You are looking toward the SW corner of Humboldt County, to the left of that tallest hill on the right, in the gap, is the Pacific, kinda hard to see.

Beautiful country Randy. Glen I agree coyotes , and more! Cary that looks like Oregon?

Pretty country you have then Cary. I like the mountains like that. Looks like some of the area we hunt pigs. Well today trying to get the energy to get some stuff done. I have the 2100 I am putting together for my friend, the one I got with the 288, and other blown 2100. Well carb kit, fuel line and filter needed. And waiting on the clutch cover, and full wrap from Canada. I have the other stuff so thinking I will so that carb kit, and fuel line, then do the same on the 1100 From Randy, and AAron. Been trying to round up 3 husky bars here on trades, no luck yet. May have to just go new, Baileys has some decent deals going. I always wanted some Canons. but cost, and weight stopped me. Best bar I ever tried, but the lighter ones, really make a difference. I feel Canon is the best money can buy though. Was looking at the Oregon pro, seems there version of a Canon bar. Thing I did not like seemed only availabe in .058 gauge. Well cooling down here so good day to work!

I agree. Aaron is a really good dude. I just wish he'd quit threatening to tell my wife that I'd be safer without my big saws...............

Cary I love those Canons! Good ole polished steel look. Jon how the heck are you, good to see you my friend. I have a 288xp finally! Needs p&C but very straight, and got a sweet 1100, from Aaron and Randym. Not sure if you saw that awhile back.
Have you ever tried a tsumura light or a regular tsumura bar even?? Their quality is right up there with cannon but weight wise they're not bad at all. A tsumura light does way more than a stihl light of same lenght but it is lighter than a standard stihl. Price wise at least in Canada they're also about the same as stihl.

No never have Alex, but heard they are of great quality. Have some ES lights at work and pretty impressed so far. After Aaron, Parmeter and I talking yesterday we came to the conclusion that we think the Canons are not that much heavier, if much. But hard to beat how smooth they glide down the rails, and never seen any out oil them. But like you say, really heard of the Tsumara quality. Like to try one someday soon.

So me new 1100, is pretty much the 2101, minus the manual oiler, and all metal handle. I fell in love all over again. It has look like upgrade unlimited carb. Did carb kit, fuel line, and filter. Oiler side crank seal and it run's like a champ
Great news from my neighbor from the downsouth, just love the old gals, have a sound and feel all to their own, and a get down and grunt that has been lost to high RPM's. Good job, have fun with her.

I got to run my 056 mag this weekend in some big wood and was very impressed as was everyone that was there, had the 32 inch bar buried in a large fir tree with a 8 pin rim and it wanted more. One or two observations about the mag II, first it is heavy, second it is LOUD, both of which add to the smile factor when operating said saw. We were having so much fun with it that I had forgotten about the 066, the poor girl never saw a drop a fuel.
Probably a good thing for the 066 not to get run right after the 056 Mag......The 066 might have been a let down.

new guy here
Old firewood cutter from Cali central valley...mostly Almond and Walnut starting with a 266xp then 044 and finally the 066. Used to be able to go 6day/week all day long but a few hrs about kills me now
Have been running the same 066mag 'red-eye' since the mid 80s when they first came out. I mainly use a 24" bar with comp chiz and 8t rim for anything under 30" and then switch to either a 32 or 36 and a 7t with skip chain. Past that I have a 404g 42" full skip. The saw has always pulled even the 42 with ease in big pine to big oak and Euch to 6' (as long as I don't go nuts on raker filing). I'm too out of shape to use the 42 much anymore...getting old and soft. The saw came with the dual port muffler and was rated at 7.8hp from the factory. I've since ported/gutted the muffler for a little more power. A newer 066 I also have isn't quite as fast despite swapping to the dual port, modded muffler. I did notice the other day that the carb in it has .062 jet so that might be the problem
I've used an 090 (48" bar) before and it dang-near kilt me...lost feeling in my hands for hrs afterwards
084 was nice once you got it on the log...too darn heavy, though.
056...nice with a 36" bar but again...too heavy
281, 288...didn't really care for them
3120....too heavy
Never used a Sach but hope to one day.
ran my 066 with a buddy's Husky 394 on a 3' Cedar log one time...both with 42" skip but he had 3/8 and I had 404. wasn't much of a contest...smoked him
for an all around saw I have yet to play with anything that beat this Stihl.
