    The old adage "to each his own" comes to mind. One of the beautiful things about our forum is we all have different ways of seeing things.....modded saws ain't for everybody. I have a couple I tweaked myself but have yet to buy one done by Randy or anyone else yet, just haven't got the dough to do it yet.

    But I HAVE ran them.....and i smiled from ear to ear when I did.....

    That said, try to keep it classy guys. We try our best NOT to close threads or edit them but when things start to get personal, well you have to understand we gotta do what we gotta do. We ain't perfect either, but just so you all know we do all of this stuff here VOLUNTARILY. And as an admin or a moderator, it gets hectic. So help us help you by being critical of your own postings........this site is for YOU guys.

    Ported saws are a fad. And the Echo timber wolf is awesome.











    Tension breaker... Had to be done. :)

    Lol love mine but it ain't a hot saw! It's a great firewood saw though and cuts better than my 034 super did.

    Really liking mine too. I'm a little surprised that it out cuts an 034 super, but not stunned. Dollar for dollar the Timberwolf is a tough competitor. Its definitely head and shoulders above a Farm Boss.

    Some may not like it I personally laugh everytime I read the "362 is awesome."

    I also have a different sense of humor than most and find odder things funny that most dont. Take the comment at face value, just a guy on here who snatches up every crackhead stolen saw (posted on CL) in the state of maine and posts it here!! When you look at it as just another guy posting something, then inserting a total random comment in their or ties the comment in, that to me is funny:banana:. Just like I like the dancing banana and these as well:rootintootin::ups::dancer::vulture:, I find them funny. :)

    I have 2 "discounted" ported saws done by the master himself. No, Randy doesn't offer discounts for ugly folks, I bought them both secondhand.

    I never had the privilege of running one first, but knew I wanted to. I jumped when the price and opportunity were right, with zero regrets.

    I will flip saws in my spare time, or fix for my buds for a case of beer. This eventually will make me even on those investments.

    I will run those ported puppies with enjoyment that I can't put a price tag on.

    This is one of those things I spoil myself with, but heating with wood allows me to invest in a hobby that pays me. I can't take it to my grave and we really don't live a fancy life. A couple hundred bucks to make my "2nd job" more enjoyable is well worth it TO ME.

    At this point I'm more of a fence for the crackheads. They know if they steal a saw I'm always good for $20.

    The ms362 is not awesome. I realize that now. I'll do my best to stop the movement. But it might be too late; I think it's going to go viral.

    I have heard the solo 665 is a factory hot rod saw!!

    Also a random funny thought. That video with the hornet nest in the background where Dex keeps looking at it. I forget who it was that said "that guy must have a serious twitch" then he saw the hornet nest comment !! Haha.

    Finally. Someone who knows what they are saying.. :D




    Count the times I said it in a demeaning manor? Once. . Once and that was last night.

    Maybe you need to take your own advice? I only see you being the one with the problem? No one else puts anyone down for buying a new saw and seeing fit what they do with it?


    Your comments, concerns, and cracks are only funny to you. The 362 has ran its course. Its gone. Get over it

    So Randy I know you have ported some Poulan 3750's. So what kind of gains did you get and are they worth the effort to do. Now give me the straight deal here.

    Welcome mag craft.
