    I'm jealous! My wife gave me this hat, but I didn't get a new forest thrown in with it.

    I should add for all you Husky fans, that I got the pre-mix and it registered for the 5 year warranty. Something to keep in mind.

    Yes, both are 100' and I have a friend "Wood Doctor" on OPE that can make them up.

    I used to consume 1 1/2 to over 2 rolls per year.
    Now, a roll would last me a long time !

    I got a 6 pack of 2 stroke bottles and they gave me a 1 year warrantee instead of the standard 90 days.
    Cause I used my company name to get the ball rolling when I ordered the saw.
    If I hadn't, I might have got a 2 or more year warrantee.
    It's ok. I mostly do all my own saw work. It's just in case there is some major problem that is the saws/manufacturers fault.

    So far I'm fairly impressed with X Cut chain.
    Course I still miss the Oregon 75 CKX. Which was a wide kerf 3/8 chisel ground chisel bit.
    I think I'm going to get a Simington 451 C in the not too distant future.
    And a bar rail grinder. I'm old enough that I just want some things the way they were.
    I got 2 50 ga bars with the 572. Which is fine. Wish I knew a place that had a Foley BelSaw bar machine. They will grind out a 50 ga bar to 58 or 63 gauge. And do the rails.
    But I do so that's kinda that.
