I admit already, without anyone's help, or advice, that I'm already gone loony,

when it comes to chain saws, and I'm proud, to admit it.

All I know is, guess who they all come to for used saws, chains sharpened, chains made, and saws worked and parts ordered from on etc etc

Last year alone I sold just over 10K in used saws.
Yes most of them was high dollar saws though when I got out of racing. I sold and traded saws from $50 $75, $130, $350, $800, $900, $1000, $1200, $3000 (just to give a idea). From the 33cc poulan TH - 130+cc Husky.

Some people just don't understand it. Others wouldn't pick up a chainsaw and cut wood, even if their life depended on it. They don't get invited to the tree cutting parties with brew and grub though. Their loss!

Bruce Hopf · 30th January 2011, 09:37 AM

Fire wood is my only source for heating both my house, and shop. With today's oil prices, for heating oil, and the cost of hydro, on the rise, I can't afford to heat with anything else.
Sure it's a bit of work, but a bit of work never hurt anyone. Bruce.

superfire · 30th January 2011, 01:37 PM

For me I have two saw in my rig every were i go. I get a weird looks when I pull my Stihl MS 460 with a 3' bar out to cut wood

In my area people brag about 2' bars as the biggest bar needed

Been known to have saws in the house during storm season

It's kinda like a t-shirt I have, referencing Harley-Davidson motorcycles, it says "If I have to explain, you wouldn't understand" and there is one more anagram I like for it-DILLIGAF(do I look like i give a flip) Well you get the idea!

newguy18 · 5th February 2011, 04:45 PM
