Weekend Ramblings - Friends, old saws, new saws, and firewood - Several VIDEOS

[blsnelling]

This past weekend we went up to Findlay where my wife's from. You might remember my 67 year old friend Dave and his two sons, Duane, and Daniel. They're the ones that collect old Homelites, and use them almost exclusively for cutting their firewood. They burn a lot too. I got to run my Homelite 750 for the first time, which it did flawlessly. I also got to run the Pioneer P60 and the MS460 Raffle Saw. You'll also see several Homelites: C7, 775, XL700. Just being back in the woods working with friends was the most relaxing and enjoyable thing I've done in a while. It was a beautiful day to boot.

Glad to see I didn't tick you off too much in the 441 thread today

BTW, that P60 is perhaps the torquiest saw I've ever run. Believe it or not, it's stronger than the 750, seriously! I love that thing. I need to get a 32" B&C on it. .404 or 3/8? That's 3/8 that on it now.

Those pioneer saws are real torque monsters. I really want another one. That looks like a great time.

It was absolutely gorgeous! It was quite cool in the woods, just like you'd want it for working.

Why heck no Brad. That was that, this is this. Nothing personal. Its just saws. A little bickering is good for all of us every once in while. Gets the blood goin....LOL. Or should I say spirited debate... Anyways, good thread....

Anyone else ever run a Homelite 750 and Pioneer P60/P61/P62 back to back? How would you compare them?
