After the fallout about her "off topic" turkey post, she got kind of pissed off,
and started saying crude things about Canadians, in general.
But keep in mind, she is just a stupid cat............
What she said about Pioneer chainsaws, does not reflect my personal
views.......................
Thank GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I call them Thunder and Lightnin'

:agree2: Nice Combo..that's a damn nice setup man!
how many acres does your mate have?I just got back from a bit of a working holiday to a mate's place in Tasmania (Australia).
He wanted a fair few trees cleared as a fire break after seeing what happened with the Victorian Bushfires. These were mainly Pine, Wattle, Stringybark, and a few Bluegums. Unfortunately the ideal saw for most of these would have been my 7900 with a 32" bar but it was getting fixed so only had my 3120XP and 5100-S. Probably around 90% of the cutting I did was with the 3120. Needless to say I was well and truly worn out by the end of the week. My forearms diameter is rapidly overtaking my biceps. I really don't care if I don't touch the thing again for a few months...
My mate has an 029 with a 20" bar but isn't confident enough to fell some of the larger trees.
Although I'd spent a reasonable amount of time on my 3120 I learnt a whole new level of respect for her after running over 70 litres of fuel through it in 5 days. One thing I realised is that they use a LOT of fuel , and the second thing was not to get in its way when flush cutting stumps. I had it kick back pretty violently and caught the handle in my left thigh and left, um, you know what. It launched me for a few metres where gravity took over and I ended up about 10 meters down into a dry creek bed holding my crotch in the foetal position hoping that my still idling Husky with 42" buried wasn't going to pop out and land on me. I ended up with a bruise the size of a baseball on my leg but thankfully should still be able to bare children.
Have attached a few photos and will attach a video of a big 4 foot pine I dropped once its uploaded to Youtube...
These massive pine logs were felled a couple of years back by a guy from a local mill. He was meant to come back and get the logs but never returned. I cut them up with the 3120 and 60" bar so a local guy with a 5 tonne excavator could roll them into a creek bed so they'd rot away. There were two pines - one had a trunk about 5 foot and the other near 7 foot. Also had to be very careful that none of the cut pieces rolled off down the very steep hill and took out my mate's fire fighting water tank!
Note burnt up .404" sprocket tip. It gave up completely shortly after and siezed solid. I used a 36" GB Hard Nose after that plus 42" and 60".
I box cut this Bluegum after a plunge cut to check for rot. It had both rot and some fire damage from bushfires that ravaged the area in the early 60's. This wood is very, very hard - and damn heavy. This one log yielded around 4 tonne of firewood as it had snapped off about 20' off the ground. Came down with one big thump. Husky is wearing a 42" bar that I changed from .404" to 3/8" and was running non skip Carlton semi chisel.
