Ralph, to be honest with you, there are a couple of reasons I'd rather post chainsaw questions in the commercial thread. First of all, these guys specialize in climbing saws, so if I had a 200t question, these are the guys i'd ask first. And secondly, some of those guys in the chainsaw forum scare me a bit over how much they "love" their saws. For many of the guys in the commercial thread, a saw is a tool and what we use to make a living. Sure, we take care of our saws, but we don't make "love" to them. For example, there is a thread in chainsaw right know about the strangest things you've seen done to a saw. Now to honest, I've done a fair amount of those things listed to my saws just to keep them running for the rest of the day, or until the parts come in-when a saw is down, money is lost. But to some of the guys in that forum, you'd think sacrilege was preformed on those saws. And thirdly, it seems alot of those guys only run those saws to cut a few cords of wood or they modify them and rarely use them. I want to talk to guys who take a new saw out of the box, take the spark arrestor off, then run that saw eight hours a day, six days a week, in all kinds of weather and in all kinds of situations. How they can keep that saw running even after dropping it thirty feet out of a tree is more interesting to me than modifying a 200t so heavily that it can't even be used.
But you're the boss, so no more saw questions in commecial from me. Just wanted to air my opinion.
