    Default chainsaw

    Man I love the sound of a stout chainsaw, I've been listening to one in the distance for the last half hour.
    The kind that hardly pulls down any rpm as it's sawing through a 20" trunk, badass....
    Reminds me of a boondocking sled sound...

    I just watched a You Tube of " Redneck Fails " and some hoople head was trying to trim his shrubs by tieing a chainsaw to a rope and spinning it over his head ???? What a hoot.

    Heck, I'm a fib and have 10 working chainsaws. Got to have a spare! Most are hand me downs from Pop. When it nolonger runs right, I get it for Christmas. He cuts A LOT of wood, heating his home and two large buildings. The guy's 68 and still cuts and splits all his own.
    The "Baddest" I have is a 24" bar that I removed (to mess with the neighbor) and put on an 18"bar/chain and sprocket (got lots of 18"bars and chains). He was amazed how it outcut his 18" highend saw. You have to put your weight into it to get the RPMs under control.

    The bigger the bar, the bigger diameter stuff you can cut. The bigger the bar, the more power it takes. Big trees=big bars. To put a smaller bar on a saw that's rated for a large bar, ex...an 18" bar on a saw rated for a 24" bar = Giddy Up and Get er done!!!!

    Love the picture snocrazy, of the guy who can afford the professional Husky with a 36 inch bar, but can't afford any safety equipment at all to wear with it.

    A little overkill there isn't it?? Stihl pole saw that extends to 15ft works great. Probably a little cheaper too!

    I just like to be able to hold onto the saw rather then a pole

    Thanks for the reminder, guess it's time to cut wood for next winter for our outdoor woodburner. That chainsaw music is awewsume, especially when it is happening across the road. Can't ride sled now, but busy doing other stuff, Guess we will wait til fall, cooler and ticks might be gone NOT!!! But I REALLY like the sound of the woodsplitter. Music to my ears!
    Cut and split wood verses fill the propane tank? Built our house in 07, had the propane tank filled, still have 35% left. Bet they(propane company) hates us!

    Burn Baby Burn! (in the wood burner - no forest fires please) In the same boat. LEarned that they charge you rental for the tank when you dont buy a minimum amount. Looking for a usedtank so thay can shove their 100$ a year where dah sun dont shine!
