Granberg Double Ended Bar

[Bill G]

Many years ago I had a 090G on eBay. A guy called saying he needed it right away because he was milling huge logs he had trucked from the West Coast to Iowa. He said he was running 090's on double ended bars but he had burned up one and needed this one quick. I had to explain to him that it was not going to work as this was a 090G. I ended up selling him a direct drive. I called a bit after that and he had burned it up also.

How can it not be "safe" with a helper handle versus a second powerhead?
Please explain.

Has nothing to do with the chainsaw side of things... you're just less likely to injure yourself if there's a second person to help with the lifting

Yeah na, sure that wasnt the direction of the comment- but a helper handle is lighter than an additional powerhead- so still wins out.
