If ya need anything LC just say the word.....Ive got a couple saws the wife would love to see me get rid of and a nice little slab side Ruger Mk2...

I may have to PM you on that one, especially the MKII,... Dad broke down today and bought a new MS261, (Pictures as soon as I can get her phone). Since I can't find a new 7900 around here, and I was about to sell my John Deere 317 garden tractor anyway, I guess I will invest that $$$ in either a 372XP or a 395XP (since NOBODY has a 9010 around here). The other 2 saws will have to wait for the settlement and for us to decide what they're going to be. Oh well.

At least my friend's trailer survived (minus some charred wiring at the connector, which the whole loom needed to be replaced anyway) with a partial load of seasoned hedge that just needs to be finish bucked and split.:clap: Thank the lord it wasn't worse than that. Now if there's an affordable 880, 3120, or 2100cd out there,... :msp_wub:

I will keep a look out for something of that size check with Stumpy on the 372 he may have something that just needs put together.

What happens at these gtg and do I need to bring anything besides the echo.

There is lots of pics. in this thread from the past two GTG if you can find them.

Mainly it is just a bunch of my saw if faster I'll show you type stuff, wich usually leads to Stihl is better than Husky fighting back and forth:buttkick: Then the dolmar guy thinks he needs to jump in:dizzy: And then there is Stumpy:msp_wink: we spend alot of time trying to figure out what or who he will be hugging next or be wearing next.

In all reality it is just a group of good guys dragging there saws for many miles just to cut some cookies eat some good food and visit with each other. You will see and run saws that you have never seen before (dont forget your ear plugs)

You will have a good time I promise if not I will sign you up for a free hug :msp_wub:

Any more geeks coming with ya
 
Well I ran the MS261 in a bit of that Hedge today to break it in right... I think it might grow on me, but I'm going to miss my 346,... It feels a bit heavier, A LOT more solid, a bit less precise (like a surgical scalpel) and definitely is more of a mid-power band saw, than a top-end dragster like Pee-wee,... We'll see. For all that make the GTG, I'll pay (not sure what yet) for the most funny/compromising pic of Stump,...:yoyo: J/K Stump. :D
 
From what I have read the 261 will not wake up until around the 10-15 tank mark so dont give up on it

just ship it to me I can break it in at the GTG for ya:msp_biggrin:

No Need to do that atvguns, I just take the bar off and zip tie the throttle down for a full tank. Usually gets the "break in" done in less that a tank:laugh::laugh::laugh:
