Do any professional loggers run stock saws? I'm just curious.

I think the reason they mod is to get the most power out of a smaller saw so there is less weight to carry around during the day.
Makes sense to me.

Just the day wagers - the ones who tell you how much they are getting done - ya know the kind.

Absolutely, I agree that's why it's done. I was asking out of ignorance to see if there was anyone crazy/stupid/ignorant enough not to run a modded saw professionally when timbering. I'm not a logger and don't even play one on TV, but if I were a logger, I'd have to say that there'd be no stock saws in my working collection.

Like anything it depends what is done and what you want. You will be pleased though.

Can't wait. It will be nice to cut with those saws again. You do a good job on the work that you have done. Keep it up.

The first one is me limbing up a tree with Castle Crags and Mount Shasta in the back ground. The tree to my left is not near as close as it looks.

Second the is Erickson Air Crane flying logs from my strip last year in Paradise, Ca. Some big un's. Had to buck short log's in most of my strip.

The third is me rippping some of the logs in my strip with an old 084 AV with a 6 foot Cannon bar- they were too big even for the Air Crane to fly.

My brother worked for Erickson as a mechenic in the 70's. He was always in a different place.
