Oh You believe me I have more dreaded grass & weeds than I care to mow in a single lifetime!
We have minor night rain showers and up to 30ish°C noon temps since March.

I have mowed my yard for the 4th time on labor day Wednesday.

Fixing to force myself to trim the yard hedges a second time this year already.

I'd love to come over for a BBQ and a drink though!

 

[heimannm]

You are welcome any time, just be sure to give me a few days notice...

I've never been to Croatia but I was in Zrenjanin a couple of times a few years ago. Very interesting trips...

[Wilhelm]

Roughly and freely quoting a fellow forum member & friend:

The Croatia You have shown me is nothing like the descriptions and pictures I have seen in brochures of Tourist Agencies!

And that is the truth.
Tourist Agencies will sell You tickets for "Tourist Attractions" and these are no longer country specific due to the tourist pollution.
If You want to visit a country for the experience of it do not pick a tourist destination, simple as that.


Zrenjanin is in Serbia, You were in my neighborhood.

Anybody ever try a Husky 445? Is it comparable to the Stihl MS-250? I see it has a bit more cubes at 50cc. Couple of nice ones on Fleabay for a bit over $200 total. I'm really pleased with my little 440 so if the 445 is just a larger version with 10 more CD than I would think it to be a good one.

Decent saws. I’ve only repaired 2 and both had torn intake boots. For $200, a great value, imo.

Heavier than a 250, power's darn near the same. My dad's 445 has been a reliable tank for years, but with both of them wearing 18" .325 b/c combos my MS250 is a bit lighter. That being said, I know of 2 445's that are 15 or so years old with a good amount of use and have needed almost no maintenance outside of a filter cleaning every now and then.

Think it’s just a smaller
450 rancher

Thanks. I'm bidding on a new 450 right now on Fleabay, it's only up to $159.00 so far.

Worth that money, and they use the same clutch drum as the 450, think the 440 has a smaller or narrower drum. The 445 runs as strong as the 450, people that run both told me this.

I have a 545 MkII in the shop with a broken hand guard (brake lever). I ordered 522677501 but it does not fit...does anyone know if 591093601 is actually the correct one???

Thank you, I have one on the way.

Any particular reason other than it's a clamshell/non-pro saw? I really like my 440. I'm not a tree professional or anything, just a flunky who likes saws.

Watch for sales...I've seen them for $400, brand new.

 

[FergusonTO35]

I'm a cheapskate, looking for a bargain is a big part of the fun! If I don't win this one I'm going to make a deal with another member for his very low mileage 445.

I've fixed and ran many of the 435/440/445/450/455s
The ms250 or 025 is a far better saw even though it's a stihl.

 

[FergusonTO35]

Any particular reasons why? Not calling you out, just wondering. Around here, the nice MS-250's are priced like a new saw and the cheap ones are very high mileage.
