    Bought a new MS261 back in January and today a MMWS MS462 showed up(thanks edwad). This should keep me happy for a while! The 261 has been great and getting stronger with each tank. The 462 is going to be fun, ran the calibration on it and played around with it a little bit cutting cookies. The 462 is going to cut circles around my 361.

    Always more than pleased with anything Randy has done for me. He’s a talented guy who really cares about customer satisfaction & he’s not afraid to go the extra mile for them. He certainly hasn’t let his success go to his head.:yes:

    Picked up this Cherry for a tree service last weekend. Cut it to length and stacked it today so it’s more organized come splitting time. Still have a big pile of oak to deal with from the same tree service.

    Neighbor of a buddy from work had the oak cut down and asked if I wanted the wood, of course I said yes. When I was picking that up the tree service was still working in the neighborhood and asked if I wanted a cherry and some oak trimmings. Obviously I said yes, ended up with two full trailer loads and 3 pick up truck loads.

    Maybe the beginning of an abusive relationship. :rofl: :lol: I’ve dealt tree services before, they can overload you quickly.

    Here tree services keep it and sell it; 20% of population burns wood. Tree services use it to
    Keep workers busy in slow periods.
