Was helping my brother out on Wed, about 2 hrs from home. Had to clear a steep little hill so they can grade it. We dropped 3 Oaks and a Maple all over 20", and 4 White Pines from 20 - 30", plus several smaller trees including Beach and Hemlock. It was a little windy and we had to rope and pull them all because there was an out building an electric lines on the far side. The 30" White Pine was leaning the wrong way, and was the only one that worried me, but it pulled over just fine. I dropped each one on target.
My Maasdam Long Haul Rope Puller (w/120 ft of rope) really came through for us. My brother was so impressed with it he ordered one for himself after we got back. (Bailey's sells them).
We took them all down and cut them to 6' lengths in one day. I got so tired I could barely lift the saw at the end of the day, or step over the logs. Working on the slope with the big pieces was tough. Both my saws ran great, had a 20" bar on the 362 and 24" in the 044, both with Sithl RSLK chain. That stuff works great, I'm going to have to get more of it. After my brother ran both my saws he broke out his 460, but it would not keep up with my 044 with the square file chain, so I gave him a 20" loop of square file to even the playing field. The square file chain cuts through hardwoods much faster, and just blows through the pine.
I told him when I put the dual port muffler and low restriction air filter on his 460 (like I did to my 044) it will be an absolute beast, but I have to find the time to pull his carb limiters, something my 044 thankfully did not have.
Not a bad days work for 2 guys over 60, enjoy the pics.
