Oh for sure! I agree. ☝️ That's why I run and only run aviation fuel in my saws.

I was just curious about the pre mixed gas of the shelf. As I myself have never used or even seen it before.
I’m going to start using avgas when it goes unleaded, which should be later this year depending on the price…I’m sure the government will make a complete mess of the transition….
 
Sometimes our brains play tricks on us when we look at photos. If somebody sees that wedge still in place that is what they are seeing. Why I referred to is as an optical delusion. Many times multiple people can look at the same pic and see different things.
No argument here! ☝️ I'm just saying that the big snag is properly faced up and ready to fall. Plain and simple. There is no unnecessary wood in the face cut at all. 👍 If some others can't see it? Oh well, I really don't know what else to say. I'm not trying to criticize any one here on this thread at all! If anyone's taking it that way? I definitely apologise. 🙏
 
A good friend of mine and also an excellent Sawyer. Joined forces with the dark side and is now running those Swede Saws! He was kind enough though. To hook me up with all his leftover German gear!

It all includes an assortment of all kinds of new and used spare parts. Several bars in great shape including a Stihl "Big Block" 36" Cannon for my 088. A running 170. A recently blown older original 066, and even a go pro with multiple accessories!👍

I am in debt to him now! I really don't know how I'm going to repay him in return, but it will be something good and worthy of all this gear and equipment. That I can promise! What a great guy he is!👍 To bad he's gone to the dark side of the force! 😂

Nice score man.
So you're buddy must not know those stihl 3003 mount bars can be used on the huskys with an adapter :p.
Tell him I said congratulations :cheers:.
Now I'd like to consider myself pretty dam good with a power saw when it comes to cut'n big timber! Not the best by any means, but pretty dang good! ☝️ However, if any any of you guys out there on this website feel the same about themselves? Think again, because this chick could probably school 98% of us! 👍

View attachment 994074Dam she's fine! My hard hat is off with much respect for this lady smoke jumper! 😍😍😍 Cut safe, stay sharp, and be aware!
That's awesome.
Is the bypass intentional?
 
En d of the old house scrounge. I left one round off the butt end and about 5' of the butt that is over 30". About ruined my back loading that heavy maple. MS441 did a great job both bucking and noodling. I may go back for the rest some day when I really feel masochistic. Still feel the strain loading/unloading tonight.

Yes Chipper. He's well aware of adapter plates that make it possible to use the bar on a Husky, and believe it or not. He even actually mentioned it! However, why would he bother fiddle farting around and slow set up time and production with un nessasary accessories if also having several 36" bars designed for Huskies? When he can just hook up a fellow cutter and friend that actually needs and can use a big block Stihl bar. Right?👍

Furthermore, you may consider that a full face bypass cut in those little pecker poles you harvest for fire wood, but in the size timber that woman is cutting, and especially in a burn! that tiny piss ant dutchman ain't s**t! 😂😂😂😉

I think it's a stale package of rice crispy treats that she is trying to break apart.

😂Oh my God!😂😂 Your to much😂my sides hurt now! You can't be serious!😂 I mean come on! I was thinking she's cut'n up an old giant Reese's PBC is more like it! Sawing up stale rice crispy treats is for rookie Sawyer's! She's well past that level!🤣

Agreed. Looked closer and it is indeed a good clean wedge cut.

The first time I looked at the pic I saw the wedge still in place. Didn't fit that someone trained and experienced on a hot shot team would do that, so I kept looking until my brain opened up to the real picture. Sometimes you need to look away and come back to the pic later.

Fiddle fartting around, your the guy who was talking about shortening a chain lol. You mount the adapter and you're done, unless you want to put a husky bar on, then you pull it off. I don't put them on and off unless I'm testing chains.

Seems kinda rude, when I was asking so I could learn. That being said, I usually spend a lot of time cleaning up my cuts, since I'm not in a production situation/ I have plenty of time, so why not as it's such a small amount of the overall time of the job. Also I figure it helps make up for my back cut not always being placed perfectly.
I will use a Dutchman to shift the top around another tree at times, or to get a balance tree moving once I've place a wedge, but I very rarely wedge anything.
I should buy some larger wedges though as I've only got 4 or 5 here and only one large one.

Now I can't un- see it! Lol

Your absolutely right Chipper! It was rude of me to get arogant and cocky. For that I apologize! Nobody knows it all when it comes to cut'n timber! Nobody!!! And if they say they do? That just goes to show how much they really don't know. I'm not usually like that! I posted that remark in the evening after a couple cold ones and ran at the mouth a little to much. I should have definitely shown a bit more respect. I've always respected your opinion's and advice, so I do apologize! Hope I didn't cause any hard feelings bud. 👍

Cut safe, stay sharp, and be aware!

No hard feelings, totally forgiven, well as far as it's up to me ;).
I know for fact I have a lot to learn, even by her, about cutting. It would be awesome to get out and run with some of the local fallers here, unfortunately I don't think I could keep up with guys like @Logger nate up in the hills, too far out of shape, heck I could get winded climbing a "Michigan mountain" :laugh: . If I had a chance to do it, I'd try to keep up though :).
