[Mad Professor]

Somebody should try to drop a redwood with a Homelite XL.

I did a 52" white ash with a super XL

I cut an 8 1/2 ft redwood last spring with a 327xpw and a 32" bar.

327? Is that a Chevy?

I cut my stuck 066 36 inch out of a 36 inch Doug fir with my MS200 lolol Still quicker then walking back to the truck :monkey:

Next time bring a real saw so you don't get stuck.

4-5 foot Willow

I took a huge old Willow tree down in my front yard with a 50cc Craftsman with an 18 inch bar, and a 36cc Poulan with a 18 inch bc. I loved that old tree, and it made the yard beautiful, but it got so old and rotten that it had to come down. Worked for a couple of hours to get it down. The wife was worried that it would hit the house, but I told her it would go another direction. That was toward the stone bbq, and she was worried that it would hit that, so I pounded a small stake in the ground and told her this is as far as it will go,and where it will land, and I was RIGHT!!! Probably more luck than skill. It took me the rest of the week to clean that thing up. Worst wood I ever worked with for dulling a chain. Wish that I had the saws then that I have acquired since joining AS. JR

Being a native PNWer, I cut a 12 inch hemlock down with a 28 inch bar. The Barbie Saw did it.

Best movie EVER!

King of Swamp Castle: We live in a bloody swamp. We need all the land we can get.
Prince Herbert: But I don't like her.
King of Swamp Castle: Don't like her? What's wrong with her? She's beautiful, she's rich, she's got huge... tracts of land.

Don't forget the shrubbery!!!

I dropped a 30" hemlock with my old 020T and a 12" bar. Took some creative cutting to get the saw in there and cut the middle thats for sure. Could have done it in 1/2 the time with my 460 or 660 but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

6 foot fir witha 28'' 372xp. That waas the tree that dumped sap all over my husky.

First it was an ax to free my 137 w/16" bar from a 14" elm and later a same sized oak. Then it was the 137 to free my L65 w/20" bar from a 19" elm. Now I always have at least 3 saws with me, besides the trusty ax and wedge.

A few months ago I took a job to remove a HUGE Beech tree downed in a storm. Since most of it was already on the ground, I started out limbing it with my Echo CS-360T. It did so well that I just kept on cutting, and cutting, and cutting.

I finally gave up when I had all the limbs but off and cut up, and had reached the main trunk, which was apprx 24-26" in diameter. I pulled out the 480CD and finished up the job. The 262XP and 268XP got a rest that day, and the little Echo still hasn't developed a "death rattle"!......Cliff

I pruned my wife's rose bushes with an 066 36". She'd been nagging me and nagging me and then nagging me some more to prune the damn rose bushes. So I did. I haven't had to prune any rose bushes since.

I took down a 3' maple that had been hit by lightning with my 16" Husky 136. I had to take the base out in pieces, but it's gone. That kicked my butt, and I vowed to not go through that again, so I picked up a 20" 290. Good deal on Fleabay, even.
