Stihl Gloat

[Christopher K. Hartley]

Well the Poulan finally gave up the ghost.:eek: Now, it served it's purpose and I have no complaints about it's performance. This $99.00 saw had a pretty heavy work-out. But, without doing a rebuild it will probably lie in scrap. It needs a few things including a piston ring so I may not get to it for a while. Now the guy at the local Stihl store made me a deal I couldn't refuse and what a dream. Now I know what you guys mean about these bad boys!! It's a MS260 Pro with a 20" bar. The LOML said go for it and she gets a big Hug and an expedited "Honey Do list" for this one.:D :D

[Dennis Peacock]

Woooooo-Weeeeee!!!!! That's a NICE saw you got there Chris!!!!!! :D

I have the MS361 Pro and all I have to say is...hang on when you pull the trigger. :cool:

Congrats on the new chainsaw!!! :D

There is no more beautiful moment in a womans life than the moment right after she utters the words 'Honey go buy yourself a Stihl'. I remember the day (July 3, 2002) I heard those words and saw true beauty.

Congrats, You'll like it.

A lot of loggers out here swear by Stihl and Husky's! It should serve you well.

[John Shuk]

You are gonna love that saw.
Keep it sharp and happy wood hunting.

Frank.........I would highly recommend that you don't repeat that to your wife while she's reaching for a frying pan!


BTW........I talked with my wife....Friday Dec.29 would probably work out best for me. Will you be available for a Creeker visit then?

[Tyler Howell]

Love My Bad boy
Great machine.
Congrats

[Jim Becker]

Yum! Good choice!!

[Pat Doble]

I love my MS270C. Great saw - no problems. This reminds me - I've got some chain sharpening to do...
Enjoy your new Stihl.

Thanks guys, next time I go out with Ernie we'll have matching colors.:D

[Ernie Nyvall]

Thanks guys, next time I go out with Ernie we'll have matching colors.:D

Yes, and now we'll have to coordinate what we will wear.:eek:

Great choice Chris. Congrats. I now have my eyes on a 5' diameter mesquite tree west of Waco. A guy told me I could have it a couple of years ago. With that size though, if it doesn't have wind shake (unlikely), it might be worth renting a portable sawmill for the first 10' of trunk. The limbs on that thing are supposed to be big enough to max out my PM. With the way those things grow, it's bound to have 20-30 good crotches in it.

Sounds like the Orange and White "Bad Boys" have their work cut out for them.:eek: :D
