    Richmond HT 6200, 62 cc, 24" bar chainsaw. Picked this up today for $150 brand new in box, last one at that price, regular price $209. Looks like a Stihl knock off, runs awesome, cuts even better. Will post a few pics later.
    Should do everything I need it to.

    62 cc and 24" bar??

    Hmmmmm. In the Stihl 036 category. :)

    Looking forward to pics.. I am gonna buy a Cheapo Blue Max tomorrow, they are 20" (doesn't state cc, but I am figuring in the 50's?) for $79.99!! I want to play around with it and bring it to the GTG in Canton this Spring. :)

    Bring a Wild thingy and let's see who wins :D

    I live next door to an Amish saw mill, so I pal on bringing multiple 5"x5"x10' boards.

    We can strap 5 tall x 5 wide (25" tall x 25" wide) and run 28" bars on the 70 cc class and the do a 3 tall x 3 wide (15" square).

    I really would like to do "Class races" . Not for bragging rights or anything. Just for fun:whistle:

    Looking on clist and seen it for $150, was only a few miles from me so I went and check it out. He had a display one and fired it up, I was sold. Also I have a Husky 16", older Craftsman 14" and a real old Pioneer 16" which all run good and do the job. I figured it was a deal for no more than I will cut stuff that big.
    And it looks like a Stihl.

    The 4 in 1 Extreme Weed Wacker (Pole saw, brush cutter, and hedge trimmer attachments also), I bought states 25:1 also and I only use 50:1 in it. No worries.

    Even most older engines that called for 25:1 or 32:1 are fine with todays 50:1 oils.

    Any pics yet? I bought a 20" Blue Max today and based on the choke, air filter, throttle stop, etc, I think that our two saws are related.

    When I bought this one today, they said they had 2 other sizes. One smaller (16") and one larger (24").

    This one runs pretty good, and for $79.99, it may save a few hours of run time on my other saws. Especially after I open it up a lil.
