Iowa Spring GTG

If your using it for mowing I wouldnt get the ags. I think it tears the lawn up alittle. I have a pair on my 140 and they like to bite in! They look sweet though! BUT maybe I am wrong about it since I dont use my mowers for mowing

Bar tires will grip better than turf tires. But when they do spin when mowing things can get pretty ugly.

I'm not sure if I'm going to use it for mowing or not. I got it mostly for blowing snow and hauling wood. But I may mow with it just to give it some use this summer.

Ok finally got the computers here working here so here we go! I had a great time with all of you and want to Thank everyone for coming. My hats off to Ron and Mark for helping me with the set up and a great big Thank You to Pierce Lumber for the big logs. I want to thank Wendell for enough noodles that I will not have to buy mulch for quite come time and want to know what you would like done with those clutch shoes that you left on my bench. I am looking forward to cutting with all of you again soon.

Sweet!

You got some nice pics there Wendell. What saws did you get to run?

As for the potential bar tires on your JD tractor, be sure to post pics!! I've got two 317's that each have special duties. One is the mower, the other is the tower.

Besides mine, I think I just ran Mark's 797 and longbar's 111.

I got to run Marks two 125's and the 797 in a test to see which one was most impressive to a "disinterested party". Although they were all great saws the one with the adjustable carb was a real horse. It had power to burn. The stock one was pretty awesome also, and the 797 was the slowest, but it had a skip chain on it. After that Grandpa Tractor really ruined me for life when he let me run his Dolmar 7900 and the Dolmar big bore. As many of you know I have a 6401 that I bought with thoughts of going bigger, but it runs so well I have put that off. JD showed me the error in my thinking. Now to be fair, part of the reason that these two are almost frightening in their cutting power is that JD is a fearful good chain sharpener, to the point that you better be hanging on to the saw when it hits the wood cause it just grabs hold and digs. Of the two saws the 7900 was the most impressive, but the only thing stock on that thing is the kill switch, what a beast. We really had a great time thanks to Mike, Ron, and Mark, and all the work that they did to get things ready. JR

I ran both of his 7900. What a difference between the two.

After running Marks SP125s I came back home and ordered some gaskets to hopefully put my SP125 back in service. I just hope I can find an adjustable carb some where for it. That one ran very strong.

I enjoyed the pictures - well, most of them; gotta get that boy some suspenders. :msp_ohmy:

Nexy year there will be no sweat pants allowed at my GTG!!:hmm3grin2orange:

I think one was stock and the other was ported. the ported one cut fast but crooked for me at least. Heavy fuel's 064 was pretty impressive too.

To bad the person running the saw is a Husky man. But that saw makes me want to put a Dolmar in the line up.
