Morning folks. 40f to 43f with a bit of a stiff breeze from the north today. And then a cool down, so they say, to close to our normally expected weather pattern for the next week. The only thing seeming to be missing is some moistures, seems to be in a pattern of going a bit south to way north of us.

Huh, I’ve never experienced that. But each of my 462’s only have 1 logging season on them, respectively.

I guess that's a little different, but sh!t still happens. You don't have 4 guys picking it up to make cuts...

Tree Service saws are the most tortured saws (in my opinion) and live the hardest life.

I know what you’re saying, but I’d rather support the site with the $2/mo membership. Most if the time it works great. This has happened to me a few times now the day after it auto renews.. They just have a glitch somewhere that needs fixin.
I have no problem supporting the forum but these slackers need to get their sh!t together so when it renews you don’t have the issues. I’m look at how much Dallas has been calling them out and they still haven’t responded. That said I would not want to be those guys with all the stuff they have going on. They do a damn fine job giving us a place to hang out and shoot the chit.

I absolutely agree. After working in the tree service in Rochester, MN for Davey, I saw all that first hand. Most of the employees were not knowledgeable about equipment, and it showed. It was abused daily. No one cared for the saws. Dropped, thrown, not maintained, etc. I actually got yelled at on a job for sharpening my chain with a file!

The solenoid went out in my new washing machine in a few months..then...it went again.

I guess that's what 1200 dollars buys you these days.
my washer and dryer are 2008 models and ive had to work on both but might be better that i do try keeping them going

My first 462 was a 2019 model and it popped about a month ago, the piston cracked and it ate the top end, I was pissed..obviously..but it didn't owe me anything. Made it 4-5 years.

I do my best to keep up with what we use, better than most services out there..but the inevitable comes at some point.

That's because Dallas has bought up all the top end product.

I did a bathroom for one of my friends that has a bunch of properties this winter while we were slow, just a little 2 day job for something to do while the weather was bad.

The sink that came with the vanity had bad fixtures.

The walls on the surround had small cracks.

The drain in the tub was out of round.

Quality control is going DOWN for our purchased goods.

I was so pissed I had to load all the sh!t up and take it back to exchange it.

Truth… it’s all garbage these days. Don’t even get me started on refrigerators.
LG by chance? We have a Maytag on the way to replace the LG one that was in the place when we bought it. In doing our research even the appliances store tell you not to buy LG.

Morning / Evening All. We’ve had a few fast moving storms past through, wind is howling like a freight train. Good thing the trees are still bare or they would like be in rougher shape this morning.

At least the rain is better than more snow…

Probably made in China by the lowest bidder.
Stihl probably makes it themselves but who knows where, could be China but their main casting operations are in Brazil. They’re just super thin I suppose to help with the weight wars that everyone is in. The 261/362 got a version of that first as part of the weight reduction.
