Fancy!

Lemme guess, your old handle Toyboy69?



Shouldn't you be out waxing the Tundra?

I made a plywood box for my saw. A few old, wore out shirts in the bottom to sop up oil.....




Holds the saw, a gallon of bar oil, couple gals of gas, spare bar, chains and air filters, mix oil and sharpening stuff. And a pair of singlebit axes .....

Stihls need a box to hold all the parts together when they rattle apart from driving down a gravel road!

I really like that one, the layout and the written reminders about plug type/gap/oil mix etc. I went from 15 saws to 5 this year, but still have other 2 cycle equipment, so something like this helps keep things all organized and right in front of you. Visual management. Might have to borrow some of your ideas, Thanks for sharing!

You guys are so organized....

Hah! yet another reason to go with the cloth upholstery instead of the classy leather!

Death, taxes, and chainsaws leak oil. Buy, adapt, or build a case that will contain the oil and hold the saw.

LOL!!

It has been a few posts since this image was offered.

Thanks add I almost forgot what it looks like

Did somebody say Ford diesel sucks?

😂😎

Ha...like we won't know who Gruff billygoat is.

Don't sweat it fella, you taught me something I didn't know about husqvarna.

And it is useful.

Although 2 of my saws came with molded
plastic cases, whenever I get through with
one I pour the unused gas and bar oil back
into their respective containers.
I didn't think I was the only one that did that,
but I guess I am

I haven't owned a chainsaw for over 30 years. Now I live in a hilly mountain property with dense forest, and a log cabin with 4-foot+ old stone fireplace and several other wood stoves to boot, so I'm about to get one. We had to widen the 300 foot+ driveway to satisfy fire regs, so the worker had to cur a few trees down and left all the wood in four foot lengths alongside the gravel drive. I do have a truck, wheelbarrow and light four wheel cart to move it around.

Stihl products are all now made in the USA, which is appealing to me, and the very close local hardware store is a Stihl dealer–and stock parts. I'm thinking that that's the way to go, right?

Tractor Supply, ten miles away, has Husqvarna products. Walmart near it, has some cheaper brand likely made in China. Not being as active as I used to be, to put to mildly, I figure maybe a 170 or so would work (?) Most of the loose wood is 4-6 inches diameter or less but up the hill by the spring and rock pond are stacked logs up tp 20 inches dia. that I'd likely hire sometime with a gas engine splitter to handle.

What kind of wood is it?

The small stuff is ponderosa, juniper and piñon.

The big cut logs in the woodpile up the hill are cottonwood.

Stihl MS261.

260 and 026 would also be a good choice if you want to find a cheaper, used unit.

Where ya' been, Norm?

Stihl. Stihl. Stihl. Stihl
