It's a Pacific Northwest thing... you wouldn't understand!

He he, I removed the small dawgs that was on my 361, and never missed them..........:biggrinbounce2: :biggrinbounce2:

It is all about the application, as usual. :rockn:

And with your application, you wouldn't miss them. You're right about that. Dogs are about leverage. On your smaller diameter trees, thinner bark, cutting with shorter bars, the saw is much more magagable without dogs. And as long as your muffler is stock, with the stock port, you should be OK as far as not getting your muffler too close to the wood.

I don't dog in when I'm clearing vine maple or sh** stick alder out here. In fact, on vine maple, the dogs can actually grab the tree as it's going over and you've got to yank your saw out or it'll get tangled in the tree.

howdy guys (& gals) i just joined this site.its a good one.the pacific northwest is my favorite vaca spot!!!!.i got hooked on it during my first trip there.big wood country.i go out there every year now,and would like to spend some steady time there when i retire,but untill then i'll have to get by-by way of vaca travel.sure is different than new england.on my first trip out there i was invited by a distributor friend of mine to come try out a new saw husqvarna was feild testing in the proto-type stage (3120) that was a treat of a lifetime for me.thats why i go back every year,i've met many new people there and continue to do so every trip.on last trip i met one of the members here that lives in cresent city,ca. so the list just keeps gettin' better & better! sure is the best place to be that i found so far! i thought i would drop a note about "it's a pacific northwest thing...you wouldn't understand!" cause i do!

PNW great this weekend!

Supposed to be a big storm through here this weekend... well, we seem to have missed it. Threatened to rain yesterday, a few drops maybe. Today? Sunny, and about 65 degrees!

Spring has sprung here. The trees are starting to leaf out or bloom. Daffolils are up. Ah... summer is coming!

Just light rain here in Seattle, not much wind either.

But 3.4 inches of rain at Mt Baker in last 36 hours, and still coming down hard. http://www.nwac.us/products/OSOMTB
52 degrees at 4450 feet Crystal Mt base. The storm tracked north as Mt Hood Meadows only got 1/2 inch of rain today.

West End got dumped on. All my rivers are blown.

Very nice mid-Peninsula here today.

 

[Lakeside53]

We "were" in the rain shadow, but it's dumpng like crazy now. 60 degrees.. slugs are out, must be spring... 44 up at Steven pass (4000 feet), so that will all be comming down the rivers tonight, together with some portion of the 90 inches of base... Might have to put the ski gear away for the year.

Got washed out myself - planted about 60 trees in the past two days... 30 of the Xmas trees (2017 onwards), the rest to replace my trees downed in the windstorm/cleanup.

 

[RiverRat2]

Andy do you cut those Christmas trees or do you root ball & pot them ????

 

[STIHL-KID]

The weather has been really warm around here. Today was 61 degrees with a slight breeze........I guess we missed the big rain storm? Yep, Spring is coming!
Saw a lot of quail running around today, also the robins are back in great numbers. Time to dust off my fishing gear!!!

Cut... Plant some each couple of years... 0.70c each now (Noble firs).. haven't had to buy a $120 Xmas tree in 12 years. Even gave a few away..

How big do those Noble firs come at 0.70c each......I need to figure out something to plant that will grow fairly quick and hide my wood piles from the road...I don't want to start getting visit's from DHEC

 

[Lakeside53]

They are about 3 inches...


If you want FAST, get Leyland Cypress.... 4 feet a year after they get going..... maybe more where you are.
