How Big Is Your Saw

[YUKON 659]

Hey all you arborists, what's the largest saw (powerhead) you or your employer owns? Just curious to know what you use for stump cuts and bucking big wood.
Brian, before you post a reply....I know the 066 has only been out a few times and the 046 is all you need

What are you talking about? Brian cuts everything with his razor sharp echo 3400.

 

[Kevin]

I have a 335, 262 , 066 and use all three on a regular basis.

You forgot about the 3120 I ran at Davey.

Stihl 084... Next size down is a pair of 044s.
I went over a year with the 44s when the big saw was out of commision. It's nice having the long bar for felling big trees in tight quarters where the gun has to be exact.
We haven't cut big wood for firewood in years so the saws don't ever get worked too hard these days.
God Bless All,

165,
Nice pic... when was it taken???
You probably know by now that the eye of the sling should go around the shackle's pin to prevent the pin from rolling as the slack in the cable is taken up. I learned that from Richie Knowles, the undisputed best crane operator around here for tree work.
God Bless All,

Hey Brian, I noticed your not hanging onto the side of that tree with Gaffs either.

 

[Kevin]

Daniel;
Not to worry, that's a left hand thread.

big saw

husky 3120 Once had one of those groundie that worked in the woods. He was the skidder not the timberjack. He thought that he would help me out and sharpen the big saw. After I was hauled into the tree I found out that he had removed the rakers. He never even carried my saw again

 

[treeslayer]

For big sawing I 've got a husky 3120, stihl 066 and I retired the beast in the picture.
If I was'nt a horsepower junkie, the 066 would be enough.
Anybody recognize the saw? (hint, 111cc's.)
My back hurts all over again looking at it.
Dave

[Jumper]

First guy was an 088, the second a 066 and the third, another 088.

Currently the biggest on the truck is a Husky 268XP. There is a 066 under consideration though. I may wind up with an046 instead. I like performance but hate unnecessary weight. I don't make many big cuts.

 

[rbtree]

Greffardized 3120, 42 and 60 inch bars, then stock 066 dual port muffler, then Walkerized 372

 

[Toddppm]

The 066 gets pulled out a few times a year, not much.

044 with 30" bar with muffler mod. Looking for an 066 this summer. I want to leave a 20" bar on the 044 --love that saw!!
