Just another junk chainsaw

Just got 2 trimmers in after setting for 2 years owner said. Thank goodness the guy told me when I ask he uses the rec Efree 90 like I do.
Dumped checked put fresh in and all was good. FS80 and FS56RC. Efree IMO for the save after setting that long.

Farmertec G111 clone of the stihl 200T got worked pretty good for 3-4 days after storm. Just homeowner use since 2018 for my trim work needed. Cuts just like my oem 200T 35cc did.
Best 200 I ever spent after selling off my oem 200T to a tree guy up in UP.

The Echo 490 with hacked on cylinder getting it done on the bigger stuff. 20.5x18.5 was last trunk cut.

Can you say smoker wood.
Been told apple a favorite by local seller of wood I know. He claims some only want apple.
Never tried apple so will find out.

So impressed that saws would set and idle long as I wanted and if did shut off 1 pull warm starts most times.

Take care of your saws they will take care of you when needed then.

Yesterday in the basement for this one but was on ground before us a ways but coming. Wind from it still got us though.

No apple trees hurt this time. Just tops out of the big 6 maples busted out and bringing some of the limbs the tree company was going to go up to get for me. Some facia from house gone.

Least 2 is bring some 1 down with it now. the one brown was from first one and way up at top wedged in.

So time to pull out some maple now

2 in a couple weeks now.

Wow, glad you didn't suffer more damage.
Scary stuff.

Last time I checked, that is what your home owners insurance is for...

Apple is great smoker wood.

It's my second favorite. I like cherry just a little better

There you go thinking again.

I did check it. Pays up to 1000 for trees to clean up damage.

Then you lose your discount for being claim free. So in long run I would lose out $$$$

I rather clean up myself and pay the tree service the 675 for bringing them down for me like they gave me estimate for. I then will do the clean up. Still waiting on them. May not need if they keep working themselves out.

That was tornado #1. What about tornado #2 other day?
Going to keep making stupid cheap claims one could do themselves. Thats why your insurance rates get jacked up.

I rather make claims when they count.

Like this one 2006.

2 story barn 70x55 leveled 100mph winds. 69 camaro, 65 chevelle convt, 66 impala convt, 81 amc cherokee with northman snow plow inside it.

Now thats when you make a claim.

Yes me and wife did all of that clean up ourselves too.

Big one from Tor 1 came out yesterday. Big one still hung up from Tor 2 that helped knock this one around to start path down.

Just missed the wife and one of the riders with trailers. She heard it starting out and watched from front of rider backing off.

Little hacked echo 490 made short work of that one.
Son will have plenty of wood for his in town fires now.

I do that all the time. Why I stay successful in my fabrication business as well as growing forage.

Far as insurance goes, at least homeowners, up here, if you have a farm policy like we do, insurers cannot cancel you or raise your rates due to claims, but you need to be a working farm and have to prove it.

2 different states 2 different insurance company's I bet too.

Anything else you like to make wild azz guesses at.

Why do you even reply to people? All you do is troll folks from what I notice. If they dont do something your way you just go on and on. Move along IMHO.

Just my 2 cents. My local saw dealer now only carries 2 brands, Stihl and Husqvarna. He no longer sells Homelite or Ecco. When it came time to buy a new saw I thought of switching from my tried-and-true Stihl to the Husqvarna. I asked my dealer what he thought. He took me back into his shop and showed me he has over 2 to 1 Husqvarna's to Stihls. He did say the Huskies are good and cut on par to the Stihls but they don't hold up to them.

Again, just my 2 cents.

Big leader from tornado #2 that broke out is in reach now where I could get my strap looped around it.

Fun part begins. Time to break out the saws.

Called the tree company to come give me another estimate now that I have been able to get to the 2-3 ones that had me worried as they worked their way down.
Still one in tree next to it that worries me all the way at top.

Wife used a pruner blade on the 20v sawzall to get all the leafy limbs off while I was doing other stuff. Said she liked it way better for 5" under limbs then using the 20v chainsaw.

2 more cut up now.

Wife said this was the sad top that broke out.

Just to share. Was showing a guy yesterday the little plastic clamshell poulan 42cc saws. Differences in the strato and regular cranks.
Notice the longer rod on the strato one with strato piston to mark it for ya.

Also just because it says 35cc 38cc 40cc they still bore and stroke check 42cc on 220 260 and strato's..

You aint bending these rods like other makers bendable rods. Talking homeowner plastic small saws.
