    Welcome home! Have a seat by the fire and take a load off. (That poor trailer is on the heavy side. Hope you didn’t have to go far) There is a PILE of info here and you can (probably have or will) spend days, weeks, months reading.

    Don’t let the saw comments get to you, you’ll have a stable full of Husky’s soon enough.

    My contribution as a full fledged enabler.

    Generally, the western UP gets colder than the east, with some exceptions, like the Soo.

    Welcome aboard Cavtrooper !!! You'll enjoy it here.
    I got a 261c last Christmas and love it. Great saw for modest users.
