Dammit, no bullets here either. Besides, I'm too busy wiping the coffee off of the monitor and keyboard...Gary, that was FUNNY.

The mods need to give a little window to tell us how many bullets we have in the cylinder. Gotta save one for those "special" occasions! :cheers:

Bob, you got the bad number on your post count! :eek: :eek: :eek:

Yeah, I saw that. It came up on the Eternal Love 441 thread. I guess I could always tell Stanley "the devil made me do it".
 
Hey wait a minute there buddy....I've got a couple of full wraps...and there are plenty of situations where I was glad I had it.

That's the problem, you carry this obnoxious handled saw around all day, just so a few times a week it can come in handy. Sort of like training wheels for a saw.

I don't want to disrespect you guys that need them to cut in tough situations, everybody has different skill levels. Shoot look at all the fools that run 50cc saws, and I'm not even talking about women.

It's bad enough you have the full wrap to deal with all day, it's got to be a beotch running a saw in a skirt. The chips must fly up and stick in your panties, and we won't even talk about the problems associated with high heels in the woods.

I was also going to ask if you need to install one of those tip gaurds, that prevent kickback, and safety chain when you have a full wrap.

Carefull there guy....:angry: ....I spend a good amount of time helping my husband out,whether he's clearing timber or taking out a single tree over someone's house...I'm 100% woman...But I wear Carhart overalls and saw chaps.I also own several pairs of steel toed boots,and have accumulated quite a collection of hardhats and climbing helmets.

:hmm3grin2orange: You dummy, thats what them extra large w. co. side covers are for.(keeping the saw dust out of yer panties) Whats really bad is to get your heel caught in your fullwrap trying to walk up a steep hillside. This jerks the saw around making the tip guard get hung up in your skirt, that makes you inadvertantly bite your donut in half and loosing it down the hill. Or so they say.;)
 
C'mon over flat landers - keep up if you can.
When I state keeping up that just packing my gas and oil!:hmm3grin2orange:

It's all good fun!
 
There is a wrap handlebar/long bar disclaimer around here somehwere... lemme see... found it!:popcorn:

"1. Any 3/4 wrap handlebar, full wrap handle bar, and any chainsaw bars longer than 28" that are being shipped East of the Mississippi River shall have written permission from the governing State to which said items are being shipped.

2. User shall upon receipt, take items to the nearest "wrap handle and long bar inspection station" where they will have to show 3 forms of identification (a belt buckle is not a form of identification), a blood sample (for DNA test to see if there is any West Coast blood in you), proper chainsaw powerhead to attatch item to, and a $50.00 inspection fee. Blood sample will take approximately 90 days to process.

3. After the 90 day waiting period, and a positive West Coast blood match, user may pick up powerhead with attached items from inspection station. User must then attend a 3 week training course at one of 5 of the Full-wrap saw colleges located in either Columbus Ohio, Albany New York, Savannah Georgia, Greensboro North Carolina, or Lexington Kentucky. Once the 3 week course is completed with a passing grade a full wrap/long bar certificate will be issued to the user.

4. If the blood test comes back negative. User will be given their $50.00 back in the form of a Wal-Mart gift certificate to use toward the purchase of a green saw of their choice."

Sorry you guys... I couldn't resist!!!:jester: :jester: :jester:

A disadvantage of cutting the back cut higher, especially on large trees and shallow nothes, is it's easy to cut through your hinge and not know it.


Only if you don't know how to use those funny lines on the sides of your saw. Gunning sights must be a west coast thing too though.

In my opinion...If you don't know what those black lines are for,then don't be trying to fall trees.:deadhorse:
 
Yes sirs FHCW, Tek9tim, Gasoline71!!!!!!!

May be the best post in this thread! And of course, I can't rep it!
I couldnt rep em either???????
Agreed, those sights are invaluable when you get commited and you gotta gun one off the stump,,,,, and having an extraordinarily good running saw with sharp chain is equally important,,,,, Wooooh talk about a rush :blob2: :blob2: :blob2:

:hmm3grin2orange: Why not make them pack the axe, wedges, tree jack, and lunch box. too. Make it a real test. If they do okay then they can pack the saw, too.;)

Do they have tree jacks in the East?

Hey, East Coasters, listen up-

Sometimes our trees here are so large, you can't wedge them. In that case, you cut a recessed ledge at the stump beneath the back cut, and hydraulically jack the tree over. You've got to watch your pressure gauge to make sure the tree is in fact moving. They make them so you can carry them on your back. But I suppose you guys could fit them in your "man purses."

Next time, I'll tell you how to read the gauge, and what it's telling you.... :ices_rofl:

(Sorry, I couldn't stay out of the East/West fued any longer! :ices_rofl: )

I've started several times to buy one of those things....But my approach is sure fire.....I take a Big Shot...shoot a line to the very top of the tree,then winch it over...I've never used a wedge for falling anything other than big tops and snags.
But the rope trick only gets the tree going,it's still up to the faller to hit the mark...Many people believe you can set the rope and use the rope to put the tree anywhere you wany....But cut a bad lead and you'll see what happens.
