I finally got to cut some real wood again. I put 3 tanks through the new 066BB topend, 2 through the 440, and 2 through the 372BB. None of these saws are what most would even call broken in. The 066 only had less than a tank through it before today. The 440 has never been worked and hadn't run since EricJeepers GTG, and the 372BB had never seen real work either.
This house is about 1 1/2 miles down the road from my house. Someone topped out a large tree in the front and one in the back. I asked the other day if he needed someone to cut the one in the front down. He declined. I didn't know about the one in the back. Every time I drive by I look at that tree. Today I stopped and offered to do it for free
He jumped on that. I need some saw time, lol! Then he says, "I've got another one in the back you can drop". That's the one on the video. Before I got to work, he goes, "I can't let you do all this for nothing, I'll bring you $100. He knows where I live. That was just the icing on the cake. Grant it, I probably did $300 worth of work, but I was just looking to run my saws a little.
I had a little trouble getting the tree to fall. I fell it against the lean and it took a little more wedging a persuasion than I antisipated. It ended up going right where I planned it.
I'm really impressed with this 066. This new topend is really strong. The 440 has a new 460 topend and was tuned quite rich. It's a tossup between it and the 372BB. The 372's tuned a more optimally and you can tell it in the video. The 440 still seems to have more grunt. One of these days I'll do a proper shootout between this 440, my 460 and the 372BB.
Enough talk, here's the video.
