Added two new Orange tools recently!!

Both Stihl though - FS250 Brushcutter and MS260 Pro Chainsaw.

Posting here to get ideas on the best way to transport them on the 3320. May just build a wooden platform for the carry all. Guess there is always the bucket approach.

Anyone else get creative to carry out tools that do not fit in a work box?

I have that FS250 myself. It is seriously a powerful cutter. I had to go out and buy safety gear after I got my lip busted open from a small pebble. Also have a MS460 chain saw. I usually just carry them in the bucket.

Funny story. I was out gitten-er-done one Saturday and forgot about the chain saw in the bucket, picked up a load of debris and then dumped it on the trash pile. Out rolls my 460 completely engulfed in dust, sand, and rocks. No lasting harm done, just felt really stupid.

I have an 026Pro thgat I have abused for years. I LOVE it. I am currently milling lumber with it and very happy.

One caution about bucket transport. It HAS happened where a user forget about the tools up there and used the bucket for some rediculous use like scooping up rocks (what do people think that thing is FOR anyway?)

So, while I usually stash mine in the bucket, I think will get a rear or side carrier for mine!

Have fun, that Stihl stuff is great.

What mill are you using with your 026 pro?? What size bar????

To star, I got a Logosol Timberjig. It is one of those that bolt on the saw and then it quides the saw through the log. I wanted to see if milling was at all practical before sinking real change into it. My first project was a picket fence. It went really well, and I am quite pleased. I hope to get their full mill and make my own barn.

I just used a 16" bar, as the saw is supposed to be too small for this. It never missed a beat. Of course, I am only milling small diameter logs, so that really helps..

I mostly have been cuttiing sassafras. I really like working with it. I used it because my goatvermin killed a bunch of them. It turns out that sassafras is a highly rot resistant wood, besides....
