Okay, if this gets weird forgive me. Since I've been getting Chemo treatments I have had some weird dreams. I used to have a 70 Buick GS stage 1 with a few mods, I would go to Beach Bend raceway in Bowling green Ky a couple of times a year to run her. I had a dream a while back that I was at...

I have a 2188 that Randy built, bought it from Clint years ago. At 13,100- 13,200 rpm it will pull a 34" bar with full comp chain in oak all day long with authority ! It is my favorite felling saw for larger trees, and it has dropped many many tons of Eucalyptus . Like the name says they are...

I miss it every day. The people and the land. I'm still in shock after moving back out here. I can't leave my Mom out here not that she would move anyway. My wife has property and an old homestead in Monticello Ky. She keeps saying we'll eventually move there, I keep telling her I like...

Good morning to you. I wish I was in Tennessee, count your blessings brother.

The 620 and 501 that Mr. Randy ported for me are my most used saws. He made very good saws great. They run like scalded dogs and are as reliable as any saw I've seen. They really are a great value.

Hang in there sir. I was diagnosed with stage IV Colon cancer in January, two units low on blood. Urgent care Doc at VA told me I had to take an ambulance to a VA hospital many miles away. I refused has matters to attend to. The Doctor actually told us I would die if I didn't go, that pissed me...

I was in the local Stihl/Husqvarna dealer a few years back, they carry square ground chain, but didn't know it by it's name, they called it "Eagle Claw" chain. The only reason I used to go there is good prices on trade in saws and I bought a couple of NOS General roller nose bars for $12 each...

Thanks Doc. Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to all.

My 620 started acting like that out of the blue one day. It had me puzzled for a bit, I was bucking 30" sycamore and she started cutting out. In long cuts the flywheel was moving enough air to blow the plug boot out, just enough to have intermittent contact. I wound up putting a little black RTV...

Now you can have a chance for that baseline cut .

I have an old Redmax, It doesn't get near as much use as my manual saw. They are nice for certain applications, easy as hell to get pinched.

You won't regret buying a Silky, they are light ,tough and fast.
