Who has the best prices on Husqvarna saws? since I'm in CA I have to pay tax with baileys. They still beat chainsaws direct though with tax and shipping

A couple of minor variations, but, Chainsaw Acquisition Disorder, Joe

I went in to see my doctor a while back for a new prescription and she asked me how I was. I said I was ok other than having contracted CAD. She had never heard of it and was scratching her head trying to work out whether she'd missed something in medical school. I kept her hanging for a while.

Small things amuse small minds .

What does CAD mean?

C hainsaws A re D umb.

 

[rarefish383]

Here we go, lets see how many versions of CAD there are, Chainsaws Are Dangerous, especially in my hands, Joe.

C hainsaws A re D umb.

I actually use that in chainsaw safety training:

I state that 'chainsaws are very powerful, but D-U-M-B machines';
They will cut your leg as easily as cutting a tree, and they will not feel bad about it.
So, it is up to 'us' (the operators), to understand how the tool works; what can go wrong; and how to work in a way that even if things 'go wrong' we minimize the likelihood of getting hurt, hurting someone else, or doing lots of property damage.
(We gotta be the smart ones!)

Hmmm , CAD , I think , that's somethin made up ...
A while back someone was talking about the Makita/Dolly 3601 , I had talked to the Makita rep to see if there were any refurbs available . He stopped in today , he found a dealer that has a new one that he wants to get rid of at less than dealer cost , I should have it by Wednesday .
No sir , no CAD here , not one bit ...
BTW , a friend of mine just started working for a local large rental company , they told him they are a preferred Husky dealer and get awesome pricing , cost + 10% he gets .
I asked him to price out the Husqvarna splitting maul ,,,,, It's on the way .
No AAD either lol

Nosiree , no such thing as AD , nope , it don't exist , nada , not at all .
I hope it's nice this weekend , I'd like to go scrounge up some more firewood , I don't have the buffer that turnkey4099 has ...

The CAD I used to suffer from had subsided, GAD has been killing me lately. My buddy had his FIL move in and was crying the financial woes to me. I offered to take his .300win mag off his hands, his .243 off his hands and asked about his coworkers 45-70. He asked what the hell is wrong with me, I replied, they're like Pokémon, I gotta have them all.

To stay on track, 8* outside my house and 73* inside. Wife had the stove cranking when I got home.

 

[MechanicMatt]

Do set the record straight, I think at one time I had 20+ saws. I'm down to 4Husqvarnas, 2Stihls, 2poulans. The rest have gone into homes that will use them more regularly. In truth I only run the Husky's, the Stihls are antiques, and the Poulans are "loaners". One lives at BIL house and the other is in the shed someplace

 

[svk]

I had about 40 saws including non running projects this summer.

Now I'm down to what's in my signature plus a L65 in a box, a complete 55 that will hopefully be running this weekend, and two 55 parts saws. One of the Echo's is SPF to be delivered this weekend and the 4218 is promised to a friend as well.

I'd still like to get my hands on a larger vintage Homelite, a Husky 480, and who knows what else.

Just spent 1/2 hour moving snow so I could get to my 16" firewood pile. We were done selling as soon as this last storm hit but a goof ball called my son begging for wood. He said yes not knowing that the last 2 day storm had dumped 2' of snow along our fenceline road to the split wood pile. And the conveyor was buried in a 3' snow bank. Luckily the wind had blown the snow around the wood pile in the middle of the field. Got the snow moved enough and then we had to handload it into the truck. He just got back and the guy says he has buddies who "need" wood too. We only have 2 cord of 16" wood cut in the pile. I do have about 50 ash logs that have been sitting on a windy hill for 2 years though. This weekend I will be a wood cutting/ splitting animal and get it all done. In my mind I will but time will tell. Don't need to do it but the money is nice to have. And No I didn't charge him extra for the PIA.
Good thing my order from Laser came in. Chains are for the little saws, I already have a dozen for the big ones. Going to designate one of my 260's to garbage cutting duty only, using all my old chains, sprockets and bars and sharpen with electric grinder until they are all used up. Will change out the other 260, 280 and 290 to new sprockets, bars and chains and go to hand filing only. Getting tired of ruining files on chains that were burnt with my grinder and my old eyes. I've decided I'm only going to hand file and see how things last. I keep chains in toolboxes anyway so I'll just get a couple more toolboxes and keep everything separate.

 

[dancan]

I've not used my Tecomec grinder in years , hand file is all .
How's that laser stuff holding up ?

 

[cantoo]

The Laser stuff is okay as long as I order the right stuff. I screw up and get the cheaper bars once in awhile but use them up anyway. My son's work is a Dealer so I get a decent discount I hope anyway. They are a bike dealer so don't push saw stuff much so I top up their order once in awhile so they get free shipping. I used to really like their oil until they started charging a Hazard fee for crossing the border.

You went from GAD to FAD lol.
Maybe I'm talking about myself now, cause I surely don't suffer from CAD.
Scrounged a box off the porch today today .

Had to start moving some of the oak chunks today to make room for the next batch. Pulled that old trailer out of the tree line a few weeks ago it sat buried for years and the only thing wrong with it is the tires don't hold air very well anymore.

Steve, if you make it up 95, was it Albany, I can squeeze a couple of my smaller Homelites in your back seat. I know I have an XL 900 series I could get rid of, maybe a C72, and I have a Super 1050 that I cooked the cylinder and piston on, I've got a new used cylinder and new greek piston, and an nos carb still in the box. The two 80CC saws probably haver 20-24" bars and the 1050 has a 24 and 36 with new chains. I have another XL 924 with a 30" bar but want to keep that one, and another Super 1050 that I use as my back up milling saw. I could probably throw the old Zip-6 in too, it's in the 80-90CC range, made mid late 60's. Let me know when you're heading up the road, Joe.
