Well I finally got around to making the first cut which took 55 min. 27' at average width of 30". Six inches a minute is as good as I could get. These 2 x 8's and 10's were on site so I did it this way. We're going to pull them off with a wench stack/sticker then bring on the coeds at a later date. I'll schedule the next hottest day

Nice. It looks like perfect weather. This is the time to be milling.

I can't spend all day here at about 45 min. per cut though I did get back there last Friday and made cut # 2.

That would make one hell of a bar.

That is awesome. Two thumbs up for the ambitious undertaking. I figure with a winch on a trailer you could just pull those right on from the end. So how many tanks of fuel do you go through for 1 cut?

And how many wenches do you have to operate a winch?

I think Four tanks of fuel in my 880 is more than a gallon. Are you letting that saw rest in between fueling? Wow I bet your hands and ears are still vibrating.

That's a big Slab. I Like to use pipe,Golf balls, and Furniture dollies to roll them If I can. My favorite is Innocent bystanders if people want to Gock and ask questions I put them to work. They'll think twice about comparing their Wild thing to my setup.

Not resting the saw at all. As a rescue/demolition saw it was designed to run WOT 24/7 at 25:1. If I burn it up I'll get another. Sounds foolhardy indeed but it's kickin' tail no doubts. Here is a shot of the clutch.
