084 my dealers got? Are they good?

[ChuckinOhio]

This is me personally so no one take offense-

I would buy a saw that would pull a 32 to 36 B&C easily, take the money saved versus buying the biggest thing out there and get with a PROFESSIONAL tree guy and get some instruction and training on how to properly deal with a tree of the size that you are talking about.

Make no mistake, a tree that big can turn you into a casualty in a big way, and do it double quick. You may already have the experience with big wood and all, and that is great. I didn't, and I really didn't want to get squished so I followed the above recommendation.

On the other hand, having a gargantuan rig is way cool for impressing people, but also think about how you will impress them deftly wielding a 660 as you laugh in the face of the mighty oak that once sought to stymie you!

Im not taking sides here, but some of you guys missed his intentions.

He wants the 084 and 60" bar so he can make cookies in one pass to use as table tops. He never said anything about felling trees.

I was under the impression that he was felling, and then cutting cookies until tree was used up and then felling again. Post #28 does make it seem as if all the trees are on the ground already.

Sorry if it seemed like I was scolding him.

Oh god no I wouldnt drop some thing that big....unless it was in the middle of nothing then I would. Im trying to find out what is the best saw for what im doing. Its not to say I got a bigger one its for work, I would just like an 660 cuz they sure weigh alot less and I would use it more, but I dont think it would run an 50 to 60 inch bar well.

 

[ChuckinOhio]

Now that I know what you are up to, I'll chime in again.

I wouldn't worry about the weight a whole lot unless you are going to saw cookies all the live long day. You should be able to whack quite a few cookies in say an hour or two and not really press yourself all that hard.

Plus if the tables are nice and all, you should be able to make enough dough to get another smaller saw at some point to relieve yourself of having to wield the bigun if it's not called for.

Can you get a 60' bar with a stinger on the end? Find a brave soul to hold on and cut away. Might have to have it made or something????

Just go buy the 084 and be done with it. Nice clean 084's with dealer support are hard to come by. I know I would never sell mine for $700.00

Just be prepared to lay down some more $$$$$$$ for a 60" bar.

Hey Chuck,
Your comment about the stinger handle is pretty funny. I was only able to find one person with enough guts to hang on to mine.
