It's Real Mean and Has 72 Sharp Teeth....pic

[Dennis Peacock]

Greetings,

Nope....it's not a lathe. :eek: :rolleyes:

But it IS something that help to FEED the lathe though.:cool: ;)

Here's my new Stihl MS-361. I fired this baby up in the shop tonight after I got home and MAN!!!! Has this thing got POWER!!!!!!!:eek: :D :D

The LOML said that all the safety gear comes with the saw in her opinion, so I got the helment with hearing protection and face protection and the protective chaps. I was supposed to pick up Mark one of the helments, but they only had one in stock. Hey MARK.....you can borrow mine until next week when they get more in stock so Derek will have the protection you want him to have this weekend.

Needless to say....I'm HAPPY about my new chainsaw....so all you standing trees???? Better LOOK OUT!!!!!!!!:eek: :D

Thanks everyone for your helpful tips and advice. I'm sure happy with my purchase so far. Now.....where's that Pecan log I need to cut for Jim Becker?

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Go Dennis! Based on reports from local loggers.....you'll like that
Stihl!

[Barry Stratton]

Good for you!

I have to admit, for a moment I was jealous `cause I thought you went out and "bonked" a gator......

[Gary Herrmann]

We Gators don't like being bonked anymore than anyone else. We do heartily approve of Stihl orange tools too.

[Stu Ablett in Tokyo Japan]

Hey congrats!

Keep that chain sharp, and make sure you have some plastic wedges, and a spare chain, or two.

Cheers!

[John Hart]

Congratulations on your decision Dennis! I'll use my PoulanPro till she dies, then go your route as well.

[Gary Max]

With a Deere sitting in the back ground---life is good

[Ed Scolforo]

Congratulations, Dennis. You're gonna like that orange boy.

[George Conklin]

Great glaoat there, Dennis. It's a good day!:)

[Dennis Peacock]

Good for you!

ROFL, Barry!!!!!:D :D Naw....we don't do gators 'round these parts. We do wild hawgs though.:rolleyes: :D

[Bernie Weishapl]

Congrats on the new saw Dennis. Those tree's surely have to be shaking in there boots now.

[David Fried]

... I thought you went out and "bonked" a gator......

I was afraid it was a self description :eek:

That looks like a great tool! I need to get one someday! I bought a used one 10 years ago - an ancient Pioneer, weighed so much I could barely use it. I was amazed when you were discussing the weights of the models you were considering. They all sounded good and light.

[Jim Becker]

Nice! Congrats!

BTW, I also use my orange sawing helmet/mask/hearing "system" when running the chipper...it's not just for chain saw use! Other than regular safety glasses, which you still must wear under the mesh mask, it's a lot simpler than separates for this kind of work.

[Andy Hoyt]

Well - for now, it's okay.

But I wanna see a pic of Dennis fully suited up with all regalia.

Why? Because while I can visualize the helmet in use; it's the chaps (and whip and spurs and spikey leather armlet thingies) that have me concerned.:D

[Steve Clardy]

72 teeth. Sounds like about a 24" bar.

[George Troy Hurlburt]

A wood hoag like that means you will be cutting big logs. That also means a big heavy lathe if you don't already have one. Congradulations on your new saw. GT

[Ernie Nyvall]

Congrats Dennis. You'll love it.

[Bob Noles]

Dennis.....

You've got to stop placing this temptation before me like this :rolleyes: ;)

[Curt Fuller]

You've made me jealous. I visited Arkansas a couple years ago and from all the trees I saw I think you could probably wear that saw out before you're too old and feeble to lift it.

[Joe Mioux]

Dennis, I don't know about you but I think Stihl ought to make protective bib overalls.

I'm getting an image of you in orange bibs...:p

Congrats on the chainsaw. I love my Stihl and I know you will yours.

Congrats on the chainsaw. I love my Stihl and I know you will yours.

Joe

Joe,

I checked to see if they had protective Bibs.....Nope. Shoot....I guess I'll just have to have Blue upper Bibs and lower Orange protective chaps. Maybe I can put in a suggestion for Stihl brand Bibs.:rolleyes: :D

[Dennis Peacock]

Dennis.....

You've got to stop placing this temptation before me like this :rolleyes: ;)

Boooooooobbbbbbbb!!! You Neeeeedddddddd a new Stihl chainsaw. It'll make your turning soooo much better!!!!:p :D

[Brad Schmid]

Ahhh, well done Dennis. Chaps are a good move.
Congrats on the new saw, I don't think you'll regret choosing the 361.
Cheers
