Removal Of The Dawg???

[rahtreelimbs]

On another thread Dozerdan stated that alot of loggers remove the outside dawg on their saws. I like having both dawgs on my saws. Why do they do this?

I don't know Rich, I personally like having both dogs on my saw. On my Stihls that didn't come with an outside dog I added one.

Is it removed so it dosent dig into ones shoulder when carried upon it?

Rich
The East Coast loggers think a little different then the West Coast guys. The guys out west like the large dogs and the full wrap handles and long bars. We like the half wrap handles, short bars and short dog.
When felling a tree we like to keep as close to the ground as possible. The closer you get to the ground, the more flare the tree will have. If you remove the lower dog, it gives you about 1" more of usable bar length.

John, In 50 words or less........................WHY is there a chainsaw on your crapper?

It could serve as a way to get over constipation, you look at that saw, and it scares the sh!t out of you. Just a thought.

That could be a valid reason for some but then it would be best to remove the inner dog as it would be the one digging into your shoulder. The oustide dog would not touch you.
