    It's a Stihl... It won't be leaving. ;) And it's a C-M. . Even more reasons to stay.

    The next saw is a 372xpw. . Then maybe a 661. :dex: That last one may not happen till after Christmas. The 372 will be Oct 13th :thumbs:

    Sorry.. None for sale Jack :dennis:

    Unless you want a non running Poulan 3400 Counter vibe?

    This...coming from a guy running two Earthquakes, an MS390, and a Husky 445? Seriously?

    Dex likes his Stihls....particularly the M-Tronics...........TODAY. Why is it such a big deal what he is line for next? I hope he DOES have his name on the list for a 661.

    Who cares what the loggers you know are running? Most of us here are not loggers. We're firewood cutters. HUGE DIFFERENCE!!

    Man, I just don't see why some people have to continue to hack on other peoples choices.

    Man I'm not hacking. I'm joking. . I only know one logger running stihl. Its a comment about how many saws he buys.

    I want to see how it measures up esp ported.

    I was more dogging the loggers. They trash abar per saw a month. Trash a chain a day. Iget the cast offs to grind back good.

    We all can cut and sharpen better than the crackheads they employ.

    But I bet he is one of the dealers best customers.

    Those saws are more of a joke..you have to know my sense of humor. Cause so many people put EVERYTHING in their sig. I havent run the husky hardly at all. The quake just briefly and one is a truck saw that like hes in a tool box??
