The 6000i is the one I posted pics of. I did here too didnt I?

6000i Not for sale. It was a one owner traded in at the dealers for a 6400. Friend bought it from the dealer. To think I missed that one on the shelves in the trade ins and would have bought it myself. We use the same dolmar dealer.

What dealer do you use if you dont mind my asking?

 

[LD1]

No, I dont remember seeing them pics.

Nice saw none-the-less. Same as the 116si. Which is a quite impressive saw for only 60cc's. Acutally, in wood up to 15", I cant tell much difference between a 116si and 120si. But they are BOTH awesome runners.

Detterman's

Detterman's

I see. Are they a "good" dealer???

We use Wiford down here in mt. vernon, and they are excellent to deal with

As long as you deal with Mr. Detterman himself. Very nice person to deal with.

The mech tech I ran into in years past was clueless. I cant imagine him still being there though. JMO

You see the MS361 up your way. Looks to be a decient deal. I gotta work the next 10 days in a row @ 12 hours a day, otherwise I'd probabally consider looking and I'm not even a stihl guy

Stihl chainsaw ms 361

Wow, ad was posted at 9:08 this morning and it is 11:00 now and it is gone. I hope you got it:confused2:

 

[Artisan]

HA! yep! Deleted it is... What was he askin' for it?

 

[xyz123]

How much was it?

My friend didnt get the 120 down your way.

 

[LD1]

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

Yea, it looked like a sweet deal. Those bring twice that on ebay everyday

I knew it probabally wouldnt last long, but I figured it would last more than two hours:confused2:

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).

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!
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!

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.

well that is some nice work sir. i may try something like that myself if i get time.

Realized I didnt have any stock or woods ported 372's left on the shelves. Dug in the boxes and getting close on another 372.
