Wood permits? You have to pay to cut? Is it federal ground?

 

[Todd Loosli]

Yes it sure is, nobody will let you cut on their ground, I have to go about 20 miles one way, pine is the flavor of the hills and 20" is a big tree. I do enjoy it and this year I have a new family of saws to take with me. Heal back heal.

I'm not a big fan of pine, I like oak. Have to clean the chimney a lot more when burning pine and I hate having to get on the house.
Finally got my fuel line in the mail for my 5200, so I can't wait to hear it run Saturday. [emoji16]

If I get my 5200 running, I'm gonna be grinning too much to worry about my back hurting, I'll take something for that after having fun.

What do you have to do to finish it

 

[Todd Loosli]

I have never cut anything but pine. From what I can see oak would be so much fun to cut, have a chance to run big saws

Just the fuel line and new decals. Not worried about decals yet, those, I'll get later. Still thinking about painting the top cover black.

This is a big oak for town. At least 70 years old .This neighborhood was a cornfield in 1948. The base is over 60" Would love to try a gear drive homie on it! I been looking at it for 25 years....

 

[Todd Loosli]

I well help you if you ever get the chance, I'll put my 34" bar on my best 4000 and give it a try, lol . Not sure if the 4000 would pull the 34, got it and the chain on a bid with no one, I like that kind.

You'll be the first person they'll come looking for if someone sneaks and cut it down.

I have one left oem but im sure i will have to replace some on my saws that are on the shelf....best looking idea i have seen to date....so not having a screen does not clog? looks pretty cool... how much are you asking i have 2 micros i got in and need to go through lines filters carbs etc.... in the next week or 2 if it ever stops raining......so i may need one or 2 wont know till i get them to that point....

 

[stubnail67]

sad thing is the nos are so old they sometimes disintegrate not long after you put it in..... had that happen to me... be better off with yours in that event as its a brand new duck bill....

 

[s sidewall]

I think the screen was for safety, not for clogging. If you're trying to stop something going into that screen, something just blowed and turned loose.

What seals up on the nut end?
