So what did you buy today

[TheDarkLordChinChin]

Bought it a few days ago, arrived today.
Got it at €975, about €100 cheaper than elsewhere.
Anyone in Ireland have a look at coughlann garden equipment, they have a sale on Husqvarna saws.

not totally sure yet. im selling my old one to the guy i work for. this one is too nice to be tossed around like his saws haha.

A 3120 made me the most money in the shortest time of any saw I ever had. Back in about 2004 there was an add in the paper for a 16" drum chipper. I called the guy and we talked a bit. I asked him what he was running for a big saw. He said a 3120. I asked if he was interested in another and he said yes. Well when I met with him it was an odd situation. A department store had been allowing him to store his trucks and chippers in a unused portion of their parking lot. The store was going belly up and he had to get the equipment out. He did not have a location for all the equipment and the chipper was an older one he was not using, he just need to move it. I asked him how much he wanted and he said $1000. That was fair with me but of course being a trading type of guy I asked if he was interested in a trade on a 3120. He said yes. I got the 3120 out of the truck and we talked a bit. We settled on $300 in cash and the 3120. I only had $500 in the 3120 and at that time John Lambert was still selling NOS Stihl 088's for $1050 delivered so that saw was easy to replace if I chose to. They guy even delivered the chipper. I had it her all winter and used it a bit but it was just in the way. I ended up selling it to a guy in North Carolina for $3350. I had $500 in the saw, $300 in the chipper and got a $3350 out of the chipper.

That 3120 netted me $2550

I understand that. My bank account nor my body would cooperate with one of those.

I know how that works.
Last winter one of the fallers here called me wanting to know if I could get a 3120. The entire crew runs 395's but apparently Jose' wanted to try a 3120. I ordered one from Paveen over in Malaysia as he could get the non-epa ones that were not choked up. I swear the boys could smell the big brown turd truck UPS delivering it as literally 5 minutes after it was delivered Tommy, Hector, and Jose' were here to get it. Tommy and I are shooting the wind and Jose' and Hector are taking pictures of each other holding the saw. Tommy looks over at them and says "boys that saw is bigger than you guys are".
He was not far off.

The flat files (Woody's) are specifically designed for depth gauges with no serrations on the edges. The 5/16" round files are particularly useful for the chains on some two man saws.

The Woodsman harvester bars will end up in the display for comic affect.

The bars include 3 - 34" and 5 - 20" roller nose "universal" mount that fit the older large frame McCulloch, Homelite, etc., 2 - 20" hardnose universal mount, 5 - 24" .050 D009 mount, 6 - 24" .058 D009 mount, 1 - 16" and 1 - 18" small mount Husqvarna.

Additionally there was about 90' of 3/8 .058 chisel chain (Oregon)

Tractor Supply deals. Yesterday I picked up a gallon of bar oil for $8.99. Today I discovered I found in the bargain section a 2 5/16 gooseneck ball, was $130, now $33! I might get a gooseneck setup for my truck or if not I’ll just sell this and make a little money. Also headlight resto kit for $3.29, was almost $13! Also trying out cheap racket box wrenches, my neighbor has good ones which I love, had to get my own, we’re $10 for each of the 2 kits.

It is the reward of working all your life, retiring, and now having time to search the internet auctions and go pick stuff up.
