makita EA6100PR and the Echo CS 620PW with the wrap handle. Both are similarly priced and seem somewhat close in spec. Both are carried by Home Depot if I order online. The Makita has a 1 year warranty and I do have service shops...

    Suggestions for an all-day saw

    I've got a new farm that has been long neglected and I have what may be miles of fencing that is now overgrown with mostly privet. I'll be clearing the fence lines over the next few years--hopefully a few hundred yards by year-end (I work alone, slow and steady). I've been using a borrowed...
