Not on my property. I have 2 400-500 year old live oaks which are at least 7-8' DBH, but I'm really hoping they outlive me. I just like big-ass saws. They just sound right and feel right. As I have said, If I was really sawing a lot I would use a much smaller saw. If you're only sawing for 2 hours, even a girlie man such as myself can handle the weight. There is no rationality involved. There is almost always a pretty big gulf between what one needs and what one likes

ok ya better hide the oaks lol we might juss send ya for parts or sumthing lol......and when ya return oops we falled em ......so sorry but we was juss testing your new saws lol

This is partially off topic but not entirely. And since we're not all men here, I'll play it as cool as I can. There is no intended offense, but I have to know...

Up north, when a group of men are drinking and wrenching on a truck.. Is it okay to "find" a toilet behind the garage or out in a corner of the yard where no one can see ya?

Believe it or not, I'm asking for a reason. I have two buddies from Deleware, one moved to the Houston area. The three of us were working on a Ford 6.0 and tossing back some Alaskan Amber Ale. I asked if it was alright to find a restroom behind the garage. They both stopped in their tracks and looked at me like I was crazy, then hesitently decided it was alright. Down here, I'd rather someone use the restroom in the back yard than get their greasy paws all over the door knobs.

Long winded, I know.. But I'm curious, as well as serious. Or as serious as you can be when asking a question like this

Don't know if Warshington counts as "The North" but is in the northern part of the PNW... Any way talking to a tree or fence is not really a big deal around here... it is if your in the city... Have a friend that was caught by a local news crew drunk and wizzing on a building in Seattle, didn't help he was waving to the camera... on the other side of the coin have a picture of a different friend of mine peeing on my fence while talking to the neighbor... on the other side of the fence...

And as far as the south goes... whatever... closest I got while an adult was Oklahoma... not impressed but I was up for the better part of 72 hours on the drive there, so my opinion could be tainted... Been as far as the Virginia coast and maybe the Carolina's but I was pretty small then and don't remember any of it. Any way the point is when in Rome do as the Vandals or better yet the Celts... or was it as the Romans? The one that means do as they do and don't ##### to loudly about bad food and worse sanitation...

laters dudes gotta go sun is up lol

 

[tramp bushler]

All 394 s came with decomp buttons. I called it The magic blue button. . Saw sounds good Jon.

 

[tramp bushler]

Thanks, it's a cool saw, but to be honest all I did was buy the thing. I had actually put a bid on an 084 and lost. I was depressed so put a bid on this one. when it's broken in and tuned kinda nasty it should absolutely scream. I kinda
want to pull the muffler just to admire the porting, but I'm resisting. My 385 feels much better balanced and "tighter", but the 394 is big and loud and rough and I like it. Thanks again

The 394 s were all Floppy. But trust me. You won't be pulling the handle bars off it!! . When I started running 394 s I could hold them 1 hand and reach out and start a boring cut with a 36" Oregon Shiney bar. Can't do that any more but I can with a 390 with a Oregon LW bar. Youhave a better saw than an 84 .
Now guess what you NEED?
Its not another saw. But they cost about the same. .

 

[tramp bushler]

Well good night guys. I spent about 6 1/2 hours in the spurs today and the Tramp is tired. Clint, glad u made er. Just keep lookin up and watch your tip.

 

[twochains]

ughhhh!!!! damn....did I get run over yesterday? Ain't kickin' my heels so high this morning! A shot of coffee and I should come around a bit. I have a dust headache... the woods have turned to talcum powder. Gonna try and make it till around 1 and call it a good week.

That's nuts. I'm the weakest man on this thread, but not the weakest man in the world, and I can't even imagine using that thing one handed

Definitely! The price really varies though. Hugh Grant probably paid used wild thing money for his most famous one, but I'd be happy to pay used 026 money for higher quality service! I'll be embarrassed if you're talking about something totally different:embarrassed:

 

[JakeG]

Jon, maybe he's talking about a logger's outfit.. Or carbide chaps

 

[roberte]

Hugh Grant, (modern reference) that's funny.

 

[treeslayer2003]

Jake, I think them boys musta been from one of the northern del. big towns. the southern del. farm boys wouldn't think twice bout that. more to do with city or country me thinks. Jon I tried out a new 084 n I thought it was a slow turd. you got a good saw 394 was a good un. I can't bore cut with 1 hand with nothing I have so don't feel bad man.

 

[slowp]

Bad shot of a local timber faller one handing a 460 (probably) because he's dealing with a bear trap.

I've also seen a chaser one hand the landing saw.

 

[northmanlogging]

One interview down, 1.5 to go... Have the job just want to keep my options open... gonna take next week off and unwind a bit... only problem is the first one is accross the street from an offroad truck builder and supply type outfit... Bad enough I spend all my money on chainsaws, firearms, skidders and booze, now I'll need really big tires and a 32" lift on my two wheel drive crummy...

Not bad that's less then 2 days looking for werk...

 

[dooby]
