I was kinda worried they wouldn't show what I wanted... the background is what I was looking at...not the scrub stuff

 

[treeslayer2003]

The pine is in the middle, you can't really even see them. I will get better pics in the morning. The pine will be what I am after first, then those oak. The oak should be 5 to 6 cutters.

I don't wanna sound like a misery guts but ..........guys learn to use a saw and be accurate with one before ya go running big bars.

Graeme, in theory I completely agree with you. However, even though I'm a terrible faller, I really have fun with big saws and long bars. I know a 357 or 361 with a 20" will cut and buck a 40" tree, a 385 or 394 with a 42" is more fun!

hello randy. cat turn on the ac man. i'm with busted on this, the 288 was a much better saw than a 385 in stock form. 394 was a bad ass saw. prolly better than a new 395 but I don't know for sure as I ain't run a new one.

Sure, but of you had a good running 385 would you buy a 288?

There a wee bit of a diff there bro .......you fall professionally lol and come across sticks that need bigger saws and bars.


I really do get the wanting big saws and bars juss seen to much I guess

That's crazy talk for a part time redneck! Just because all I need is a Ranger doesn't mean a 3500 dually wouldn't be fun!

I'm just talkin ####. Real fallers don't carry more saw than they need, but y'all know I'm not a real faller!

Honestly I don't know. I didn't see much sign of fire. The canopy is real tall, it may have shaded it out.

You and Roberte should go on the road as Paul Sr. and Paul Jr. impersonators!

If we can get the same "talented" escorts they can pull.

yes, if I found a cherry 288 I would. I ran one when they came out. also bought a 385 when they came out, no comparison. all the new saws are a disappointment, all brands.

real high ground may have sumthin to do with it.

welcome back Robert, ya get over the shock of seeing me.

No not scared. Out and about can't read and drive.

Busted question.
Gas and go on both saws , just depends on what needs to fell first.
28 and 33 inch bars, big enough for where I'm at, but with the 660 running , I can always go up.
Careful of what you ask for running big bars

 

[twochains]

I'm not feeling right, HuskStihl I deleted my new vid off yer thread...too much bs going on with limbing and such. I can pm it to ya er something if ya want. I'm out for tonight I think.
