From what I understand I have my own tartan. And my family/ clan's tartan . Our castle is on the shore of Loch Ness.

Maybe that's why I logged and cut timber on Kuiu Is. 11 times while living at Rowan Bay. :msp_wink:

Again my opinion but the 880 etc won't cut much quicker but it has more grunt ........I guess really it depends what ya falling and what bar ya wanna pull. If it big old growth ya gonna fall (or big in general) where the saw gonna be buried in the stick then weight not so much an issue (well packing it is lol) and the bar size and grunt will be of help/necessary but if ya falling quickly and smaller things then weight/speed is an issue and would suggest a 066/660 would be more use and give ya higher production

My only big saw is a STIHL 090 and it only crawls out from the bottom of the pile of saws in my shop once or twice a year for a particularly large tree. Weight is not really an issue because I will be spending a couple of hours to most of the day getting that tree on the ground and then bucked up. In fact one big tree will usually mean an all day job. Heck I will be carrying more fuel and oil, water, axes/wedges, lunch, etc. than the saw itself weighs.

I agree with ya .......I guess I didn't say things right ........and yep packing all the rest of the kit is a pain .......I meant really that a saw like an 880 etc won't cut any faster than a 660 .......they were/are meant for (090 880 etc) falling exactly what your talking about not for high production falling (lot of trees falled in a day)


Having a big saw is cool and yup it something I have and like (ok not got the big stihls) juss not for everyday (well unless ya falling big stuff)

 

[bustedup]

found out why I can't get full skip chain lol..........new legislation here .......
