    I am about having enough power to cut down the trees I need and cut up my firewood I need. I don't know what a limited coil is. LOFL! But my CS 680 has plenty enough power for me at 66.8cc! I have considered getting a CS 590 Timber Wolf for my second saw. My get my big saw out of a pinch saw. LOL The Earthquake needs to go to a ........?

    Or maybe I should work my arse off and buy a CS-800P:saw:

    Just something fun about the earthquakes to me? May be its the pro saw features on a $40 saw?

    Its not like I dont have better and other saws either?

    If I am bucking anything with any size to it and I grab a quake. It does get ditched in favor of a big saw after a few slow cuts. But yard tree or limbing I love the small quake

    Then in that case I would use my dexterday special. Which means I would bolt that 32" bar onto the MS650 and go to town and have a big grin on my face as well.

    When I cut stumps I often ask myself, "Why is there not a blade for cutting dirt again?" Then I remember ...... prolly should use this instead. :picard:But I don't want to disturb the other trees roots nearby. :headbang:

    I end up with a lot of dirt in the stuff I pick up off of Craigslist, people try to sell their wood then after a couple of years lying around on the ground, collecting dirt from above and below, they decide they want it gone and then put it on for free, it is what it is.
    3 & a half years ago I had never sharpen a chain, now I have several chains and three different ways to sharpen them, and have become pretty good at all 3 because I had to.
    And I'll be dammed if I can figure out how to cut a stump close to the ground without grinding some dirt up in there:confused::hair:

    One of my trees I was told to cut up was cut by someone else as I couldn't get to it....I guess others were told to get it too? Anyway they left the last 10-22 foot of trunk. It will take that 32"er to cut it up!!! I could use the 25" but dont want to have to cut from both sides. So I will use it sometime in the next few weeks :)
