i've been working this thinning job of 40 acres in mt. vernon, just north of seattle, wa. i pretty much have given up on my :censored: 064 so my 034 has been getting quite a workout with a 28" full chisel skip-tooth. to make a long story short, last week on my way up to the job i stopped by to look at a 066. real nice guy and also a arboristsite.com member. i bought the saw. when i got to the job i wanted to find a tree worthy of the saw......i found it. actually i found 2 of them, doug fir. i put my 32" bar w/ full chisel skip tooth chain. i thought i had put some big trees to the ground before, boy was i wrong. check out these #'s, this is 1 tree and not counting what was above the four 32' 10" saw logs. it's a rush you can only get by experiencing over 20,000 lbs of tree crashing down as it jumps of the stump just feet away from where you're standing. i still feel a little :jawdrop: :jawdrop: :jawdrop:
