Chain Saws

[Raisinhead]

This will likely be my next chainsaw. Haven’t decided if I’ll keep the gasser too. I don’t expect it to have the same power, but for the light use that I’d need it, I think it will be great.

I decided to get one of their battery powered blowers and have been blown away by them so far. 

FIFY

I literally typed that and deleted it. Haha

I have the MS291...I couldn't get it cranked the last time I tried, so I switched to the electric chainsaw with the portable generator...not nearly as convienient, but it did work and was a lot less frustrating 

Lookin to sail that 291?

well, everything is for sail, but I wasn't intending to do so.

I would let you borrow it for a couple of weeks, since that will force you to get it cranked for me!  I imagine it's just a matter of validating spark, and maybe a few drops of fuel mix in the cylinder.

Sorry Jay beat you to it. Thanks to my finicky pressure washer I've become a pro at repairing small engines. Welcome to bring it by once we move

Wait... there's seriously a law that you cant cut down a tree on your own property?

I've got a Husqvarna 455 rancher that's been great! Plenty of power for my needs and starts amazing with little effort over the last 3 years I've owned it.

Roswell city ordinance: And I was wrong on the size. No trees over 3".

You might be able to rent something from Home Depot.

I'm just going to pretend I didn't read that and assume its the same as Brookhaven (6"). Don't tree narc on me Chuck!

Roswell doesn't allow cutting of trees, so not sure why you need a large chainsaw in the jeep. 

One of our neighbors received a fine for cutting trees down in his back yard last year. If the tree is less than 6" in diameter or is dead your ok to cut. it most likely would not have been an issue if another neighbor would not have reported him.

geez.
that place , like everywhere I suppose , has sure changed. Wife & I lived on Hillcrest in Roswell for 3-4 years and I used to cut trees for people cause I was "the dude w chainsaw" ... I remember chainsawing trees felled by hurricane Opal & that huge ce storm back in early 90s when I lived down in Inman Park, one for Bill Campbell , iirc...

reporting neighbors for chainsaw use in Georgia sounds like a lame attempt at humor. smh

lots of early morning talk about the size of wood

We took down a tree at our old house in sandy springs that way, it was obviously pretty small, but so is 3 inches (no offense @clark123456) "I was just respooling the winch and the tree uprooted"

Jay, Jay, Jay.  Battery operated yard equipment?  Really?  I'll stick with my Stihl combustion engine gear.  ;-)

Don’t worry, still keeping my stihl backpack blower for the fall. I originally picked up the makita for the kids to use on the trampoline and small jobs. Added bonus was an excuse to get 4 - 5amp batteries.
