Ha! Like it already and ain't even put it to wood yet! I tried but couldn't even start it without using the decompression valve..it's got some snot to it. It revs and is LOUD, one of the previous owners already dual ported the muff. Saw has a little history, it was used pro logging in humboldt county california on them big trees. Only full wrap saw I have now. And I now found out I need a different scrench for the bar nuts, stock one won't fit in there. Might dig through the pile and find another one and hacksaw off the plug side. I won't be using it a whole lot, but I think for felling the big ones it will fit the bill. Simba for the take down and I'll use rhino for bucking of the big chunks and noodling, it weighs more, especially with that big bar, and just settle it into a big log and it self feeds right down. Both those saws got beaucoup power to spare for what I do, boy howdy.

Unless I stumble over a wicked deal I can't say no to, something over 100, maybe for milling if I ever get a chainsaw mill, this should do me for big saws now. I have two 65cc, a 74, an 80 and a 94.

* snort * I still like running the old poulan tophandle the best so far though...bwahahahaha
 
Zogg, if you're not gonna run the Husky all the time, an old offset box end wrench it the ticket for the bar nuts. On my full wrap Pioneer, I can't quite get even the stubby scrench in there.

That is a good idea, Steve! PMed u by the way.
 
I don't have any quality wood but I have a lot of pine and a nice view. Pretty overcast today so the tall mountains are obscured.
The 4-wheeler for size comparison, bunch of it all blocked up to dry. I cut a lot of it to 29" for my OWB but I can't split them yet. I need to build a longer splitter!

That is a lot of pine!!!!! And by the way, there is nothing wrong with pine----thats all some folks have in their area. You do with what you have! I lived in the wonderful state of Wyoming for a while and only had access to pine and got along just fine. You want to be sure it is well seasoned, but then any wood that you burn should be.
Really enjoyed seeing the pics-thanks.

I cut the wood for my OWB to 24". I too burn a lot of pine. It last longer than you would think and it helps to keep the coal build up under control. My splitter will split 4' sticks so I cut and split in 4' lengths and then cut those in half.

Nope. Just the little blue squared "there's supposed to be a picture here" question mark.
 
You thank us for looking and I give you a big thanks for posting, especially with pictures! I enjoy seeing the pics of others operation, saws, trees, surroundings, and equipment, etc. Love seeing those pics of cutting in the winter with snow and all. I cant wait to get some of that kind of weather as I like to cut and gather in those conditions. No bugs , no heat, no foliage and I can work hard and enjoy it. Looks like you have some great helpers , too. Its a good time when you can include the family in the "keeps us warm operation".

A little snow is good, but when you get 5 feet of it a year, well, you don't like it quite so much by March & April.

I agree with the helpers too, I like it when mine come out with us and make it a family operation (even if they're still little, 6 and 8). Lots more fun working together I find, and even if it doesn't go a LOT faster, it gets us into the bush together doing something productive as a group. Something we need more of in this day and age.

I used to live in a place where the average annual snowfall was around 110". I rather enjoyed it.

You mean that people still do that? I thought a family outing these days consisted of a stop at Mikey D's and going to the mall.
