I wanna know who the secret whiners are...
When I hear *s-word like this I just figure it all happens on facebook.

Me either, people ask me all the time why they can't find me on Facebook. They are always in shock when I say that's because I don't have it!
Same. Telling people you've never taken a COVID test takes it next level.

People are afraid to leave the forum now? Wtf is this nonsense?

Ryan told me he'd be giving me the "Banana Split Surprise" if I attempted to leave the forum, so I'm playing it safe.

I don't even want to speculate as to what it involves...

Crap, you people made me go watch his video!! Could not make it through one of them. All I can say is one of two things, his hands must hurt or his back does.

I'm just getting even with you for farting in that empty pop bottle with a tag that said "smell this" when you sent my clutch cover.

I'm not interested in those playgirl centerfolds of you appearing as Mr. July 1989 either.

254s are getting rare. I like the 262s since they are the same physical size but you can make them all run the same really


My theory with 254's, at least up here, is most of them saw pro use and got used up by guys like my Dad who would sometimes go through 3 saws a year, and just get a new one when the old one puked.
262's were much less common in my neck of the woods back home, as in pulpwood production running a 15" in .325, a 262 is no faster, so, the price of the 254, and it being a bit smaller and neater handling won the day.

Yes it’s definitely no faster. But it’s the same crank case. Only the top cover is slightly taller. Not a lot of difference in size. Both good saws.

I do believe the top handle is a little taller on the 262, the rear handle is a bit longer too, and the balance point is higher due to the longer rod/taller cylinder. Its one of those things you probably won't notice until you spend 50+ hours a week running the saws and doing ton of limbing. I know I never did until dad pointed it out

Correct the top handle is taller, the 254 is a smaller more compact saw
