Stihl vs Husqvarna...

Nice. I look forward to what you think as well. Feel free to do that here if you wish.

 

Fixing to head out on our 40 mile rail trail ride that she requested we do for our special day. Out to Dinner later. Anyway, these are the lesser saws mentioned above. The Homelite and the Sachs Dolmar already have new homes, just need to get them there.


The earthquake is meant to test oil at 200:1 on but the oiler is broken. Looking for another cheap one to rob. Same as Ryobi and other similar saws. I plan on porting the echo cs440 and poulan pro durachrome saw before selling. The 194 fell 40 feet from a bucket truck. It needs a complete chassis, rear handle and pull start housing. I have a source for used parts, otherwise, $260 for them new. Nope. Not doing that. Green poulan already is ported but it runs erraticly. I'll probably end up giving it away or using it for cutting in the dirt or in pines.

 

I'll trade the green ported poulan for a 4 stroke saw brad.

 

Will do. I just had a revelation. I'm 66 yrs old. I have owned many saws in my lifetime, but this will be my first "new" saw. All the others have been hand me downs or purchased or bartered "used". Now I'm really excited.

Welp.... CAD won out... just ordered the redmax.

Planning to murder a bunch of cedars with it, hopefully.

Now I'll have to go out to the saw shed and see what I can sell to make up for the purchase...

 

The guy looking for the 241 is a member here too. Same user name.

 

Congratulations.

 

You better take a saw with you in case there are trees & stuff on the trail….

 

Yes I do, thinking nice cabin (WI) saw.

 

Where in Oklahoma? I'm up at Grand Lake.

Stigler (Brooken) Lake Eufaula near the dam.

 

Very cool

 

Sorry about that. Lol

 

There has been before. Taking a break at the 13 mile marker.

 

25 miles in getting a snack... its almost a 50 mile ride, not 40.

 

Not bad for our first real ride in 6 months.

 

So for those that have just ordered a GZ4350 / 543xp, or anyone else interested, this is a stock, not broken in 543 making its first cuts.

 

This is after Kevin ported it and still not broken in.

 

Holy crap! Can't wait to see it after it's broken in.

This is my MS241 after Kevin ported it.
