...amateurs asking to borrow your saw? I just had a relative ask to borrow my 261 Pro saw to use on his new lake house property, which is an acre. I told him it wasn't working and I was planning on taking it into the shop. I then suggested he purchase a 170 homeowner or possibly an Echo - if you need a saw, you buy a saw, you never ask to borrow another man's saw. I would only loan my saw to an experienced faller, who I know would respect it. What say you?

l told my pap and mam I was going to be a mountain man; acted like they was gut-shot. Make your life go here. Here's where the peoples is. Mother Gue, I says, the Rocky Mountains is the marrow of the world, and by God, I was right.
