You would be surprised at the reactions from guys when they see the chips fly from that 026. The first thing I hear is “it must be modified”. I just tell ‘em I keep the chain sharp.
Even with the patched up tank it is still going. I will feel much better when I get the new used tank from Mike.
You can bet that from now on I will look closely at the knot the groundie ties my climbing saws on with. I don’t really blame him. I guess he just didn’t know any better. The saw was a foot from my hand when the knot failed. I am just happy that no other damage was done. Had to use a 270 to finish blocking that tree down with. Man that sucked. A 270 is nothing compared to an 026/260.
