I was feeling a bit retro yesterday and decided to run my 2 125's in a bunch of large 30"+ Oaks that my friend had down on his farm. I cut them in fire log length slabs and quartered the biggest pieces. First, I gotta say, when running them side by side the SP-125 has a bit more gitty up than the CP-125 even with the SP running a 42" and the CP a 36". Second, after running the 2 saws about 4-1/2hours almost non-stop I had a real hoot of a time. Those 2 bad boys can really throw some chips! The racket they make is definitely unique to the big Mac's and certainly require good hearing protection. However, they did take their toll on the operator! All day I've felt like I went 12 rounds with a heavy weight. Even my morning coffee felt heavy and was an effort to lift. I'm just getting up enough energy to type this. Ahhh, a renewed respect for those who do this full time and especially to the ones of yore that ran the beasts of this vintage. I don't even want to think about the pre-chainsaw days! Perhaps it doesn't help that I'm decidedly older than the saws them selves. What ever the case, my pillow is calling early tonight. Now, I just have to gather enough energy to make it out of this chair.............
