    Yeah, my wife is used to me diving head first into new hobbies. At least this one can be used for something productive.

    I am looking forward to see how they cut this weekend (assuming the weather permits). They're pretty slick bars, but I see no reason to not put them to use.

    Hi all. So, I found this group after my 261 blew up. I ended up in this forum and next thing you know I’m buying saws, fancy Japanese bars and talking to modders about ports. Needless to say, here’s the damage after about a month. The bars and chains are courtesy of Mike (MG2186) and the...

    I have an echo weed wacker from probably 15 yrs ago. I've literally never done anything to it in terms of maintenance and it fires up every time after months of sitting around without use. I had a Shindawa backpack blower that was the same.

    The Echo pro saws without all the computers are particularly interesting.

    Yeah, at a minimum, it was going to need crankshaft bearings and the piston and cylinder were scored. So now I have a saw in parts and a need for something bigger/more fun.

    Yeah, but it seems cheaper than custom knives, guns and cars, so that is a plus.

    Thanks adding me to the forum. We just bought some land in western CO and I am slowly starting some fire mitigation/firewood collection on it. I stumbled into this group looking for a replacement for my Stihl 261 that somehow grenaded itself. Now I've realized there's a whole world of chainsaws...
