say hello to my little friend

Just picked up a Husqvarna 136 with a 16 inch bar. Brand new-$ 269. Can't wait to use it.

Chainsaws help soo much when building.

I'm giddy…like a school girl.

eeek

thanks, i figured that since i hike the thing in for about 1/2 hour, it makes sense to buy something that is reliable, cause if it breaks, your day is shot. and it was only like 40 bucks more than a new poulan.

its their smallest saw, i think, but twice the cc of the 16 inch poulan.

can't wait to try it tomorrow.

are poulans decent saws? i have seen a few around at local stores for decent prices but im not too sure … any opinions?

i used a couple over a period of a month. i found the main problem with both of them is that they were difficult to start when you let them sit for a while. otherwise they seemed decent. although a friend of mine bought one for his business, and had nothing but trouble with it for 2 months, and ended up returning it, and buying a Husqvarna. that is what sort of scared me.

Canadian Tire has an 18 inch Poulan for 189 "the wild thing" its the same one as in digglers sig.

Would a cordless reciprocating saw work? Not for cutting 10 inch trees, but finishing the ends of rungs, etc? I don't liek chainsaws in the sense that they are loud and it makes it pretty damn obvious u r building illegal trails.

wanna come cut up some wood for me? ill be your friend

mmmmmm chainsaw mmmmmm :)

wow! seems to be a trend! DaveW will be coming up to see you more often! We did tons of work on C-buster. PD was in with his toy fixing up the log ride at the top.

Help out Wilkez if you can! He's on Lower Crippler and doesn't have easy access to a chainsaw!

Cordless tools run the batteries down pretty quick when you're working with green/damp wood. Although those new 18 or 24 volt ones are likely pretty good.

They are likely pretty expensive as well!

I have been using my 20 year old Duramark (canadian built) 16" bar for a while now. I haven't had any problems except the pull cord snapped because it was so old. just goes to show that they don't build stuff now a days like they used to.

I am off as of next Friday until the 6th of Jan. I will be working on Pangor, but I can come up and chop up some cedar for you. I don't know where Lower Crippler is, but we can meet somewhere in NV and go from there.

As for the friend thing…I'm pretty damn hard to get along with:???:

PM me and I'll give you my number.

We just put in another 40 feet of bridge over a river on the top of pangor. I'm gonna have an optional line from that one that connects to the 140 foot log we got in there now. It should be fun.

I love the smell of pre-mix though, plus we are building legally…I think.:)
