So I went to clear a big tree from the trail. It was about 18" in diameter. It was in a crappy corner so it was a pain in the ass to ride and might have been impossible for most riders. Anyhow, we cut to the chase. I borrowed a Stihl 025 chainsaw to go cut this up. Went out in the mud since it won't stop raining and fired the saw up after a bit of trying. It ran so weak it took several minutes to cut a 4" limb. I screwed with the saw for an hour. Really pissed off the wife and I headed home. Unfortunately we have a credit card and I am somewhat spontaneous so we did a little research and headed to Lowe's for a chainsaw. $471 later, I own this. I did buy a case for $30 and a 3 year service plan for $40. I usually don't buy into that, but indeed have had my fill of trying to get a chainsaw to run. If you need a tree cut, call me. Here she is -

What problem? I want to know what to look forward to. I was so pissed at Kevin's chainsaw yesterday. I was constructing complete sentences with only cuss words.

Cool, I have some trees in the yard in need of trimming.

I got me a Poulan, it was only a few hundred $'s. I only keep it at my Tahoe place anyways, but it works well

Huskys are great chainsaws

the flip lock that locks the saw if the chain comes off, the big lever in front of your hand, jumped its mechanism so right now im just running without it. i need to get it fixed, but one thingyou must understand is i have worked the hell out of this saw. still runs strong as the day i bought it.

So it's really a safety thing.

Agreed. Nice it's not rendered useless though.
