West Kentucky GTG 2011

[Chris J.]

Where have you been looking? I have been posted on here before.

I really am alot better looking then my avatar! (not saying much LOL) Go back and look at Seans gtg pictures, at least I have lost about 20lbs since then. :msp_tongue:

You should have made the trip Chris, I think I drove at least as far as you would have, at least it feels that way today.

Mark, it would've been great to meet you & the other fine gents/sawheads, but it just wasn't fiscally possible. The TN GTG is tempting, especially since I (actually Terry) 'have a horse in the race' so to speak, & it's two months away.


This is a subjective question, but which saw(s) performance really caught everybody by surprise?

didn't anyone get a pic of the cookie with the times on it???? i forgot to get one

Yep. Gotcha covered. I'll post up my pics and vids when I have a spare min. Had a great time as expected. I cheated and brought a camera instead of saw, but no excuses next time. I got the itch bad, just like last year. I WILL be bringing saws next time. Look out. :msp_scared:

Mitch is a one of kind.

I have one too, but im not smart enough to figure out this Iphone. Funny, I can download a vid to youtube in a matter of minutes with it, but cand download a pic.....

And yes, Mitch is one of a kind.

What are you going to do with the rest of the logs? I wouldn't mind coming up and cutting some more of it up.

Anytime my friend. I need to get started on next years firewood.

I figure that is where the rest of it will end up. Except for the cant I have left, im gonna use it for some test and tune.

This is a subjective question, but which saw(s) performance really caught everybody by surprise?

I think if most were looking, Mikes Dolmar 6400 pulling a 28" bar in that rock hard oak should have garnered some attention.

Jeremys Jred 490 was a ripper and Chris's Pioneer 700 will surprise as well.

I was pleasantly surprised with the 1984 model husky 154 that recently found it's way into my stable. I knew it was a ripper, but didn't know it was that fast.

Marks 5500H was a real strong runner as well. I thought chris's 056 Mag II was a real hoot to run. It had power to spare for sure.

And last but not least, Mikes big ol' Dolmar is a very, very strong saw. Lots of power to spare. Quite ridiculous with the 20" bar on it

 

[rburg]

I don't know how many people ran the 930 jonsered that Chris brought, but it was definitely one of the best I ran. My problem was running out of energy before I ran all the saws I wanted to run.

No doubt about that 154 being a super nice saw Jeremy. If you ever decide to part with it.................

If you like that 5500 Mark had there you should see what he has coming from across the pond!!!

I'm real tickled with that 9010 but it was kinda like having a gun at a knife fight with that 20" combo on it!!!:hmm3grin2orange:
I've got to work on the 32" chain that I have for it. As it stands right now that chain is JUNK!
It never has been right for the day I bought that saw.


I was kinda impressed with my 4200 placing second in a real nice class of 60cc saws while it was wearing a 28" bar and chain.
We all know how underpowered they are!!!


Thanks again Jeremy for a GREAT weekend!!!
I sure wish you could join us for the weekend of the 15th of May!
You would have a BLAST.

....and Chris's Pioneer 700 will surprise as well.

I wish that I had put that saw thru its paces more than I did. Next time.....

That said, rburg let me run his Jons 670. I've used one before and his reminded me why I liked it so much. Even though I screwed up the cant race, Mikes PP415 was quite a powerful saw.

Of course, I love the vintage stuff so putting Jeremy's Super 44 in a round was quite fun.

Mike, Did your camera ever show up? I decided to just leave my glasses. Jeremy will need them in another 15 or 20 years.

Yes!

Jeremy found it right where my dumb ass left it and is going to send it to me!!!

I should have included that one as well. I forgot because I didnt run it Sat, but I have ran it here at the house before. That thing is knee deep in guts and speed.

I tried to let him forget it when we unloaded the trailer late Sat night but he caught me. :hmm3grin2orange:

Needs some good clean up and inspection but I will show it by the weekend.
