Before I forget....

For you guys taking Rt 30 on west from Mansfield/ Rt 71, you will want to watch your speed from Galion to Upper Sandusky. This area is heavily patrolled, it is a rare occasion that I do not see a Patrolman in the median in more than one place on that stretch of road.
 
Wow. This GTG seems to be shaping up quite nicely.

If Guido is in, I'm there!:msp_wub:

May even have a nice little 015L power head for his hedgetrimmer attachment as a peace offering for all the pokes and jabs I tend to correctly spell and punctuate when I'm in the mood to remind him not to take himself too seriously...cuz I sure as hell don't!

(Hi, Guido. Whatchya doin'?:ices_rofl:)

Yep. May hafta make this one just so ya'll can pile on for turds n' grins, but I can take it. Be great to put more faces with more names.

Gotta bring a Mac to get in, right?:msp_biggrin:

I can do that (044) ..., and bring a 702VL and a 70E for additional comparison,

So is the guy with the dyno gonna be there?:msp_tongue:

I have a 702 and run a 3/8 8T with 20". I dont need to compare a 702 to the 445 372 just a 044 440.

I did compare the 702 to a dolmar 6800i though. 702 is what it is.

In the wood tells me what I want to know in the cut. Numbers are just numbers if it dont show up in the wood in the cut.
 
That 702/6800 comparison was a relative one for me as the 702 is a low rpm torquer and the 120Si/6800i is more of a higher rpm chainsaw.

Allowing for this the 702 had a 8 pin rim and the 6800 a 7 pin rim.

In the cut, the 6800 held a much higher rpm than the 702 but the rate of progress down through the log was about the same.

Just to listen you would have thought the 6800 was running off and leaving the Echo but it wasn't because of the different gearing.

I do hope you make it Randy, we've never met in person and I've always enjoyed reading your posts.

I'm not sure it's a good idea for me to come. I hate to cause a big stink........I'm a little down on Bradly right this second and have a hard time not saying exactly what I think.
 
Does anybody bave a 41" and 59" stihl bars for sale for an 880 or old school dual mount pattern that also fits 070 they could bring to the gtg? Message me if so. Thanks.

Well, I can respect not wanting to "cause a stink".

You probably know I do know Brad, and frankly I hate seein' the two of you having hard feelings, as I truly think it's a case of two good guys seeing the same situation two very different ways. And once the words start flying, disputes take on a life of their own (when the people involved are both sincere and passionate). I ain't been the type to pick sides, and won't change that here, but neither of you is entirely wrong here IMHO. I just wish others didn't feel the need to egg it on, but what the hell do I know...

Anyways, I'm sure a good time will be had by all, and hopefully by that time you'll decide to be there. :cheers:
