I wanted the rancher but settled for the poulan but went with the 20 inch bar. didn't want to spend that much money just got the 19.95 extended warranty. My old saw seized up there was something broken in it for the past year but it was getting time for a new one anyway. I got an extra 6-7 cords (128cu/ft) out of it. then she died. some day I will take it apart and see if I can fix it, and use it or sell it. I don't need a skidder heck I cut it in the woods and wheel barrow it out. Man I don't use a log splitter either...don't need one use axe and maul and I am fine good work out that way.

Sorry about the rant on the other thread Danno.

I talk about this all the time with my wife..I call it the American Dream!!!

We Work to buy stuff to make our life easier, but its not good enough so we work more and buy more stuff to make our life easier so we have more time to do what we want. but its not good enough so we work more to buy more stuff to make our life easier and before you know it you have all this stuff and no time to use it or play with it because your working all the time to pay for it. So where is the enjoymnet in that. I might be the crazy one but I like to split wood by hand...

I have this friend that goes to my gym and he has a $125,000 mercedes, 2 top of the line Quads, 1 Track racing motorcyle, 1 dirt track motor cycle, a ford bronoco that he had someone else restore and lift and what ever. but you know he uses that stuff once a year and the occational weekend, why because he works about 90 hours a week!!! this way he can pay for his toys but anyway!!!

sorry getting carried away again!!!!

back to maple.

I put up a 55 gallon white poly barrel to drain into the float box. easy to unhook, putin an extra valve to clean it out. and its easy to remove just used a racheting strap and a few hooks to hold it down and a little transfer pump to fill it. ran an over flow out of it just in case just need a few more fitting and it should be ready to go.

Waitng for fire chief to inspect this thing so I can start bricking the arch. don't want to get it done then he says well you need to do this....!!! got bricks from a masonary supply warehouse $1.45 for full bricks. not bad!!!

OK back to the list...next!!!!
