Ever have one of those days. Big saw (036 pro) got hot on me and died, couldn't get to restart. Little saw (MS 180C) got pinched, saw what was about to happen and took the bar off the power head, log rolled over and made a nice U shape out of the bar. Made it to the local shop before they closed and dropped off the big saw to have it looked at and got a new bar for the little one. Sure hope they can fix the 036, I'm pretty partial to that saw.........
Should of stayed in the house today...........

I have a 12 year old 036 that runs as good as the day I bought it. When I'm cutting with it's like an extension of my arm.
Ja, reading the title, I was thinking the worst... blood, emerg... Equipment can be replaced.Gooserider said:
My mind's full of morbid thoughts this morning... With a name like "leftyscott" I picture a custom prosthetic for what was your right arm.leftyscott said:
About 6 yrs ago I had a 036 pro in the front bucket of the tractor. I was running a brushcutter on the back. Didn't see the saw bounce out of the bucket. You want to guess what happens when chainsaw and brushcutter meet? I put the very small pieces into a box and walked into my saw store and asked,"can you fix this". Needless to say I bought a new one, and it rides with me on the tractor.

I should have stayed in the house today. Probably a reason I had these morbid thoughts.
I went out to fix my snow thrower after it injested a hardwood stick that my wife gave the dog to play with. I always give her small Poplar sticks for that very reason. Anyway, I was working with a small angle grinder and managed to take a notch out of the back of my thumb. Not bad enough to go to emerg but damn, it hurts. I had just taken off my gloves so at least I didn't ruin a perfectly good glove.

You guys are right, equipment can be replaced. Got the new bar yesterday and finished cutting up the tree I had down. Things went much better today, took the splitter to the woods, trailer on the ATV. From the splitter to the trailer to the pile, gota love it when things work like there supposed to. Got about a cord and a half put up today, and had a pork butt on the smoker while doing it..........good eats tonight.

Sorry to hear about the injury good it wasn't any worse and at least you saved the glove but I think it's supposed to work the other way around. :ahhh:
Yup . . . seems like most of the days when I go into the woods to cut up some firewood I either have "one of those days" when the saw gets pinched, every tree falls the wrong way or ends up getting caught up as a leaner, I forget an important tool (like the chainsaw wrench or extra chain) . . . or I have "a great day" when everything falls where I want it to fall, the tree gets bucked up in record time, there are few branches to deal with and I end up with a pile of wood . . . for some reason I rarely have a day where things are fair . . . some good happens, some bad happens.
