Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[MustangMike]

FS, how are you liking that new saw??? I'm in the process of getting an outer spike for mine, they are skeletonized like the 661 R dogs.

Started first pull when I pulled it out of the truck cold. Then smoked a bunch. I thought I might have put oil in the gas tank but no way did I do that. Took the cap off and shined a flashlight down in there to look. Nope. AT saws dont like to be run dry then? I try not to do that anyway but I guess I need to pay closer attention

Glad she started right back up for you .
I don't let any of my saws run dry unless I'm getting them ready to ship. Here's how I think about it, the fuel gets low, the computer richens the mix, then you refuel and try to start, the mix is already set rich and you try to start and it gets flooded quit easily. I try to always let them idle down before shutting them off as well on all my AT and mtronic saws and I don't have any problems with mine starting even in the hot summer heat.

Loaded up the saws & tractor yesterday and headed to ground zero of a recent local tornado. Lots of scroungers on hand, lods of firewood available. Amazing there were zero injuries from the twister.View attachment 723845

Looked pretty bad out there, saw it on the news.

Concerning the 9010 for those big oaks I got given to me. A big thanks to @AlfA01 for a great deal and all the help. Wouldn’t own this saw if it wasn’t for him.

What color is the one he set you up with, I may be able to set you up with some of it's cousins, it's nice to have doubles, but triples .

My unnecessary 6 cube saw will likely make the trip to the charity cut if I go.

NICE! Someone who is younger than I am needs to compensate before I do.

 

[James Miller]

I'll compensate over and over if I could find deals like this more often .

Does it need some partners .

 

[Deleted member 149229]

I have a ported smurf 6421 I got from you and 2 smurf 7900. I think it’s happy. Might not be happy with the red headed step child 6421.

Those are distant relatives, I'm talking about other 9000 series cousins .

good procedure, chipper... imo. I do that too. on all my saws cept my 110-v model! lol... I do it to let the cyl head/cyl heat dissipate before shutting it off... I do like the cowboys, don't ride hard, then put up wet!

so far, so good!

I am amazed at all the recent bad weather. NE, especially of late...

 

[James Miller]

Oh my James .

I couldn't say no for the price. Then it got better when Ben told me I could work it off helping him empty the shop since there closing. It's a tank, the guys that ran these things day in day out in big timber had to be a different breed.

Dahmer if you ever get a chance, see if you can get to gtg. I’d love to see your ported 9010 against a ported ms661.
Here in Aus you can still buy new 9010 smurfs for $1170 Aud ($849 usd) vs ms661 $2100
