I've been thinking about getting an 576xp (non-auto tune). I've seen a couple of vids of a sling'r 576, I think that will be my next new saw, I'm just addicted to building my own from the ground up.
Why dont you go make some $$ with all thoes saws that you have ported? you just want the 576 cause you think its cool. Mind that would be OK of you where a real log cutter. . .

Nothing too important, just checking in with the bunch tonight. This is actually a nasty little hill (the low side of my stumps are about 5-6" high & rocky as hell) that dives right off below me. I like cutting really nice bar width Pine all day. It's perfect wood to keep you really engaged and get a lot of wood rolling. Throw in some hammers, and it's great. No biggies this week, but some really nice wood. I'm headed back to the West Side to cut Fir next week. Coming over East and cutting Pine for a few weeks is fun.

Are they skidding tree length, or you having to limb and buck?

Full manufacture.
Hmmmph. I was in a blizzard all day yesterday thinking about the Donner Party. Looks like you have been in a banana belt.

Good pics Burvol! It looks like fun. Bar length is best. No effn around, three cuts (most of the time). Man, I NEED to get into production. I'm sick of screwin around with dead and ugly wood most of the time.

That's not bad with Ponderosa -- them big limbs are an easy target -- unlike DF.
I'll be cutting some FW in a nice fir patch soon -- big, dead pumpkins. . . I'll take some video.

Pine limbs are like rubber. They bend, fold, then snap (loaded up, bucking logs). They can tend to droop down at you (like white fir) when you walk up your log. They can just sit there and hang above you in other trees, just waiting to come down. The rule of thumb is never trust pine hangers, ever. They will give a little, give a little, then finally come down. They are are very, very heavy too.
When Dougie imbs are loaded up you can just touch them and they pop really hard, and Douglas Fir limbs tend to fall to the ground out of other trees well too. I've been knocked unconcious from a fir limb, 14ft. long and as big as a tennis ball where it was riped out of the tree, I measured it. Don't ask me how I lived. I thank God for that.
Be safe Nate, and enjoy your juice wood!

Nice Pics man. I like cuttin pine, but you are right about the limbs...they like to throw a lot of dirt and rocks on the bark on steeper ground too, especially in decomposed granite.
Sometimes that is all you can do is thank god, for it can always be worse. Just one of those jobs where a guy has to accept the fact that he is probably gonna get hurt, just hopefully not too bad...glad it was not too bad pard!

I was looking more on the bright side I guess.

Some Pine, nothing too killer, but decent wood.
Another nice stick. A tad limby though. Not too bad.
Self portrait, LOL.
You can't see it (blurry right there, not sure why), but I took a page out of Cody's play book. I made a sweet, smaller saw patch out of old calk boot leather. The part from around the calf, pre-folded. Used some dense, thin carpet and epoxy. Worked slick! Thanks Cody.
