Who are you???

[stihlaficionado]

1. Mark

7. Check out sig

A prime example of CAD - the sig says it all. Had 3 saws when he found Arboristsite in Dec of '06, and added 4 saws in '07, and another in '08 and '09.

BEWARE the chainsaw forum, those of you who do not wish to become afflicted as Mark has been!

HeHe - just a little good natured ribbing there! There's a reason I don't list all my toys anymore. Sometimes it scares me!

Right you are! Truth be told I must also give credit to my local Stihl dealer who usually gave me a 5-10% discount, and my friend who has a huge wood lot. It's sorta tough to cut a 4 ft diameter oak w/ a Husky 55.

Early on I came to the conclusion that I wanted to own every new pro Stihl available at the time(except the 260). It was cheaper then buying a new Ford Cobra for my mid life crisis So I just went on the Stihl saw buying splurge & got it done lol.

Most of the saws I will probably give to my friend, a local arborist. I've enjoyed them, that's for sure. And in over 20 years of cutting I still have
2 arms & 2 legs lol.
