What the......? Who the Hell is that? Never seen that guy before......He sure is a handsome devil, however.......I heared "notice my Okieness for not saying heard?" his chains do not cut worth beans!

Talk like that......you must be related to Cody, lol.

1- Did not (Knot) know it was there.....More investigation perhaps?
2- I'm related to Cody by choice....love him like a brother....in fact he is my brother...
3- I did not mean to side swipe my rakers as is evident from the above story...I was however trying to put a pocket in front of the raker to help pack out chips which I know for a fact helps clean the cut now matter what kind of wood you are cutting...It's the angle that fouled me which was a hurried mistake.
4- It was sleep or no show......never been the no show type.
5- Too each there own....I purchased a 394 and a 390.....both disappointing me but in this competition everyone had to run the same saw....It's all about the chain.
6- Just because I admit my mistakes and take blame for my faults do not mistake me for a rookie.....Realization of fault and admittance to failure is a step forward to success.....as soon as you realize this you will be running Stihl's! LOL

 

[RandyMac]

stihls must have improved greatly, they were considered over-weight, over-priced and under-powered.
I didn't see Huskies in my woods until the '80s.

 

[coastalfaller]

When I was first breaking in, I worked for one of the best falling contractors in BC, if not the best. Great man. Anyway, he would supply saws IF you ran Husky. If you wanted a Stihl, you had to buy your own! lol He called them "baby saws". That's stuck with me all these years! I find a Stihl akin to packing around a box with handles on it! Unweildy. Has to be something to them though I guess, a few guys use them!

 

[Greenwedge]

LOL, like I said to each there own. I was only fun'n Tramp....not trying to get the whole Stihl and Husky thing going. I know a lot of good hands that run Husky's.

Yes Randy, they must have.

Haha! No worries! Like I said, I know a couple guys that run them too!

Great Stihl shop you guys have over there in town. Not many places left you can buy a 660, an AK-47, and a radiator hose for your truck all at the same place anymore The owner's wicked friendly too.

I've been told by a guy that Olive's does a good hop up on a saw.

I was just goofin too . . I would like Stihls better if they would give their handle bars a 2" strech fore and aft . . Their great for a short bar . Suck with a long bar . But as is I owne more stihls than I do Huskies at the moment .

Yes sir. One of the best! I think the world of Dwain Olive. I used to cut for him when he was contracting. He's a hell of a saw, man, and businesshead.

The full wraps being too "tight" was one of my complaints with the 050/75s, loss of leverage and range of angle.

 

[tramp bushler]

Ya . They were pretty close in . I thot Germans had great big lunch hooks . . I know a bunch of guys who really liked the 075 . I had a couple of them . Spent 1 winter bucking firewood with an 075 with a 50" cannon on it . Sometimes I would have to block out on the side so I could get the heart cut . The pulp mill gave me a bunch of oversize that was too big for them to process .

I didn't have to block out this one . Biggest tree of the winter

Looks like she went over backwards?

Looks like a deep face and a post to hold it over, and he dutched his wood on the off side.

There was an aftermarket full-wrap handle for the 051/075/076 made in the early 80's by a gent in Ft. Bragg. It was a much more comfortable
handle to run on those saws. It was taller and a little bit wider and had the oversize grips like the modern day Pro-Safety handles.

Yup . Alot of times I'm a little low on my far side . With the deep face I didn't have to tap a wedge . Topped it out in the middle of the road , slight quarter leade so I didn't have to wade thru snow when I got done limbing and the loader had good traction to break it out of its bed . .

 

[tramp bushler]

Todays labor of love . 6 hours port to port . Had to put in 400' of road to get them
