Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

If I was in the market for a battery top handle, I'd have a long look at the Echo 2500t. I dunno what the power is like, but the advertised weight is pretty attractive...I think only 7-ish lbs with a battery, that's still lighter than most of the gas top handles. I think the battery powered Husky top handle is advertised at 6lbs, but that's w/o battery...I think ready to cut, they're around 11, but I could be wrong.

Thanks. I'll have to go looking to find an Echo dealer....or order one on-line. My local dealer closed down several years ago.

Nice, that's a good year.model, should be a good truck. Look into a transfer case brace. Cracked tailstocks are a common issue especially if you tune it or tow heavy. Cheap insurance, I fabbed one for a friend but they are pretty reasonable to order. Good.luck with your new to you ride.

Last batch from one tree service. He's had some of these on a rack for years. I've thrown out a few dozen that aren't worth cleaning, much less sharpening or reparing. I do a few at a time. Kind of relaxing

A former friend of mine had one of these for many years and never had any issues with it. It was an early 2500 Duramax with the Allison tranny. He towed a 32 foot camping trailer with it and an enclosed trailer many times a year. He swore by that truck to be so much better than a Ford diesel.

I do however like his chainsaw holster. It appears to be a universal fit for any saw. Yesterday the guy I bought my 36" bar from asked me if I had any Stihl saws. I told him I had a few but most of my saws are Husqvarnas. He is a former tree company owner. His words were those friggin Stihl saws are so friggin complicated and hard to work on, I'll take a Husqvarna over them anyday.

He must have owned 441s. The rest of the line up is pretty easy...the first xx2 series saw I tore down, I had to look at it a minute...once you figure out the order of operations, they are a breeze to work on. Their top handles are probably the easiest to work on, in fact the Huskies top handles are known to be pretty difficult.

I have both pro and farm Stihls. I have found that even the 2nd tier farm saws kick husky @ss.

The stihl farm saws are good but i am not crazy about the weight. But with my RA and tennis elbow i like lighter stuff.

I like the old story about the sisters wrestling each other. I can’t say I’ve ever seen that happen.

Yeah, they’re crazy. They still have no problems “sorting it out”
