I hear there is a waiting list to join the club....
That's awesome. How does it feel to be hated by people all over the country?
As for scrounging, I'm still cutting away on the same place @Marshy ridiculed me about earlier. I thanked the lady for putting up with me then she asked why I was leaving all the other dead standing/downed oak. Her wooded yard may be my permanent scrounge spot.
Marshy and I are competing for most disliked AS mod. Although I hear Tonyk isn't far behind Or as I heard we are referred to, "the liar, the crier, and the 285 killa".
Heck yeah, ride that scrounge until it is gone. Sometimes if you don't come back soon enough people will think you don't want the wood and give it away!

It is cold & windy here today, and it got colder as the day went on.
I brought my brother a small load of Cherry for his fire place, and wished I had dressed warmer! Sorry, no pics.
We also played with his new 241 a little, not bad for a tiny saw!

Reid , sounds like you scored
I like my 241 , you may need a little finesse at 12" but sure is nice when you get to the tops

Then you should bring back the dislike button to keep score. I do miss that feature, it has soooo many uses.
As a moderator I'm glad they took it away. Caused too many arguments.

There were also the dislike wars. Where members would dislike everything certain people posted.
I got helluva load of hard maple that way. If it's down and it's close, I don't like to leave it alone until it's in my backyard.Marshy and I are competing for most disliked AS mod. Although I hear Tonyk isn't far behind

I wouldn't mind one of those tiny saws to replace my craftsman (which I will relegate to pallet and ice fishing duty). I hate swinging 15lbs on a top. Wears me out before I get to the big wood!
Is that stuff equivalent to any of the major manufactures.

Depends on what you want to spend. But if it doesn't need to be a pro saw, the muff modded echo cs 400 with an 18" bar is my go to for he small stuff. Good deals on them used. They are only $300 brand spankin new. I got mine used for $75. Just an idea. It's light, has good power with the muff mod and really has good AV.

I like it just the same as the stihl, husky, ace brand or any of the others I have tried. It works well for me and at that price I prefer it. My guess is it is a major manufactures relabeled bar and chain oil.
I have a CS330t , no powerhouse by any means but I've got no complaints , I had bought it for 275$ nib
The MS241 will do most of the wood I'll see in my scrounging area , an 026 will fit as well , I had a 346xp but couldn't get warmed up to it , I'd give a 550 or 555 a go but the price up here is too high .

I consider echo to be quality equipment. That craftsman ain't a pro saw either but I like it, it just needs too much (bar stud stripped, oiler squirts out everywhere except where it should, chain tensioner broke through the cover....) lol more effort than I wanna spend on a $30 saw
That 555 looks bada$$ but I'm afraid id like it so much I'd wanna chuck my 365. Lol. When my poulan 5020 gives up the ghost, I'll replace it with a 260 or 346 or an echo.
That $6/Gallon bar oil is as good as any I have used, very sticky stuff, and never had any problems with bar/chain wear when using it. It is all I use for bar oil. (And I'm sure my ported 460/046s put more stress on B&C than the average saw).
Thanks guys.
I have this tendency to use a saw for a few months(maybe and then send them down the road. The one thing I can a say is that I use name brand
2-stroke oil and bar oil. Not sure if it would have much of an effect on resale, but I won't say it unless it's true. That being said if the "guys on the internet" say it's just as good, why not make a couple extra bucks on each saw
.
I was using the $6 cam2 brand bar oil and it was nice and "slingy" in winter temps.
