Cuttin' Fire Wood

I will not bash anyones choice of saw.
Here it is either Stihl or Husq. When you depend on a saw day in and day out they have held up the best in the big timber here. Like I stated earlier I have a 30+ yo stihl 075 AV just needs a freshen up and it will be good to go again (if you want to man handle a saw).
Husq. are lighter but Stihl are just as common.

Stihl is a great saw if you make your livin cuttin wood, but it's a little pricey for the small guy just cuttin enough to heat his house with. I like the Husqivarna's myself. For the money they are a nice saw.
I always had problems when I drained the fuel tanks on small engines before storage for the year. Now a days I fill the tank and add the stabilizer to it. When I left em drained it always seemd like the floats would stick and seals dried out come the next season.
And the easy way to figure a cord of wood is to think of it as a pickup truck load.
Don't know if anybody has used them or not, but I think my next stove is gonna be soap stone stove I keep seein advertised. http://www.woodstove.com/

The Home Depot/hardware store Huskys are a different lineup than the professional grade saws, and are cheaper due to material cost cutting. Least thats the propaganda around here. LOL
A 034 Stihl that's from the mid/late 1990s will cost you around $175 and will run another 25 years. I have two and pound the shiznit outta them and they keep going & going & going....
Huskys just aren't my cup of tea, never have been.
