    I was thinking I was the only one that does that :whistle: :rofl: :lol:

    It actually works fairly well, depending on the wood. :axe:

    That's like driving around with a bald tire knowing it is going to blow and waiting to get a spare after it blows. Pull over walk to tire store and then get spare , walk back to truck and put on new tire.
    Out in the woods splitting ; break handle, stop work go to store and get Isocore then back to finish splitting.
    Just thought I would ask.

    Someone at my work is good friends with the kid ( Joe ) that works there so I was able to get hooked up with a good deal , granted not as good as your recent deal but much better that what other dealers are getting.
    Now it might be time to unload a couple of my other saws to make room for the newer ones. Have to sit down and figure out what I want to do.
    Catch up with you tonight , we can talk about cutting; maybe Sunday?

    Always good to have connections...especially when it comes to chain saws!
    Cant wait to see it.

    Id say 250 & 391 should go? You keep them clean so should get top dollar.

    Yeah that might be two that could go ; When I get some time to get out there I will have to do inventory and go from there.
    I need to spend some time working on getting the third function hydraulics done on the tractor for the grapple before I do anything else.
    Just been too busy to get much done out there.

    I don't think I have ever seen a person's nose grow from reading something typed.

    It didnt! Broke rather easily after a few hits, then many more to get it apart. IMG_0578.JPG IMG_0579.JPG

    Have you tried the tire trick? Put a tire on a huge round, set your round inside and swing away! Keeps it from falling over.

    I have my wood cutting ear plugs hanging from the rearview mirror and wore them, safety glasses and ideally long sleeves. The porcelain can become shrapnel when struck.
