Discount Chainsaws
burb...@pe.net
chainsaw supplies? I am looking for one of those limb trimming chainsaws
with which one can cut branches as high as tweve to sixteen feet off of
the ground. Quality is a major concern. Other supplies are needed as
well.
Thanks.

If you know what you want, American Chain Saw in Tucker, Ga carries
Sthil, Husky, and maybe Echo at good prices. While they aren't a mail
order company, they will ship if you ask.
Tools on Sale (Amazon's home improvement partner carried husky
products at one time, I think they still do.
Also try AM Lenard (sp?) They are a landscape supply house that
carries at least one model of the type you are interested in.

When foxeye speaks of chainsaws, I listen.

as high as I have ever seen. I bought some Arborist equipment there
one day back in Nov, when I was over in Atlanta visiting some friends,
and they had a tree that needed taking care of, and I had no climbing
gear, so I went there, and got a few odds and ends, (I could always
use it and add it to my other gear when I got home) but It was as high
a price on everything.
If you want a HUsky brand, give http://tractors4u.com a check, they
are as cheap as it gets for Husky stuff, and Mayberrys is as cheap as
it gets for Echo........

I looked at both the Husky 55 and Stihl 029 last fall and bought the
Husky 55 Rancher. I can't describe why, they are both very solid
saws that would serve you well. I just like the feel of the Husky
better. I got mine locally for around $350 including tax and carrying
case. Cuts like a champ and really helped me cut up 11 trees that
fell down during Hurricane Floyd.

Have you (or anyone else) used this retailer? I need to make up for some bad
advice I gave my Dad and this place sounds too inexpensive (I don't want a strike
two!).
After spending a rainy morning cutting down a 85 foot 'split leaner' next to
their house with my 14inch pruner, steel cable and big ass come-along, he
declared it was time to buy a "real saw". I spent the next week convincing him to
save his money and buy the Homelite 45cc special for $190 at Home Depot. He does
so begrudgingly (it's assembled in Mexico), spends this past Saturday morning
bucking half the tree, declares the saw a "piece of garbage", cleans it up and
takes it back. Said the saw has less power than my 32cc little guy.

I've never used a Husky, but it has an excellent reputation. I have a
Stihl that I've been using for the past 3-years and it's excellent.
Previously I used an old Craftsman that doesn't compare to the Stihl,
but it was free so I thought the price was right. It wasn't. The Stihl
is so much faster and easier that now, if I had a choice between a
free "consumer" grade saw and a $400 Stihl, I would go for the Stihl.
Look at what the professional tree trimmers and firewood cutters use.
It's almost always a Stihl or Husky. That tells me a lot.

five years, cutting everything from fir to oak and maple to
blackberries, scotch broom and poison oak and I have to say I love it.
Now, some folks will correctly tell you that the 029 is one of
Stihl's "consumer grade" saws, vs. the 036 or some other model
professional saw. But I only use the saw about 100 or so hours a year,
I am not a professional logger, so it works great for me. Never a lick
of trouble, starts right up, etc. The cost is right...anywhere from
$299 to $329.
I also have a Husky brushcutter that gets about 400 hours of use per
year -- and that is HARD use -- and it works great (model 232R). I
have been a bit curious about how the Husky "air injection" system on
their saws work....it is purported to keep the filter, carb. etc.
cleaner.

period of time will chip and the paint will flake off. The Husky will
still look like new for a very long time to come. No paint to flake
or chip and no external alum or mag housings to corrode and break. The
Husky has a hi tech plastic that is dam near inmpossible to bust, and
will take a much harder beating for a much longer time than the Stihl
will. Get the Husky 55 with the 3/8" in pitch chain. It comes in both
.325 and also 3/8" pitch. With 3/8" pitch you also get the rim drive
sysytem. Much better in the long run than any spur type drive system.
I habve bought from tractors4u, as have some of my friends and
coworkers, and no one was ripped, just paid what was listed, and the
shipping and handling charges. Their prices are hard to beat.

flywheel, and the centrifugal force of the air being circulated
seperqates the majority of the chips and debris, out and away from the
air filter compartment. This leads to the air filter getting cleaner
air, as well as blowing air around in the compartment it tends to keep
accumulation to a minimum. Works great. I am not a Stihl fan, but
have nothing other than cosmetics against them, inso far a looking
decent in the long run. This is due to the fact that stihls piant does
chip with normal use, and this then leads to corrosion on the
magnesium and aluminum cases. Magnesium is a hi tech material, but the
main draw back is its abvility to corrode severly , and to corrode
easily if not kept under constant control. I don't have the time to be
touching up my saws, so therefore the Husky with thier solid color
through and through the hi tech plastic covers, is the way to go. It
don't show scratches, don't chip and flake or dent and bend like alum
and magnesium does, so it stays looking newer longer. While plastic
may sound like a cheap product, its not to be confused with el cheapo
plastic, this stuff is durable as all get up. Husky seems to start a
little easier in Hot and cold weather also. In my area it seems like
the Stihl dealers all have a chip on their shoulders, and could care
less about them selling you anything. Its like you owe them. The Husky
dealers are now far out numbering Stihl dealers, and they are all very
competative and friendly, and Husky also has that try it for a week or
so and if not satisfied bring it back for a full refund deal..Stihl,
has the buy it and keep it policy.

bought the Husky model 350 (50cc/18in) and couldn't be happier. He wanted the
side tensioner feature and likes the power available and also the remarkably low
vibration. Just as important was the dealer service (near Hamlin, Pa) who gassed
and oiled the saw and gave him a full demo out back. He also suggested to bring
the saw back after a few uses and he'd check the setup. Sure enough the idle was
causing the chain to creep, and promptly adjusted it without a wait. Most
suprisingly was that the cost was only about $20 higher than the best internet
price I could find (the local sales tax was about the others S&H).

Tell me a little more about the meaning of chain pitch. The 350 comes with a .325
pitch, but my little Poulan (33cc/14in) comes with a 3/8" pitch. What's the
significance?
foxeye
chain. Divide this in half. This is your chain pitch. 3/8 chain is
cheaper to make as it has less cutters than .325 chain does. A lot of
times .325 is used on saws that are minimally powered as its less of a
bite. This is not always true. With .325 having smaller cutters and
profile, it also makes a narrower kerf, and reduces kick back more.
You will find its going to cost a buck or two more for a chain
replacement using .325, due to the fact it has more cutters. With
smaller links and cutters it is possible to bend the chain in a
smaller radius around the bars tip. This also aids in kickback
reduction. Also having more cutters in contact with the wood being
cut, makes for less vibrations. I like .325 chain on the saws that I
use for limbing or if used up in a tree, but prefer the 3/8 or even
.404 for bigger wood and faster cutting when needed.
