ok, so I'm not a logger....

[flyank]

always tell my wife I want to be a logger when I grow up... neighbor had tree company cut 8 40-50 ft pines down today. Guy was gonna just drop them at the dump so I asked and he dropped them in my yard. Just planning on splitting it to sell (hot item here in FL for back yard fires)

ok, so after 6 hours on the saw bucking and then splitting, I'm toast....
and not even 1/2 done..

ouch, much respect for you guys that do this all day every day!!!

Give a thought to working with the true 660, a McCulloch geardrive.
I spent endless hours and days using one, not a lace panty chainsaw.

Pine = pine sap = :msp_thumbdn:.

Free pine + a market for pine = :msp_thumbsup:.

They will build you up or tear you down.

getting rid of sap

a trick i learned from an old timer was to use real butter on your hands to clean of spruce sap.so im guessing it would work on pin sap also.

Crisco works real well also plus it has the consistency of go-jo.

Carb cleaner will get rid of pine sap on your saw but would not want to clean my hands with it. For the sap on you dish liquid works real good.

Saw gas cleans pitch off skin, saws, and glasses. Also makes good mosquito repellent in a pinch- Sam

just wondering do the bow saws save on the back or what never had the chance to run one
