Well boys, I pulled the trigger. Talk about a Frankenstein saw. Jonsered power head, Husqvarna clutch cover and a Sugihara bar. Any offers??[ATTACH]
[ATTACH] now there’s a choppin block with a view. Madeline Island WI Lake Superior.
And I think I might try a semi-chisel. I’ve only used full chisel. I’ve got access to a good supply of ironwood. I love burning the stuff, burns...
And now that you’ve all convinced me to spend my children’s meager inheritance on a new bar, how about chains? I have only used Oregon chains. Any...
So the current bar on my Jonsered 2149 turbo is 16” .325 pitch .058 gauge 66dl. Looks like Sugihara makes that pitch in either .050 or .063 but...
That settles it. I want to be somebody! I’m going to go with a Sugihara. Who cares if the bar will be worth more than the saw?
The bar is on a Jonsered 2149. It's an old bar, maybe the original. It was passed down to me. I file down the burrs on it and all that, but it...
So I need a new bar. Is it worth ponying up a few extra bucks for a “better” bar? I’m just a homeowner cutter/burner who burns maybe 2 cords a...
Totally agree Noth. I'd let it win and live to split another day.
Well, if you can't split it looks like you'll be able to recycle it with all that metal in it!
Now that's a fire! Reminds me of the time I loaded up my old mans single barrel stove in our garage with too much wood and probably creosote build...
A question from one of us who doesn't own a OWB. When you said, "as it would go straight into the OWB for me", does that mean you burn maybe not...
I haven't but may. Does the screen keep most of the dust out?
[ATTACH] I can picture me now...
Does anybody use Bugz Mesh Goggles [or any other form of mesh products] and if you do, do they keep out the majority of debris from your eyes? I...
Any opinions on a Husqvarna 460 Rancher with a 24 inch bar? Looks like I could get one for a special $499 new.
Yes, a friend of mine and I are looking for a larger saw for the odd time we need it. 90% of the time we get by just fine with what we have but he...
Yeah, I kind of knew the answer even before I posted. Nice to know what you all think about older equipment though. Thank you all for the opinions.
Looking to get a little bigger saw and a 25 inch 041 Super came available. It looks clean. I see they are heavy and this one doesn’t have a chain...
Thanks for all the advice on the 440. I snoozed and loosed. Got sold already. Must have been a good deal.
