You suck lol and I notice an orange handle, I hope that's an 039.

Lol! Yeah it's the ole 039. If it was a new (to me) 046, 066 surely I'd get a GFY. Lol. Crazy thing was I was literally going to buy a chainsaw mill from Hutzle this week!

Nice deal! Are you going to keep the mighty Farm boss on there or swap it out?

Put the 285 on the mill!

Well. That's a good question Wayne. The longest bar I have is 28 Stihl es. So it fits but....the 285 would certainly be a better milling saw. Also have a 79xx Smurf P&C being shipped as we speak. So probably make a bar adapter and give those a try...
But then I think as much as Alaskans want for a Stihl farm saw maybe I'll just run the crap out of the 039 and mill a bunch of lumber then sell it pho(no joking people want $300+ for a well used 029-039 290, 310 etc up here).

That would probably be the smart thing to do.

Wow!
Did you get the Husky 242xp for $100 also?
At one time many old-timers called it, "The best trimming/limbing saw ever produced!" 15,500RPM's!!!!

Needed a better jigsaw for my deck project so I text a buddy that owns a pawn shop. Got a 346 and 550 from him a while back. He says he has a Bosch JS470e for $89. I look it up and it's a powerful saw and would definetly work well for my project. Got it for $70. It was $149.99 at home depot!

 

[psuiewalsh]

Seems like the 550 could do the same work?

I prefer the 346!

I traded the 550 in a box for a MS361! More potatoe!

yup, paid 50$ for each saw.
I did not have a 339, never had one, always wanted one.
The 242 had a top end I've never had before, so far I've always got them with a Mahle, kinda good surprise that she had a Gilardoni 241B

The barrel style is too big for my hands!

I have an older model: still requires the long screwdriver to change the blades. Great saw.

Made a few test cuts with the metal blade in it and it went through the synthetic deck boards like a hot knife through butter! Very powerful and smooth! Cant wait to see it with the correct blade in it! Should make the finish cut around the pool very nice!

Forgot I had pics... the burrs in the second pic brushed right off with my hand.

Looks great Dan. The adjustable stroke angle on those can really make a difference when cutting odd materials like your deck boards.

Thanks DJ I should have brought the instruction book to work with me and read up on the features!
