Powersaws - what's everyone using?

[tr21triton]

Looks like way to much saw for you my friend..

I know, why do you think I'm in such good shape ?

Here's an 8ft Simonds 'Royal Chinook' . . . . it's never been 'in wood'.
This is a falling saw, bucking saws were a little deeper with a straight back.
Cardio? you bet!

Went for a drive in the woods... scouting for trash for our non-profit so we can organize volunteer cleanups...this is why I bring a saw...

First one I cut. Second one is going to need a least a D9.

And yes, 17.5 acres in Oregon 22 minutes from town is awesome. We're right on the edge of the Willamette National Forest.

Wife and I were in Willamette for our honeymoon, then to Seattle. Beautiful

Not familiar with your tree species in Oregon . . . first looks like a Western Red Hemlock, secound a Douglas Fir.
Nice country!

I'm pretty terrible with species identification...but yes, definitely would agree.

We had a big grand fir go down across our 150 road off 1802. Wish I had brought my tractor.

Technically that's the second part... here's the fir-st. JIC.

Comfort breeds complacency.

Same thing with electric saws.

There are 2 tools that I won’t let people borrow. One is a pressure washer and the second is a chain saw.

I've got a saw for that crusty old 3120xp with a 42" cannon bar all I see there is an opportunity to get some free firewood

There's nothing quite like a big Husky with lots of crack! Walkerized?

not yet... was picking up raspberry stalks for my folks and the farmer I was getting them from had a shed full of old saws and that's how I came to own it. I gotta do a full rebuild on it still. Parts for my old 075 stihl came in first so that'll get done first, then the 3120.

After that I'll turn my effort back to an old stihl 200T to make into my new jeep saw

Yup, no way I would loan those out. I repair small engines on the side for mainly friends/family, and I see this all the time. Saws seized from being run with straight gas, bars and chains cooked from being run with no bar oil, and pressure washer pumps fried from being run too long with no water. Had a family friend bring me a Husqvarna that was locked up tight. He let his neighbor borrow it, and even provided him with a can of mixed fuel. Buddy still managed to fill it from the wrong can and straight gassed the saw. Ended up needing a new piston and cylinder.

Yup, I loaned a "friend" my chainsaw that I kept in the original box after every use. When I asked for it back after a month or so, he did a drive by and left it on the driveway. Looked like it was outside for the entire time, box all wet and molded. The saw was all rusty and would not start, it went straight into the garbage (no name saw).

Three things you never lend out: Powersaw, pickup truck, and wife . . . . . in that order!
