So your guaranteed to score so
Now that’s a disturbing thought, unless the pic “he” posted was of “himself”.
If this and the above are true, I’m gonna puke.
Well there was some climbers significant other that started a thread on here about 2 yrs ago asking us for advice as to what saw to buy for a present. (Some guys may remember...or don't want too.)
I figured it out fairly quick that It was another guy.
Er..um..not that there's anything wrong with that.
Everyone continued to be just as inclined to help, regardless.
Next time don't get me a Stihl guys?
Just kidding,

I don’t have any problems with that ^, but painting a Stihl solid orange and saying it’s a Husky, despite the fact you’ve still got a Stihl underneath the paint, ain’t my cup of tea, if you get my drift. Adding to the brief derailing, is that a 2100/2101/298 in your sig pic?
Maybe I am that old?
Had a good friend a year younger than me that hired on with a logging & salvage company in probably the last year of the 2101 in '90. They were yarding logs with big boats. They replaced all the 288's with all brand new 2101. They stuffed all the old fleet of 288s in undercuts and flattened them. Lol
My first Pro saw job was in 1989 on the West coast of Vancouver Island. About 2 hour drive home.
I was 21 and my friends Dad was an Aussie (Ear, Nose & throat specialist) Happened to be friends with another Aussie & Kiwi which were logging contracting.
Got on creek cleaning as they could yard over creeks back then. Had to buck down about 20' deep and pack it all to high ground. I ran the saw out of the three of us along with lots of lifting.
It was a new 2101 with a 48 bar. It was the buckermans new backup saw until he got sent off bucking in the water on a heli show so they bought the saw and I cut my teeth on first growth on a large tower & off road truck bringing down a load every 2 hours.
I didn't know anything about setting rakers. the log scaller gave me a few pointers.
They did hire an experienced buckerman that was 55 that had been in camps all his life and never seen his children grow up.
I did get to work along side him for a week anyway, I was then skidded back to finish the job I was hired for.
I didn't start Falling until '92 and that was in the interior with jobs in the interior wetbelt also. I was a thinning contracting (with snag falling snags and felling of residual
pine with mistletoe disease. Coast thinning too but no snags were standing.
My biggest saw was a 266 Walkerized. I liked my 262 for production in the interior.
First time I got broke in falling on the coast was just in second growth fir on the east side of the Island and that wasn't until 97. I went out on weekends for free & used his 2177 with wrap around handle.
I don't call that West Coast Falling but it's a place to start.
394/395 would have been the biggest saws I have fell with. In the pic is one of two ported 375xp done by mdavlee (372 XPW)
You can f* up 8 ft softwood with a 36" on
them in a timely fashion.
I have a fair bit of work pics of the coast in the logging sec under 'falling pics'
Should be a short video too.
I have other stuff scattered elsewhere beside what I haven't posted.
I think it's between 564ish & about 570ish.
Peace
I just saw a decent sized redwood/cedar and a Husky with a squared off wrap in the clutch side, so I assumed it was an older pic with and older saw, and 2100’s are the only old husky‘s with squared off wraps that I know of. I’ll have to go through the falling pics thread when I get some spare time, thanks for the heads up.
