He was asking $200. Looked pretty good from the pics too. I still have the ad up actually cause I figured it would go quick.

Edit: it was in Ontario too BTW

WOW!! Glad to know the 372,390,357,261,460,660's + are all junk. I guess all the years we ran them with 0 major failures are just a fluke. CJ

All the saws you list there are top notch. (well maybe not quite as top notch as dolmars:D).

Dont worry about him. Guys that say things like that, its pretty clear that they have never ran anything more than a homeowner or box-store model of either brand:confused2:

I have been meaning to try to spend more time over here w/ this crowd.
You guys got the right stuff & the goods I say!

I have a Stihl 009 (What is it called, a Mini Boss? Or a Mini Farm Boss?)


Craig, here, you can buy those Beam Saws, works good. You buy the
chainsaw parts (Prazi) and mount it up to your saw. I wanted a dedicated
beam saw so I picked up this Craftsman.

I have been wantin' a large"r" chainsaw. My Stihl dealer is tryin' to put
me into a MS362-20 , I noticed a note on the quote that said "Flush".
I assume that is a handle, well, lack of a handle on the side so a guy can
cut a stump flush to the ground ? I have not been able to find good pics
of a "Flush" handle and a, is it a "Full Wrap" handle? Well he is prob just
pushin' what he has in stock. I perfer to leave stumps 4-5' tall to use
as a lever and just dig the stumps out.

But where was I, oh, so I was
thinking about a new saw but DANG! It is $650bones? Naw...that shy'd
me away then this morning I realized some of you guys are either in the
chainsaw only biz or are enthusists and maybe a guy could think about
buying a used Sthil Chainsaw for a song, maybe a song and a dance! :D
For now I think I pefer to stick to Stihl. So sumthin' for maybe a couple-few
of you guys to think abouts. I can't do it right away, but need to be thinkin' bout it anywho...

Hey is there anything wrong w/ carrying my 009 like pictured below? I built that
holder and didn't ask first, I kinda doubt it but nothing like askin pro's...

Now I need to figure up a cool way to carry some mix-gas as well.

I plunged cut a slot thru a piece of scrap 4x6 just to see if I could do it
and schzam! I did such a good job I decided to keep it and use it so off
I went w/ a lil wood putty here and there and some black paint and I
welded up a hanger ring and simply lag bolted it from below thru an
existing hole in the deck, works well...

(I Hope I don't hijak the OP's thread w/ my junk ramblin's! :eek:
Curious how you made your saw bracket for the bx? does it wedge in between that space or bolt?
i really like that setup I have a b and think that is a great place to mount a saw. its more protected this way.

It is made from a piece of .375 x 1.0" flat bar and a piece of .125 x 4" flat bar that is 2" long.
Cut 4 pieces of the one and one piece of the 4 and welded it up then groud it nice.

Yes it just slips over the FEL support THEN there is a lag bolt pointing up
screwed in from below the deck thru that hole w/ an orange sticker on it.
