WTF, I mean I know people are damn stupid. but this shit ? I have a chainsaw and I heat with wood. it a good even nice heat. quiet too. the oil burner/noise box on the other hand is loud always on every 30 minutes and runs for 10 minutes. I can't stand the damn noise. so . I heat the house with wood. I have a chainsaw too. a Husqvrana, 18 inch blade. runs very well when I can get the damn thing started. no. really. with my back. if it doesn't start by the 4-5 pull I am done. back is yelling at me. last time , my neighbor got it started on the 3 pull and I cut wood for the next 2 hours. that sucks. the snow blower is electric start. I plug it in and press the button. it works. why can't they make something for chainsaws like that ? too old, too fucked up. but that above is beyond stupid as we used to say. dave in pa.
An electric chainsaw. It doesn't have NEARLY the power, but you never have to pull it at all. I found that the reduced maintenance and ease of use was well worth the power drop. Depending on what sort of wood you're dealing with, it might be for you too.
Of course, I was dealing with slab from the local lumber mill, which meant I never had to split it either. Nice stuff if you can find it.

I'm visualising a little cart with a car battery, a push button switch and a starter motor from a motorbike. Some kind of link in place of the pull start and some kind of cradle that the saw fits into while you start it.
And this year's Darwin award goes to those two morons: the sitting guy for getting a cool caesarean section and the chainsaw guy for getting offed by the other guy's family... Einstein was right: the only infinite thing in existence is human stupidity!
Second that. Most of the wood is already cut and they didn't do it like that. Just bought a Stihl 880. Slices 2 foot beech like baloney. Uses a shitload of gas, really fast.
That must be the modern version of the old 090. I used to call them the Harley Davidson of chain saws. The loaderman at one of the mills here used to pick up extra money on Saturdays ripping logs that were too big for the head rig, using an 090 with a rip chain. That thing even sounded like a Harley Davidson.
Last I checked that biggest Stihl cost just under two grand.
At least she’s wearing gloves.

I've been cutting trees n firewood n lumber for fifty years. I had a lot of saws. Get a Stihl.
DeleteAhhh, the old Stihl-Husqvarna debate. It's almost as old and opinionated as the Ford-Chevy debate.
DeleteThey're both fine products.
Full disclosure: I'm a Stihl man myself, although I do enjoy saying "Hoosk-var-na".

DeletePlease, that must be a joke for the camera.
ReplyDeleteEven I know better than that.
“Where bad choices make good stories” in one picture. Whole lotta NO right there.

I think these two are just screwing with us. I can appreciate that.
