husky kicks

Thats what they said about my thumb, it's still gone.

How'd it happen?

How'd it happen?

Mitre Saw.

 

[SawTroll]

Yup... you'll go far with that mentality... Not.

...seriously, skip the 3120 "felling" saw and go straight to a 372XP, or a 575XP. Something that was no kiddin' designed to be a pro felling saw.

You got that right!

...but where in that setup is the MS361????????

Defenitly not in my setup.

Boy the day Husky makes a saw as reliable as a 361 you will probly be a real old man by that time and ya pappy will surely be up in chainsaw heaven. Now go fetch me the paper will ya....

Dude, quit being a tool. The 361 is a great saw by any possible measurement. Start moving more thought processes to the larger head and start developing a clue. You are an adult now, start thinking and acting like one.

You are in the midst of hundreds of man years of knowledge, with some guys who have forgotten more than you will ever know. Yet, you overlook all this experience and knowledge in order to make a complete fool of yourself. Instead of letting these guys show you how to build a fire, you prattle on about the great fire you are going to build...as you freeze your dingles off.

If you were looking for a 60cc class saw and came across a deal on a 361, and didn't buy it, you would be an idiot. I was looking for a 70cc class saw, really wanting an 046, but found a 365 in need of an upgrade. I got the Husky. Didn't even think about the politics. The downside for me is dealer support...I really don't have any. Parts are a pain, I can't just go to the Stihl dealer 2 miles away and order them. But, I can work around that, the saw is worth the effort. If I would have found a Dolmar, there would be a Dolmar on my workbench as we speak. A good saw is a good saw, no matter what color it is, or the brand name on it. I bought my 3120 because 1) it was a good saw, 2) it came from a reputable AS member, 3) I could get an adapter to use the bars I had been using on my 066. I was originally looking for an 084 or 088, but couldn't find one that wasn't trashed or overpriced. It's actually very likely that the 088/880 is a better saw than my 3120, but not in any way that will affect my life or the fact that I chose the 3120. I needed a big milling saw, and I'm very happy with it. Perfect for what I need it for. Don't much care if an 880 can get through a log 20 seconds faster, or whatever, I just needed something faster and more capable in big logs on the mill than my 066, and I got that.

BMW used to have a great motorcycle ad. It stated that you should forget 0-60 times, and buy the one that was best from 0-100,000...miles. Life isn't about the little things, it's about living and learning to live better using your experience and the experience of others. Its about the trip, not about the next stoplight.

[RiverRat2]

Sometimes you need to change your gameplans,, in order to survive!!!

I have a 141 which I curently climb with and a 51 which is mainly used on the ground but has been in a tree a couple times.I want to get a 338xp when I buy the 3120 and as I said before after I make some money and get started in tree service I will buy the 372.I am not arguing or foresaking your opinions but I seldomly if ever change my game plans.

R U feeling OK New Guy?????

Thankya son. Now if ya wanna go out and get some Huskie's WITHOUT ya paw's blessing a 346 for limbing and a 372 for felling will pretty handle all the tree work you will come across. That big 3120 ya after is a saw you won't use hardly at all unless ya got some helluva big wood to cut. Now remember there aint no more room in the shed for anymore dayumm saws so build ya own shed and stop highjacking my mix oil and bar oil, thought I didn't know didn't ya, :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:

[newguy18]

Come on man its a saturday night just trying to get everyone in here to have some fun.

 

[Lakeside53]

I've already had a few, and there wil be a few more before the night is out. You, on the othre hand, need to wait a couple of years..:rockn:


Now listen up... It's Saturday night ... you're 18... and being glued to the computer so a bunch of old guys can beat on you isn't healthy. Go out, jog a few miles, have a chat with your mom/dad, cook them desert, call up an old friend and chat, mow the neignbors lawn, or whatever, but get the heck away from the screen.


When I was 18... I was only interested in a few things... and they all worked nicely together.... I suspect my love of beer, women and cars all started about then.
