    Sweet truck! I like the looks of the Colorado. Bonus for not being grey, white or black!

    No, I'm selling it to a buddy of mine this weekend. I bought myself a 2009 Ford Focus as a daily commuter car (I'm putting a new clutch & slave cylinder in it now) and will use this new truck sparingly. Got to keep this truck nice as it was originally my late mother in law's.

    I own a Husky 338 top handle but never used it. Took in trade. I do have a Jonsered 2166 powerhead for sale on FBM. Does that count? I've never used it.

    Id be interested in a Husqvarna 564...the new fuel injected model. Maybe a decent used 346 as everyone raves about those.

    I looked real hard at the 620s. I seem to remember a goofy drive link count. Please consider when sourcing a new bar.

    Agreed!
    Go to the Walmart, there's 497 cars in the parking lot, 3 of them are something other than grey, white, or black!
    Now, that said, I do own 2 white Honda's, BUT, it's only because Honda's color choices suck! You can get bland, bland, or bland!

    At least white doesn't show the dirt too bad...and looks classy when shined up.
    Rant over...

    Yup! If mfg even offer colors they charge thousands for it. Few are willing to pay. I flew into San Diego the other day and coming in to land you go over many parking lots. You really notice the few cars that aren't black, white or grey!

    Ii have a mix of saws and it sure pizzes you off when you realize that you brought the chains for the other brand with you.

    I managed to get most all of mine into either .325x72 or .375x72 or 84. I have one bar that takes .058 making it an oddball in my world of .050. Have to hang it's chain in a special spot so it doesn't get confused with others. Bar in question is an OEM labeled bar, so I have not wanted to discard it to streamline. I keep 16" stuff for my 50cc units also, but hardly ever use it.

    This is one of my reasons to not start buying other brands. I finally came up with a way to KISS. 20' bar on bigger saws and 16 on 50cc. I have longer and shorter bars with duplicate chains.

    Ill put them in ziploc baggies in the tool box that goes to the cut. If taking a 25/28" I'll make sure I have the extras too.
