40:1 in everything for me, no fancy oil, just TSC brand and super unleaded

 

[Boomer 87]

I started out at 50:1, then went to 40:1 bc of all the old saws i have. Then i bought the mill and made up some 32:1 now i run em all at 32:1 on synthetic and 100LL

6 ounce to the gallon on my old outboards-my old saws I run at least what the manufacture calls for-like to see a little smoke--no problems-David--if piston/cyl a little rough they may get my antique mix-rich--putt-putt-putt-putt they go!!

Someone on my local Craigslist has a homelite xl-925 not running for sale. They want $225. I think that price is rediculous.

I gave 200 for mine and it ran, was rebuilt within the last 10 years and looks like this:

You and those ridiculously lucky prices!

Hmmm Those yellow ones look like they might be flippers... I don't suppose anyone would like some yellow and black saws would they?

Oh man, was just on CL yesterday and someone thought that they were going to get $50 apiece for some crooked walnut that couldn't have been anymore than 10-12 inches diameter @ 5-6ft long. Maybe $50 for the whole lot, certainly not apiece.

If you let them get big enough, there is some serious money to be made stabbing out black walnut.

Yea I know, I have made money on it in the past. I burn the twisted broken junk that people think there is money in...

Ahh ok, that makes a lot more sense lol, it's even more valuable down here in the south because black walnut is bad about getting heart rot in our warm and humid climate.

 

[Jackofall]

not up here in the finger lakes region... it is actually annoying because nothing except poison ivy and wild rose bushes grow near it rendering your land useless...

 

[Jackofall]

this is killing me... Here I have a new to me Echo 451VL just dying to be in the wood and I'm stuck in front of a computer with no signs of being free to cut this weekend... Some days I wish I could just cut for a living...

Walnuts taste good, but not as good as hickory nuts.
