Hey STEVEGODSEYJR, what's your favourite drink, whether alcoholic or not.

Mine is definitely beer.

Yeah, they can get those grabs for the crane booms now and just climb/cut ... really top class stuff.

MY FAV DRINK IS EITHER BUDWEISER OR WATER.....DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE I LIKE THE BEST...THANKS FOR ASKIN! I DON'T GET ON THE COMPUTER MUCH

Well, for starters take CAPS LOCK off, it feels like you are SHOUTING WHEN YOU TYPE LIKE THIS besides making it awful to read.

MS390's are a piece of junk, trade up or flog it on Ebay to some sucker, MS441 would be a wise choice, also the MS361

There's 3 saws in the Stihl line up that really suck.

ms290, 310 and 390 ... mark my words, the people who say they're great either sell them or it's one of the first saws they ever used unless they traded up from some Poulan wild thing etc.

Mangoes · 23rd May 2008, 11:03 PM

Hey Ladies and gentlemen.

I've been awol for a while, no guarantees on spending tons of time here or at the other forums over the next few months. Been busier than a one legged man at an a$$ kicking contest.

Hope everyone is well!

Eric Frei · 23rd May 2008, 11:13 PM

LOL, classic.

funarty · 24th May 2008, 03:13 PM

Flog it to some sucker!Thats not very nice Ekka!!

Eric Frei · 24th May 2008, 03:22 PM

Hey, there's some people would kill to own one, but hey, some people eat dogs meat too!

funarty · 24th May 2008, 03:27 PM

You would have to be desperate on both occasions!!!!

Wac · 24th May 2008, 09:32 PM

Just was checking out some climb gear and found ya'lls page

STEVEGODSEYJR · 25th May 2008, 12:57 PM

What kind of problems should I look for if I can't pawn this saw off on some sucker?

newguy18 · 25th May 2008, 01:46 PM

Well for starters,its a stihl.

but then again i climb with a 51 husky with a 20" bar most of the time.

Well, it doesn't really have a definitive problem. It's sort of like an old old vdub, gutless and bouncy.

It's just not a performance saw, it's made for the handyman market. Sometimes they can be right SOB's to start when hot, notice the doughy throttle response ... just like a Vdub.

STEVEGODSEYJR · 27th May 2008, 04:15 PM

I wouldn't have anything but a stihl!!! guess I need a pro model.......

I guess no one ever told you the only REAL orange chainsaw is a STIHL!!! sorry you are missing out with the "other orange saw" lol

newguy18 · 28th May 2008, 05:49 AM

No i just got tired of playing with toys.

I've had pretty bad luck with every stihl product i've owned so i'm husky loyal.

Time flies Laz, so how's things down your way? Don't be shy now.

You're too quick for a computer dope like me Ekka! Impressive welcome - thanks. Smoothest forum register ever.

So, you've had rain - thats good, seems you really needed it. Hopefully it won't be too extreme.

Good to hear about your kids - my youngest step son is doing his final high school exams and has just turned 16. So Dee and I get to go back on the mountain at weekends.

What else....we bought a cottage on a mountain with 1/2 an acre (just before mortgage market blew up - phew, a close call!).

Had new teeth after having them kicked in for talking sense on ????????.

Resigned as an instructor/assessor. 50% contracting, 50% consultancy now.

Haven't slept in 3 days cause the wind turned to a rare north easterly at 70mph - right against the patio doors of our bedroom. Been a few trees down so done some clear up today; seems one of them has a chainsaw cut and barberchair from a naughty neighbour - seems they thought the wind was a good opportunity to get rid of a council tree by 'hobbling' it a little. Maybe a case of wilful damage there.

Thats about it I think.

Hmmm.....its good to talk - nothing but sheep and rocks round here.

Got to give the fridge some attention...

funarty · 28th May 2008, 10:33 AM

I have a pair of secateurs

Eric Frei · 28th May 2008, 11:16 PM

I've been reading the news Laz and seen the damage, trees over, people even killed! Some shocking winds.

USA copped it too not long ago .... damn it! When's it our turn ... no bad shit nearly 5 years now.

Good timing on your getaway place ... enjoy.

anthad · 29th May 2008, 03:32 AM

Things are good here in southern Spain, we have had a long spell of soft rain and although the dams have not filled the `campo´ is growing well. I am trying to get some seeds for neem trees (Azadirichta indica) as we are hearing good things about them, any suggestions?

Eric Frei · 29th May 2008, 09:06 AM

I'd be planting those diesel trees too, the way fuels going.

You can run your truck on the stuff.
