    Is that the guy that brings over the clapped out Wild Thing with the rocked chain?

    That guy always asks......"Can you fix it for 10.00? I need it done by this afternoon".

    Reason I never jumped on the new band wagon is I am scared to death of how hard it will be for parts down the road. Heck I sold my TH 40cc when I seen the writing on the wall and solo parts wasnt going like it used to.

    I had run the Dolmars around that time. I wish I had bought some 681 and 372xpw when they were still available. The 681 closed out at baileys for $499o_O

    Didn't even own a saw 6 years ago.. Was just burning pellets!! At a prime age of 27 in 2008 :thumbs:

    This is my 4th heating season with the wood stove.. Although I still burn pellets as my primary heat. It's just to easy when they run on a stat and hold enough fuel for a couple days (2-3).

    Looking forward to getting this top end :dex:

    How come you pellet guys do pellets over corn burners?

    I had thought about a corn burner years ago before the prices went up on everything. One friend did do the switch from pellets to corn and he has nothing but good to say about it and said he would never go back to pellets.
