Ported Stihl 036 Pro

Husky rules the roost...... but there sure were some nice other brand saws at the GTG, both old and new.

damm fine membership we have here. Lot of genuinely good people.

 

I am a member at forestry forum. There mostly for forestry stuff. Been a member there for 10 years. There not so big on the saw stuff as say even the Hearth. Guys that know their stuff there but not as busy and deffinitly not the same attitude. But maybe I have not spent sniff time in the saw forum or its been too many years.

 

Maybe it's best to interpret StihlHead's comment as a reflection of anxiety about what could go wrong here, rather than a nasty accusation, and cut a guy some slack. We can't all be at our best all the time.

 

Yeah, it wasn't great, but I think it's often better to simply delete or ignore or address stuff like that privately than to whack it back publicly like a pingpong ball.

 

Nah, the hot rodders just have no lives.

Ya gotta admit plain old saws that just work and do what they are supposed to do are kinda boring.

Be thankful they're not also posting pics of themselves wearing nothing but thongs, proudly handling their name-brand ported tool(s).

 

Those who are around me very long figure out that I have a special weakness for saws that are old,loud, preferably huge & yellow in that order.But I don't discriminate against other smaller newer colors that are in mine or other's stables either.If a saw starts easily in all temps/weather conditions,does what its supposed to do & is always reliable - that's what matters most IMO.



Am still waiting/wishing/saving for a Mac 125C with the 101B kart engine however - 15 HP & 12,000RPM's over my bone stock restored one - 10-12HP & 10,000RPM. Just haven't had the fat wad of cash it takes for one,when one finally appears up for sale.

 

I was just asking a question, and making a generalized statement about what I see on this forum and the web of late. I was not targeting anyone specifically. Nor was I having a, "bad day". I find it amusing that so many of the, "great group of people" are only too happy and fast to read in all kinds of stuff and pile on and bash my post in response though. Which is also rather typical of forums on the web in general. Gang mentality. To those that replied otherwise I am not referring to y'all.

Do not worry, I am not planning on posting here much, if at all in future. I left this site for specific reasons that I posted to you and they have not changed.

 

I think this site is easy going. As with any group of people, there will always be some ideas that are pushed and accepted, but most people are mellow and give others a chance on here.
