Yeah yeah I used the skip today its ok. Still not full comp but at least not so many teeth to file .. buckin logs on a muddy landing tends to dull things... like teeth ... my brain ....

Jr the idea is not so many cutters ......therefore less chips so won't bog down as easy ......also less drag so saw will cope better if ya running slightly bigger bars


semi skip also less kick back ......but never used one so Roberte over to you there

I HATE those semi chisel chains

you.

LOL! I left home when I was 19... ended up in Arkansas a couple years later. The owner of the sawmill up the street hired me just to humiliate me. However, he'd never met someone like me, and 6 months later I was the full time turner on a manual mill...all day (5) days a week. Then I was turned on to carrying out logs on my shoulder and that led me straight into logging.

I was running my own show cutting for the same mill..I had gotten fired for fighting and went full time logging for a few years. The sawmill owner's Son was killed one night, he had been the sawyer up there for years. I was contacted by the owner to come back and help stabalize the situation, ended up staying and sawing for him the next 9 years.

I never had any help after I left home, never had any gov hand outs, never been late on a payment either...just worked my butt off. You asked about how I knew the smell of a chicken house...I've done some pretty rough stuff to survive. I am proud of myself though, things could have gone in some seriously wrong ways. I own 54 acres and a everything I have has come from money generated from sawmiling, logging and any other random manual labor job I would come across.

They just seem jumpy or something.. I have one ....buried in the bottom of my tool box its even a stihl chain... At first I attributed it to being of german make .... :hmm3grin2orange:
