LOL, Yes alot of money in them honeys:dizzy: Only one is actually a Wild Thing, the other has the colors though. All of those saws were junk basket cases that I salvaged, except the 3400 on top and the 385xp, bought them new. I know, alot of you Stihl guys probably think there ALL still basket cases:) But they run great and cut alot of wood.

Gregg,

You're better off not paying attention to those "Stihl guys". They like to smell each others farts so much they even have a special stihl club. I think they are more like "stihl sheep". Any way... kudos to you for owning non-stihls.
:greenchainsaw:
 
While I generally don't like mountain bikers, (I have to repair the fences they cut), that is a great pic. Amber is holding the saw like it is a hot water bottle.

Well, i gotta say i'd hate that too! we are a non-profit advocacy group, a chapter of the IMBA. We work to resolve land use issues so mountain bikers can enjoy the sport while being an asset to the community.

why don't you visit http://www.imba.com/ and see if you can contact a local chapter, chances are you and the local bikers can come to a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Why are you so against Stihl? I like all good chainsaws and Stihl has made a lot of them. I wouldn't own a Stihl homeowner saw and I've made it clear why. I'm not trying to pick a fight here, just curious why I always see you posting comments like this.
 
Roland,

The saws are always so cool,
That I agree with ya ! :)

the grass is always so green,

this is a rainy country, and I love my Kubota lawnmower....:)


you have a lovely wife

I can't complain really, but beware, all women are the same ...:cry:

the twins are well behaved

I can't complain either, but at their age, they become a handful :)


life must be pretty good in Belgium.

Life is good but it could still be a lot better :

- I got a tax bill this year that ruined my working appetite
- Two speeding tickets in the last week
- the kids have high school exams this week, and my son has not really impressed me so far.
- we had elections this week that left us again with a bunch of useless politicians

but there still is plenty of BEER !!!!!! Life remains good.:cheers:

Alright I'll lay off. I just don't see all of the fuss over their stuff. It costs more and it isn't any better. I'll "pauloh-gize":)




..even though I don't like it....

Is she really really small or is that a big saw?
Sweatshirt or a tent!!!!!!

fredmc, I'm not a Stihl hater, just don't own any, for whatever reason. I never owned a Husqvarna either, till last fall. I hear ya though, there are a few, not many, that kinda look down there noses at anything not made by Stihl. I remember when I first started reading these forums, before I finally joined in. I was searching Poulan stuff, and I remember somebody asking about a 3400 Poulan, The first response was " Don't bother, its a $100 POS sold at the big box stores!" That was it, from a Stihl head.Had no clue obviously to what it was. They never were a $100 saw to begin with, I think I paid dern close to $300 out the door, from a saw dealer, back in 1985.
Oh, I must admit I am a member of the Poulan Lovers Group on here too, Only fart I smelled so far is my own! :greenchainsaw:

Yup, Me too. The cover pic is my saw. Also had to smell a few of my own............NOT GOOD <a href="http://www.sweetim.com/s.asp?im=gen&lpver=3&ref=11" target="_blank"><img src="http://cdn.content.sweetim.com/sim/cpie/emoticons/000203DF.gif" border=0 ></a>

Yes! and a fine lookin saw it is stihl sawing! I think some of the younger members that knock Poulan saws, is all they know is the newer low cost stuff they make nowdays. Its a shame they don't make pro style saws any more. Its like anything else, I suppose, you start out with something, ya get to know it and stick with it. Just like cars or trucks, motorcycles, or whatever. Then become kind of brand loyal. Maybe someday I will learn to speak a little German, My Sweedish ain't to good yet, but learning. :)

Gregg,
The older poulans were great saws, I had a 3.7 like yours except mine was black and grey. that ole saw cut a lot of wood for many years. Probably wasn't a lot wrong with it when i got rid of it. It wouldn't start and i knew nothing about a saw then. Wish i still had it to fix up now or at least try.

Ya, I agree too, the Poulans of that era RIPPED!!! My 5200 has got some BALLZZZZ

I don't know Joe, That looks to be a very good collection ya got going there.:)
I just might have to try one of those 25 series saws before long. You should keep us posted over in the poulan group or thread on how your 3700 project is going. I think ModifiedMark has a new 3700 & 4000 projects started also.

Nice pics! Gregg,

Hey Gregg, just so you know (and I think you do) I was just pulling your leg on the Wild Thing post.
You do have a nice collection of saws. I wanted to say that in the last post post, but it sounded sarcastic next to the Wild Thing coment..:)
I can remember back in the day, my two uncles both had Poulan Pro's of some type and they could really make the chips fly. I was only 9 or 10 at the time and was restricted to hatchet/kindling duty...
Wish I knew someone with a Wild Thing. I'd love to cut a few cookies with one, just so I could say I had....:cheers:

No problem Country1, Im not a lover of the Wild Thing, was just curious myself. They get bashed all the time. I didn't want to buy a new one, so got several real cheap, and try to make a running saw. Only expense in it was $25 for piston & ring. Oh, and a bar & chain, can use it on the other saw as well. There obviousley not in the same class as the older & bigger Poulans, but I think for a little use "home owner saw" it should be great. My sisters boy friend comes out here to cut wood, last couple of years, and thats all he has is a Wild Thing. LOL But let me tell ya, he has cut tons of wood with one, and big stuff too. So it can be done. To each his own I guess.

Gregg,
 
Not a photo, but close enough. Not a big log, but it is Beech:
