Gene Howe Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 I think he's done that a few times. Gunny, Cal and FlGatorwood 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Morris Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 That was pretty amazing Rich, thanks for sharing, though it's a wonderful thing what he can do with that chainsaw, I'd still take a mill over that method!!!!!! That's too much work!!! Sheez, but it's completely amazing the dimensions he's getting with that machine, what an eye and feel for the machine!!!!! One thing for sure, he can travel light and get into the forests and cut it on the spot, building a home where the trees once where. Fast, and light.

Wayne Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 I loved this. Great lesson in practice makes perfect. I'll stick with a mill though, much less waste. Thanks Rich. FlGatorwood and Cal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerald Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Ok I could do that on a two foot log, but no way for a 8 footer. And How about that saw, definitely a loggers saw. Gunny, FlGatorwood, Cal and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing skill this guy has and a heck of a good use of resources available. FlGatorwood, Artie and Cal 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Buskirk Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Can't quite tell for sure but that's a 47" bar and chain on either an old Stihl 066 or 088 which depending on which it is would weigh in at between 70-85 lbs. My later model MS880 with the 47" bar chain combo goes 83 lbs. The MS880's like hanging onto an outboard boat motor without a boat attached. It sounds like a dirt bike, and can be heard 1/4 mile away! FlGatorwood, Adam Welker, Cal and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlGatorwood Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 Yep, that is one heavy chain saw. To me, chain saw is pretty wasteful because of the size of the kerf. But, I need to buy these folks some safety toe shoes. Thankfully, I didn't see any toes missing. Cal and Gunny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My neighbor that cuts trees done as a side job has a big one he uses for the larger work. He loves to tease me about when am I going to borrow it. Yeah, the pins in my wrist and arm are humming like a bridge in rush hour just thinking about it.

Larry Buskirk Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 @Woodbutcherbynight, I'll set the MS880 up with the 59" bar/chain for that small job you've got lined up. That brings it up to 94 lbs. FlGatorwood and Gunny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
