Sorry to double post. I just saw this thread for equipment. I use a husky 359 with a 24 in bar/chain. I was cutting a 20 foot tall 3 foot diameter trunk and right when the tree started to fall my bar pinched. The tree took my saw with it and crushed it. I sell firewood as a side job and just lost half of this years profit with the saw. The motor in all looks to be unscathed but I figure I'm gonna have too much in parts and labor to justify fixing it. I'm sick to my stomach. My wife lost her job, the truck motor blew up, the lawnmore blew up, and we found out we were preganant all between tuesday and tuesday (1 week) so I decided to pick up firewood as a side job. Things wer going well and making around 1500 a winter until now.
Trying to make ends meet ends meet and this happens. Go figure
