Just put a Husky 346xp on layaway. The 372 kicks my butt after debarking 2-3 logs with the log wizard. It'll be nice being able to cut back set up time with the mill attachments with a second saw. I can use the 346 with my mini mill for making square cuts on logs for beams. Husky had a good deal on a case, extra chain and gloves as well.

 

Should I just create you a chainsaw section on the MIDTR forums?? Would that make you happy?? ;D

 

Cool idea Tony. I have a 45 horsepower 1950 Homelite I bought at a sale. It has a kick starter on it and will make a man out of you or kill you, which ever comes first. This thing must weigh 45 pounds at least.

I know one thing, it is one bad whammer jammer. It will flat eat through a tree with a good chain on it. I picked it up at a shop for $25. A guy had traded it in on a new saw and the dealer gave him $20 fot it on trade in. I saw it and liked it. He sold it to me for $25 and I've had it ever since. Set the first tree on fire that I cut with it as well as the hair on my knuckles. No exhaust, just a hole in the cylinder where the fire comes out. 8) 8)

 

I like this thread already. <br>All Husky here.<br>Just a hobbyist.<br>Big dog in this house is 262XP.<br><br>I'm happy! ;D<br>

 

Every year here in town they have what they call &quot;Logger's Sports&quot;... One of the feature events is the V8 chainsaw competitions. They have to be handled by 3 huge gorillas... They make more noise than a Huey and they tear through a 3 foot cottonwood in about 1 second!!! I wonder if they'll ever put a 5.9L CTD on there? That might be neat ;D

 

I have an old McCulloch I bought about eight years ago that does real well for all I use it. Lots of the loggers around here are into Stihl.

 

The weapon of choice for me has been the Husky 394. ;D ;D<br>It's heavy,loud,and has had up to a 36&quot; bar on it.<br>For smaller work around the house or when climbing, I use the Husky 262. <br>Also I think that the chainsaw thread is a good idea 8) 8)

 

I've got Stihls. Used to be a Mac fan until they shut down. Still got the scars on the right arm after the old 10-10 decided to get rid of her roller bearings. Looks like I took a load of #6's from close range. One thing I can say, when she decided to die, it was in a spectacular fashion. Nice ball of fire and lots of hot metal. Top would have had a bad case of hormonal imbalance.<br>The only thing I wish I had for my saws was a chain that would eat nails and blackjack oak without resharpening.<br><br>shortround out

No troub shortround.....Rapco Carbide Chain. This is one MANLY saw chain, but take a deep breath before pricing one. They average about a buck-and-a-half per link.
