Just a belated Thanks again to the Host of the Ind gtg, was neat to do timed cuts in some hardwood, shag bark hickory you say (sure ain't poplar).
I couldn't even budge that stuff it was so heavy.
It was good to put faces with the names of the people here and you all were some good people to BS with.
Ian, I was highly impressed with your 375, next time lets try running it with one of my work chains though.
Those muffler modded 7900's were so strong in the cuts in that hickory, I had to ask the owners if they had been lightly woods ported. They seemed stronger then the stock ones I have run in the past for some reason and I thought they were strong then.
Now people have seen a stock Partner 5000 plus in action and could see why I compared it to a 5100S. If you guys muffler mod those puppies they will come to life and out cut the 5000's then by a hair, so open up those mufflers guys if you want the potential out of those little buzz saws.
To the guys from the GTG, that wanted a copy of my IPL and service manual files etc, pm here or the other place I told you I would be at.
Hope to see you all again at the Ohio GTG in Dec.
Note to self, bring long bars even if told, no need for anything over 20".
Brandon, I love those 075 and 076, darn your hide got me looking now.
Last but not least, Al thanks for the great road trip. It just doesn't get anymore interesting then that.
