before you read this i need to say the land owner did say 1 little word that the camera picked up,, i just wanted to warn you all of that,,, a good friend of dhibbs75 and i wanted this big tree down to have milled so of course we couldn't say no,, it was nice to go out and run the saws for a while,, dave took the solo with with the 36" bar,, the tree was no match,, it measured about 38" in dia,, i took the newly built ms-250(which i never ran) and the newly acquired chinese pos saw,,, well both of them run flawlessly,, we had it down and cut up in less then 30 minutes,, dave used the 603 too cut the trunk to log length and i used the chinese pos saw to cut the tops and the smaller logs,, it was a blast to go out on a nice day like today,,, the pic is dave on the left and the land owner on the right,,, i didn't think it was going to come down that fast i had just enough time to get the camera on when it started over and go the vid of it,, we had a good time,, benny let me have several 6-8 foot x 12-14" diameter logs for test logs,,,here is the few pics and vid,,

Cool! Don't have that kind of weather here now. 30's with howling wind, snow. Just got my eartquake pos this morning. All excited, but realized I can't do squat with it. Recovering from abdominal surgery 2 wks ago, and starting a saw is pushing things too far. Tried my 026 yesterday and realized it's going to be another week. Keep ya updated when I'm able to run it. Do any more cuttin, post some more pics and videos. All I can do is watch.:clap:
