I see some 219 zipper in there, and there’s another cartridge as well in the first pic, maybe 22 savage HP?

I would put it out on the open market for $45k and see where that takes you.
They aren't!
When you make a drastic change, you should always do a reset on an mtronic saw. When I buy one from out west, the first thing I do now is to reset them, I used to think as you do, then I changed my ways. Heck my computer can't even get spellcheck right, and now I'm supposed to trust it with tuning my saw
.Many times you can instantly tell the difference just by running them.
Before.
After a reset.
I remember when they made one to go on your rear wheel.
That's the one I remembered seeing prior to this.
Now they sell the heads for putting on a PTO/hydraulic style auger, they look pretty cool, but I wouldn't want to run one without having something to stop the round/log from spinning other than the ground or your tire. They are called atomic splitters iirc, and they ain't cheap for just a chunk of steel, but if they work well...

Idk if it's cause I cut year round or if it has something to do with being stored in temp controlled environment, but I've never noticed any power gain or loss from them, I have heard them change tune and gain rpm in long cuts. Inky sae I had running issues with was when my 562xp went pig rich and the dealer didn't have a carb in stock to replace it, and claimed it needed an updated ignition module as well. Ended up getting the 400 at that point. Couldn't wait for parts to come in, as I was on a time line for finishing a job. It hasn't missed a beat so far.
To Roo or not to Roo. That is the question for feeding your dogs.
I feel your pain, my wife goes on a cleaning kick twice a year, and I lose alot of things because to her, its clutter. Due to me not caring to argue with her I wind up throwing things away that do have some use, so we certainly do try and get it recycled. I give away things that are worrth money, because I HATE selling things. My 03 Yukon XL right now for example, im about to give it away, rather than take calls from tire kickers..... My response to my wife questioning why I am keeping xxxxx? After I have thrown it away or recycled it? I buy something new at retail and dont even think about the cost. When we were first together, we didn't have any extra liquidity, so I had to live with broke, but free....
400 ran just fine today. 5 pulls cold, and 1 warm once and a couple pulls other times. I can live with that.
Fell one badly leaning tree that appeared to be sorta bracing a second big one.also with a bad lean. I was expecdting both to come down but I got so focused falling the 1st one that I didn't pay attention to the second. It was somewhat of a shock to find it on the ground about 5' from where I was sstanding.
Got the first one mostly brushed out and the top 49 ft wwere suspended in the clear. Tree had fallen on a big brush pile and was still rooted in the ground 20ft behind the pile. Fun bucking but disappointed. Wood was on good ffor about 25 ft from the top. Way leas than one load. Leaves a lot of big heavy rounds to get on the burn pile.
1975/76 it cost us $33k to build a new 3 bedroom ranch on our 3 acre lot. Three years later it was worth $76k. Now it is a Garrison Colonial with a fully finished two story 3 car garage and valued over $500k. The upgrades were done in 92 with the 2nd floor addition and garage at under $90k. The increase in value on our property was incredible. If we moved outwards from our location we could easily replace this house for a lot less money.
So your mix went to 40 to 1 and your Stihl sat still because of it. That doesn't sound right to me. I run 40 to 1 in all my saws without any issues. Even myc 550XP MKII with the electronics has no problem running it. Could you have double dosed it by accident?
I'm not looking forward to this Summer. I have so many dead Ash that need to come down.
Yup, same here and proud of it.
Same at my house. I make it a production to let her know when I use something that I've saved for 20 years instead of buying new.
Mine too . But I bought later than you did .I have no mortgage but I have over 200k invested without my labor so if I got 400k for it I could buy something cheaper but there are trade offs like shopping and mass transit there I can hop on a train and be in NYC in an hour . I’m talking my house in Dutchess county . And it’s making me money right now so I’m happy
My house in ulster county I’m about 30 minutes from anything . But I like the quiet.
I did that only once. What a ***** to get the saw started after cleaning it all out. Even then it sure smoked until I filled the tank for the 2nd time around. It happened because I was in a really big hurry. Gas in the oil tank and bar oil in the fuel tank. LOLI imagine bar oil in the fuel would do it. That's one thing I've not done. I've done most of the other stupid things
Took our exchange student to Niagara Falls for the weekend. No wood, no chainsaws but we got a good look at murica across the river. You could just smell the freedom
. Was planning on going across but we neglected to renew my daughter's passport. Face palm!

The local bar was so sure its bartender was the strongest man around that they offered a standing $1000 bet.
The bartender would squeeze a lemon until all the juice ran into a glass, and hand the lemon to a patron. Anyone who could squeeze one more drop of juice out would win the money.
Many people had tried over time, including the professional wrestlers and bodybuilders, but nobody could do it.
One day a scrawny little man came in, wearing a tie and a pair of pants hiked up past his belly button.
He said in a squeaky annoying voice, "I'd like to try the bet."
Even the hillbilly chicks burst into laughter.
After the laughter had died down, the bartender said, "Ok," grabbed a lemon, and squeezed away. He then handed the wrinkled remains of the rind to the little man.
But the crowd's laughter turned to total silence as the man clenched his fist around the lemon and six drops fell into the glass.
As the crowd cheered, the bartender paid the $1000, and asked the little man, "What do you do for a living? Are you a lumberjack, weight lifter, or what?"
The man replied, "I work for the IRS."
