That's who I want to surround myself with in the field

Burv, I wanna rep you for that, but it won't let me. I try very hard to pass my enthusiasm on to our seasonal folks. Some of them come back every year. Some I never see again. No matter. They all get the same attention and the same training. Your job and mine aren't so different -- we're both responsible for making sure that whoever replaces us when we move (on, up, elsewhere) can do the job right.

Also: I have a STELLAR crew this year. If any of you bastids ever find this thread, call me out -- I'll buy you a beer. That goes for five years down the line. I just wanna know that you care about the job.

EL NASTY- The new 660..OH DUDE, SHE GETS ON IT

I never claimed to be some bad ass, but this is why I think 440's, 460's, and 372's are a total joke to cut logs with. I always spend most of my summers in 32" and bigger Fir. A handful of 4 footers in this strip up next. We don't count the bark

Back baring the sight cut, I bet it's a lot easier with the 660 then a 390.

Nice pictures. Looks like you're liking the 660 so far.

 

[hammerlogging]

YES YES YES!

Like it Burv.

'bout time you gave us a look, thought maybe you were running it with a paperbag over it. That saw is doing the job, I'm glad you are happy with it. There is something about how they fit, and how well you cut.
That size of Fir is one of my favorites, to be turned loose with a 6 inch class saw would be fun.

 

[Burvol]

YES YES YES!

Like it Burv.

Joe go get one now! PM sent

You still need some sparkly bling on it. Then it would cut way better. :clap

I think it doesn't matter what brand the saw is. It is the operator... The old faller here would agree with you on the size. He says a 440 makes a good landing and rigging saw, but for falling you need to have more power just in case.

That's just it Patty. I don't mean to sound upsetting, but that is the truth. Grown men that don't have a broken back need to be in the 90cc range.

I will work on the bling :greenchainsaw:

Jesse, you should put a Stihl nekked lady sticker on it for bling. :greenchainsaw:

Good pics and good saw. Thanks for sharing.

You're lovin the cutting jeans too, I know it!

Oh boy! Fashion talk! Stick on flames would be nice on the saw. Probably make it run faster too. But then they might get you shut down for fire danger....

Heavy Leanin Basswood.

Dutch faced and strapped.

Scared the sheet out of it!

16s seem to skid easy on the curvy roads I have to make.

That basswood took a crap in the third picture.
