You need a boat to get to the best beach, but that`s our secret!

Yeah. Ring locust to kill it.
Drop it in 2-3 years and the bark falls off and so do most of the small branches.

No green and no waiting!!!

 

[scallywag]

Yup!

Years ago, before our state government in their wisdom, closed all of our rural rail system, there was a set of stock yards about every 15 to 20 miles along the line, each set of yards had these Locust trees planted in and around them, Its the only place I can recall seeing these trees in Oz...........Regardless, its all gone now, trees, yards, rail, jobs, the lot!

Well you always wanted one so good for you.
I made a deal for a new FS56 today from Hertz, not all that bad a price right now.

 

[dancan]

I've got plenty of real good saws Jerry , just never had a new saw LOL

 

[dancan]

As far as pricing , I think that now is the time to buy if needed , inventory is from when our dollar was good , I can see schitt going up in price with new inventory being bought with our low dollar , might not be much on a 4$ item but big on a 40k$ purchase .

Getting an early start at the camp,

Nothing wrong at all to want/have a new saw, you use them plenty so having a new one is not like owning a saw that won`t be used, it will.
