    stihl ms362

    well, i bought a 362 new at my local dealership. i was going to get a dolmar, but for 50$ price difference i went with the better dealer support. makita was out of the question since there are no authorized makita service centers near me. i have to say, this saw is sweeeeeeeeeeet. i love the...

    3000 series deck hydraulics

    ive got a 3185 and the deck will not stay where i set it. it drops as im cutting. im figuring the valve is good, but the lift ram may be due for a rebuild. is this item rebuildable? or do i have to replace it? is this the likely culprit for this?

    chainsaw decision time

    im trying to decide what chainsaw to get. so far ive looked at the dolmar 5100 for 435 or so, a husky rancher 455 for 350, and a stihl ms290 for 379. i was leaning toward the ms290, but i just looked at the dolmar, which i liked alot for the money, and the 455 husky is a pretty good price too...
