Thanks To The Saw Freaks

[sachsmo]

Hope you guys are proud of yourselves, I started trolling this site Thanksgiving weekend. My old Homey 23av was getting pretty tired and I was tired of working on it every time out. So I says to myself, self you have been a good boy this year and deserve a real saw. Sooo I read up on what would be the best bang for my buck. I have a great Stihl dealer,(an old Amish chap) he knows his stuff and the prices are a good 10% under retail. The MS 361 was my choice, but with a spare chain and tax, we were pushing $600 out the door.

Sooo I research some more and see that the Husqvarna 359 is a good pro type saw, and with some muffler modding will run with or outrun the 361. I look over the net and find, new E-tech 20" pro bar and 3 chains 439.50 to my door. I'm a genius, order the saw, couple days later a new non-cat muffler, and a new sprocket drum for the old Homey. Come on UPS, well the parts supplier called and said too bad about the Homelite parts they don't carry them anymore. No big deal got the sprocket from Gardner. The Huskey got here Tuesday, all looks good (even got a free hat and teeshirt) Put the bar and chain on and put it under the tree. Now I'm waiting on the muffler, aint even going to put fuel in it till I mod the no-cat and pop the limiters off.

Sooo I'm still reading up on good saws, I says to myself self go over to e-bay,I put a respectable bid in on a MS 260 with a bunch of extra chains (this is 4 days before the Husky got here) ( Hey I've been really good I needs 2 good saws) Let's see a 260 with 16" and the 359 with 20 " I'm set.

All this time reading about the Dolmar 5100, I see Thalls impression sooo I Google up Dolmar find a dealer 7 miles from home I go over there the day after the Husky arrived. That little red devil is sweet and feather lite. We take his personal 5100 out back and he lets me take a couple swipes at a 16" log I go for the biggest knot, That saw screamed right through no problem. This guy is also an Amish and he takes old farm implements and puts steel wheels on them and re-sells them to his clan. Sooo I'm thinking about that old John Deere drill sitting in the barn. You guessed it, we cut a deal on that saw and drill.

Sooo here I sit telling anyone who can get through all this hot air, THANK YOU SAW FREAKS, you have spraed your contagious disease to me. (hope you're happy now) There is one sad sidenote to this, I just got outbid on that MS 260 on ebay. That's OK the nice Amish gent has quoted me a price of $569 for a 7900. I must be nutz

Mo way out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

$569, for a 7900? Buy 10 and sell them to all of us who don't have 7900s yet. That is a great price...you better snatch that up!

Don't feel bad Mo, nobody around here has just one saw.

Two is the minimum, if you are anything like serious about saw use!

...any saw can fail, just when you need it the most, but most people will want some power difference between the saws.......

I got addicted to chainsaws at the age of 12, running my father's 023 and his husgvarna 49. Then at 15, i bought my first saw..my 029 Farm Boss. Then my father and i got into selling alot of firewood at the time. Then we took a break for 5 years and just got wood for our house. Now this year, at the ripe ages of 60 and 21, my father and i r getting back into it. I have been cutting for years and feel very comfortable with using a chainsaw. I decided we were gonna need some bigger saws and I bought 2 044's off of ebay. They worked good for a while, but soon had problems. Thats when i was in search to see if there was an internet site that could help me decide if after market top end kits were any good? Thats when i found this site where there r ton's of people with alot of saw knowledge . I gotta say, i have been on a few message boards for dirt bikes racing and other stuff where people were total ars holes, but the people here a by far the nicest and most helpful people i have ever talk too. Now the first thing i do when i get on my computer is i go to this site and read the posts. It truly has become an addiction.

I hear there is a 12 step program for this sort of thing.

I'm well past 12 saws; what's supposed to happen next?

Nothing, absolutely nothing.. you just dwell in the void doing nothing while everything feels so empty...
