I'm not going to take a grinder any where near the saw. I don't have the skills. I do like what I have seen from the 365 so far. A 395xp would be fun too. As well as a 550 or a 660 or something like that. I'm equal opportunity. I just have a mid winter itch for another saw but no real need.
I haven't really researched it, but surely husqvarna has a part number for 372 transfer port covers...
I may look into it when mine loses its poop but I can't see monkeying with something that works well.
 
You must have asked my wife how many saws I have if you think I only have 2. :chainsaw:
Although she knows I have plenty of saws I dont think she has an exact number.

I remember.
I was speaking to the saws I have heard you speak of in regards to use. Similar to the ones you have heard me speak of and use the ms441c-m and the 550xp. That being said I've heard it said you should always keep something behind the counter, in the cushion, under your pillow,......
I have lots of stuff that no one knows about, sometimes not even me, my close friends remind me of the stuff they have or that I sold and can't find, maybe I should do up an inventory sheet:surprised3:.
Besides I already made you an offer on the ones I wanted a while ago remember.
I'll give you 300 for both saws delivered to 49331 and you can keep the B&C oil.
This way you can grab up some of those deals that you have out your way:).
and like I said earlier.
I can fix the money problem and the overlap problem in one swooping move.
Send me your paypal link and ship me the saw:surprised3: my previous offer still stands:yes:
Seems we are both in the same place we were back then, you wanting more saws, and me buying more:yes:
Joking aside NA, I would say you have a great selection of the right sized saws for 95% of what you need.
If you need a 90cc saw you can do like I did 2yrs ago and go buy a nice one make 30-40 cuts and sell it or trade it off:).
I could have used it on a few since then, but it really isn't needed for what I do, and even though I love shinny things I can resist(sometimes)LOL

Did you hear that Mike he said "I can't see monkeying with something that works well".
I would say you feel a bit different especially about the monkey part LOL.
I think the 70 cc saws from both companies are some of the most all around useful, and best power to wt saws out there.

Glad you like it.
Good night guys.

I don't know if Mike (monkeys) with his own stuff or sends it out. Experience has taught me that unless it's already broken or I have two of them, to leave it the heck alone. Lol.
I would love to have a wicked screaming ported tree chewing saw but I'm scrounging wood for a reason. If I'm spending more a year on saws and equipment than it costs having cut and split wood delivered then my efforts are for nothing. Only reason I even have the 365 is I sold a saw I got cheap and came out smelling good. If I had to buy a new 70cc saw, it would take 3-4 years of firewood to pay for.
That's my take on it anyways.
 
I have done all my own work on 044 #1. HD-D Filter, DP muff cover, Timing Advance and Base Gasket Delete.

I also advanced the timing on the 362, 044 #2, and 046 before or after porting.

I don't do any porting work myself. I don't have the tools, and it is over my head.

What I can do I do, what I can't do I send out.

One saw I was going to have ported I instead traded to pay for the port work on another saw. What ever works!

FYI, the Woodpecker is back today! That old Maple Stump is the 2nd in my line of Red Neck Bird Feeders. Some of you may remember the Cooper Hawks on the Wheelbarrow with the deer parts in it I posted some time ago (that was the first one).

Sorry to hear that. It starts with an itch, then a burning rash, and soon sleep deprivation from the constant dreams. You have a bad case of CAD. Make a potion of 1 part mix, 2 parts bar oil, and 7 parts of 2-stroke smoke concentrate (say that fast 5 times). Apply liberally to the affected area and coat with a layer of wood chips. Unfortunately this is only treating the symptoms. You will sleep better, mainly because you will be sleeping alone, but also when you wake in the middle of the night there is the satisfaction of the aroma and the crunching of the chips in the plumber crack that takes you right back to the dreams. Or buy a big saw and add a shelf in the secret room. LOL
 
I clean them when I can and run the heck out of them. Then sell them for a profit or free use whichever works for what I need to do.
I bought a splitter a couple springs ago for $800 and used $25 in fuel to go get it. I sold it for $800 to which my buddy scoffed at and said I lost money.
I said if I spent $25 a yr how long would it take to pay for a splitter at $1000 new +6% tax. Mike help me out, you know how to use a calculator well right:).

I would love to have a few hopped up saws, it's a lot cheaper than the cars/bikes I've dumped tens of thousands of dollars into and gotten countless tickets with. I'm still building my business so everything is for sale unless I need it to make a buck that day, and it might even be for sale then if your pockets are deep enough. Just sold my trailer yesterday, hated to do it, but it's just a bunch of aluminum, steel and rubber.
Guys ever sell something you really liked.
Just sold my little Aluma 6.5x12 trailer. Paid $1500 + tax and title/plate and sold it for $1500.
I didn't even want to go outside, I am sick, but didn't want to get a different kind of sick.
I've hauled a lot with it and it's been an extention of me for the last 4-5yrs.
Little sick about it, but it felt like the right timing. Now to see what comes out of it, the faith part:bowdown:.
These are just a few of our hundreds of memories:cry: you will be missed little Aluma. View attachment 486499View attachment 486501View attachment 486504
Maybe I could replace it with a ported saw:chainsaw:
Well only if it was going to make me money:envy:
Does anyone need any 96-99 Suzuki GSXR parts, also have some newer fork and brake sets for doing swaps.
Will trade for a ported saw:)
 
Anyone have an opinion on a Kubota b7800 or b2910?

a 30 hp diesel tractor is nice by any standards... for most light duty farm or ranch work. considered a compact sized tractor, can do a lot of work... especially if has loader on it, too. mid sized tractors start at 92 h.p.... the Kubotoa brand and line of tractors is very popular... reliable equipment, easy to maintain... etc.
 
One of the Predecessor to the new one I'm looking at. The 2650. However I can sell my Jd and pick one of those up for little cash out of pocket.

I like the size because of the way I haul a lot of wood. Wood on front of trailer tractor on back. Loader has just over 1k at pins lift capacity, three point has 1600 I believe. I think it will do everything I need at a comparable cost to what I already have.

Also I potentially could pick one up and have some money for a zero turn.

If you can get a good deal with very little out of pocket, I like that idea, I hate debt!
Also if they are tier 3 they will have and hold their value very well.
My 2012 actually went up in value because of the new tier 4 platform.
Are those at the dealer in Charlotte.
Once you have it narrowed down to the exact model you could look around and scope out Canada as well.

It may not even be tier 3. I'm looking 2004 to 2008 at those. It's just a thought if I can get away from a higher payment.

Those are great yrs for many CUT tractors, and anything pre tier 4 will hold it's value well(CUT tractors do anyway). Not sure if you had any specific tractor/s(not models) picked out, but the hrs can be all over the map. I got mine last spring with 88hrs which is very low. A comparable L3800 is 16-18 with more hrs which is about the same as they were two yrs ago. The JD's can be even more and have better resale, but IMO are no better tractor. I think they have a better 4wd system though if I remember correctly it's more of a locker style front differential(if you ask JD I'm sure they will tell you;)).

Impressive. Quoting yourself. You are an everything is for sale kind of guy. If I have a use for a tool that does its job I am not selling it unless what I am selling it for lets me replace it with a better tool. I will sell something if I have duplicates. Don't you have more than one trailer? I see no problem selling one of two trailers but it makes not sense to sell both trailers. Especially for a firewood scrounger. As for the splitter. I used to rent one at $50 a day. That sucked the big one. I split 20 some cords of wood over 2 days with a buddy and a rented splitter almost 2 years ago. That November I bought a splitter new for less than $800. And although it may take 8 years a $100 a year to break even, the convenience of splitting when I have time has already paid for itself. Different mentalities. But then again I use my mind at work to make the $$ so I can spend it on tools and toys. I don't need my tools, saws, trailer, and splitter to make me money so they are safe unless someone wants to grossly overpay for them.
