Chainsaws - All Things Related - Brands, uses, and stories

[WarrenJ]

My wife wanted me to buy a husqvarna saw to match her sewing machine (which costs about 3 times the saw I was looking at  )

I ended up with a stihl and she was disappointed.

I think there are 3 Husqvarna sewing machines here at last count.   I'd sort of like to find a Husqvarna Motorcycle that they made in the same orange color as the saws.

There are a couple of antique farm shows around here that are having some lumberjack competitions with vintage equipment.  I'd like to do single and double bucking with my crosscuts.  I don't have a couple grand to lay out for a professional peg and raker racing saw.

That's some funny shit.

I'd love to look at their balance sheet and see what their margins are.

The sewing machines are ridiculous priced, no idea on margin.  "Basic" models around $800, and go way up from there - like $3000 I think pretty easy.

Are they 2-cycle engines?

You wouldn't believe how much time is spent discussing and arguing about what is the best saw by those who work in the woods.  It is by far the favorite topic followed by similar discussions on what brand of boots you wear. 

Nicks of course...
there really isn't any other boot

I love this direction the DMF is taking.  All this manly stuff.  Chain saws, boots, guns, survival and  pissing matches.  Damn, a place where a man can be a man and belch and fart out loud.

Pretty much everything that goes with gearheads......

except I don't own a chainsaw or work boots 

[rgramjet]

Theres also talk of cooking and cleaning to balance it out.

I'd love to stop by roush hardware (Local Do-It store) and buy myself a Stihl chainsaw tomorrow


but honestly...........I could only start it up and rev it around and scare small children at the condo pool.

I already scare the old people with my Ducati's and KLR (make the beast with two backs that two brother's pipe is loud), the chainsaw really might off one of them.


However........I have put in several requests to cut down the dead pine tree behind my condo and one in the "common area" on the side (I live on the end unit).

I suppose I could do it myself..........

but as I mentioned earlier.........I hate cutting pine.....especially when it is 90 degrees.

The sap is just awful to clean off the saw.
