cut that one in the heat of summer, bark was just really thick and fuzzy, made me itch more then I preffer.
Wouldn't mind trucking south to spend a couple days tipping Reds and inland Fir though. If the money was right.

On the subject of short bars, since its obviously come up.
Why is it that the guys who've never really tried it out, on a modern saw, or any saw, nay say the long bar?
But most of those that gave it a chance are all for it?

I know, what the heck is a Norcal Boy doing cutting conventional. Its just how I was brought up and has always been more comfortable and accurate for me. I cut my fair share of Humboldt's back in the day, but my production days are long behind me so I do as I please these days. I also do a whole lot of climbing and have always found conventionals to be much easier at heights.
$. What the heck is that?

Geez Reggie it's like we're having a normal conversation now. You ever try a longer bar with skip chain on a newer saw? I can't run full comp on a 32" bar on a 90cc saw in hardwood. It binds up if the drags are anywhere you need them to be and personally I like my saw to dig without effort. I've put time in on bars from 16"-36" and I've settled on 32" as my production bar. It's amazing the reach and different things you can do with a longer bar. Also keeps you an extra step away from danger.
Son? Now I appreciate the fact that you think I look young enough and handsome enough to be your son, but this mid-50's body going on 80 sure don't feel like anybody's "son".
Just playin" with you. I hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas!
Called some old dude a kid once face to face, thought fer sure he was going to try and wup my *** or have a heart attack... maybe both
Sure seems to be a bunch of bunched Y fronts here abouts lately...
NM, thought the same thing. Pick almost any thread on any forum lately. Must be stress. Maybe should try some Duluth's. Commercials are awful funny. Ron
Go commando. Problem solved, plus its cheaper than a new pair britches.
I've got longer bars on my older saws which I use to crosscut the larger downed salvage timber & I used to production fall with big saws 120cc+ and 30" - 36" bars and unless you're in consistently 1 meter + timber you can't get around as quick or as easily & cut as much, its subtropical here so the understory can be jungle like with vines & crap, then add the steepness & heat you're looking at having the most efficient system to lug around, I don't think you can even imagine how hard our timber is or how the fibrous bark that covers it effects the cutting, some old guys will still axe the bark off over any cuts they are going to make.
As a matter of fact we used to and maybe still do export hardwood timber to the US which they used in the bows of freighters on your Great Lakes, it was used to reinforce behind the steel hulls at the pointy end so the ships could break ice during winter.
Not sure I'm ok with that line of thought...
Wise man once said
Woman goes commando, dude is thinkin I'ma gonna get some tonight
Dude goes commando, woman is thinkin I'ma gonna need to warsh them pants twice.
That was one very wise man , and it kinda explains why my pants always smell so gawd awful.

Ron you're a good voice of reason around here. We just need the good doctor back for some shennigans and we'd be all set.
I miss Jon too. Don’t know if he has now cut down every tree on his place or the wife won’ t start his saws for him anymore.
Merry Christmas,
Ron
Merry Christmas,

I think a lot of us would like to see Jon back here. I hope things are going well for him.
You can see the damage has been done, these Ash are up over 20" now and will be coming down soon.
Arggh, EAB is no bueno. It hasn't hit here yet and we're hoping it won't. We do have the SOD but our white oaks are immune (Q. garryana); however, our bigleaf maples aren't and quite a few have perished. So far, it's limited to a few river drainages.
Agreed!
