My Poulan is like that: with no vibration dampener I wouldn't want to run it very long. I only paid 100 bucks for it new though, and it's good enough for what I want it for; something to throw into the back of the truck in case there's a tree across the road. It get rained and snowed on, and if somebody steals it I'm not out the price of my good saw.

Sounds like a well purposed saw when living in rural ME, by the looks of things around my area Lucas Tree and Asplundh tree service still needs all the help they can get, and who the heck can pronounce that name anyways, sounds Swedish or something.

With a name like that, I bet there's Preparation H in every glov box!! lol

FWIW...The 'H' is silent...so it's pronounced the way it's spelled...

Asplundh is Asplund<<<<well that makes a little more sense, probably come from someone that spent to much time in pool water...........:laughing::laughing::laughing:

I ran a mid 70s McCulloch chainsaw back then for 15 minutes, it was practically brand new but my hands was tingling for 5 minutes afterwords, the guy wanted to sell it to me but I already had my first new Husqvarna, L65, so I said nah.

Was it one of these? This is the last of the Big Macs, from the mid-70s. A SuperPro 125c, the pinnacle of McCulloch chainsaws. I converted it to electronic ignition, and then it would really cut.

Both Stihl and Husky were doing better at building chainsaws by that time, IMO.

How much did you bet, I measured and only come up with 319 cu feet, I want a sec opinion, I heard that..............

Well if you have to know, I bet a dollar seventy three!

I wasn't impressed with California Storm solid Chestnut Brown stain.

I'll either go with white like my armory, or grey like the cabana.. I forget, what color is your cabana?

And I wouldn't use anything with Kalifornia in the name! Or uglyrado!!

Yes that could explain a lot with all that nice sunshiny weather you seem to be getting, that's why I always keep a wood stretcher on hand. I'm in a wet cold April but according to the latest weather it's only going to last 6 more days.

Supposed to be 80 today... again..

Probably going to take this guy out!

We don't all measure wood the way that he does, by my calculations 4x4x20 would be 2 1/2 cords.

Are you measuring the trailer or the stacks? We usually figured a loose thrown volume has roughly 2/3 as much would as the same volume neatly stacked. Though that is for split wood. I've not paid much attention to how much thrown-in large rounds amount to when finally split and stacked.

I'm not sure if that was it or not, quite awhile ago but funny I still remember the vibration after only a few min of use, maybe there was something wrong with just that saw they probably didn't vibrate at all.

Back in the 60s and 70s the two main saws around my area was Homelite and McCulloch, (Stihl?)<<what is that oh you mean steel yeah we sell that. But in the mid 70s the Partner and Husqvarna virus showed up and big time, along with Jonsered short time after. Two more US companies that dropped the ball in chainsaw improvements, but the Partner started spiraling down fast in the early 80s, now I think the two main saws in my area are Husqvarna and Stihl and Jonsered sold out to the Devil, why would anyone change high quality brand name is beyond me.

My first saw in 1977 was Husqvarna L65, probably that didn't have the anti vibe protection like todays saw either.
