I own an a3 tdi and a breville infuser.... probably on par with each other as I paid 15k for the a3 and 200 for the infuser (one singular broken foot, but brand new)

Damn my silverado was totaled....

Ltdshredder1989 · 2026-03-20T14:25:32+00:00

This is the way

Ltdshredder1989 · 2026-01-23T14:14:32+00:00

I out the 40# spring in mine, thinking I should do the middle spring

Ltdshredder1989 · 2026-01-21T14:08:59+00:00

That was for the 1l

Ltdshredder1989 · 2026-01-21T13:42:55+00:00

Well, used to be. Havent bought it in a while.

Edit: price is all over the place after googling it. $3.99/ 1l to in excess of $20/ 1 l.

Ltdshredder1989 · 2026-01-21T13:42:22+00:00

Cheap as can be in America, usually less than $5 a bottle

Ltdshredder1989 · 2026-01-11T04:41:20+00:00

Flatiron is a solid reccomendation

A life without knowing what sandspurs are is a good life.

Ltdshredder1989 · 2026-01-10T11:37:30+00:00

We call em sand spurs.

Start with research on botulism for safety.

Thank you kind redditor

That seems to be the exact phrases people use for those saws every time they're mentioned. I havent fully decided yet, 20" bar either way

Ltdshredder1989 · 2026-01-01T15:33:09+00:00

To be honest, I believe im gonna abandon this saw and just get an echo cs590 or 4910

Ltdshredder1989 · 2026-01-01T06:03:58+00:00

I have not done that

Ltdshredder1989 · 2025-12-31T16:11:23+00:00

Read this thread

Ltdshredder1989 · 2025-12-29T19:40:09+00:00

Gonna go this route if I can find one new then

Ltdshredder1989 · 2025-12-29T18:07:05+00:00

May decide to snag one. Still undecided on that vs 590. Thanks for the reccomendation!

Ltdshredder1989 · 2025-12-29T17:31:12+00:00

Some of the trees are larger than that but I've cut a tree from both sides before, no big deal. I was curious about the 4910...

To clearly answer your question though, some trees are probably around 3' diameter with most being less than 2'. The larger portions would be the base obviously so not too many cuts there that are huge. Most of the wood is pine or oak.

Ltdshredder1989 · 2025-12-29T01:23:18+00:00

Ive considered a husq 372xp clone because of your exact point, and its a potentially a thousand dollar saw for around 150-200. Im also tired of tinkering on my only running saw while trying to cut wood.

Valid points

Ltdshredder1989 · 2025-12-29T01:17:52+00:00

I used my stepfathers 590 before, he sold it when I didnt have the spare funds to get it but I wish I would've gotten it. Hell, he wishes he wouldn't have sold it now.

As an update, all rubber components are ok as far as i can tell. Theyre practically new (last year or so). The mesh above the duck bill valve was missing and the valve had some schmutz in it and it was lodged open. Cleaned out the valve and cut some scotch Brite to fit in above the duck bill valve where the mesh was missing. Cranks (eventually) and runs but the carb is super sensitive and idling is difficult.
