    My slowest is a Wild Thing......but it used to be my only.
    I cut 10 cords of Red Oak with it in Feb '12 :headbang:and decided it was time for a bigger saw.

    That saw runs even better than it looks. One of the fastest 50cc saws I've ever ran.

    That being the slowest saw, is a very good problem to have :dex:

    Nice chatting on the phone with you the other day. We will definitely have to do a little GTG soon.

    True story. I ran it a few times at the gtg. Took my shoes off when I got home, and couldn't find my socks.

    Just check your saws for all YOUR own parts. Mine came back with different head on it. If your going to talk good you also have to have the bad feedback. He is a THIEF in my book twice even in the same month! Just so you know.

    I will only tell all in PM's or emails. Just so other folks know what could happen. He admitted it finally on SH site when we had him in a thread on all his BS.
