Not sure about the saw but I'm interested in the "beautiful latino women" they are advertiseing on the vid :hmm3grin2orange:

i also think that guy wouldn't of had to beat on those wedges as much if his backcut was higher.

It sounds ported to me. I don't think 660's are that snappy when stock.

BTW, that vid has been posted here bf. I believe the feller may have been active here in the past.

I agree. I don't believe a stock 660 would pull that long of a bar that well when buried.

Humbolt notch, so the back cut needs to be lower because of the face cut, IIRC.

What is a "Jehova Witness backcut"? Are you referring to the religious group- Jehovah's Witness? :msp_sneaky:

A lot of guys make their back cuts lower in big Pine (especially Sugar Pine) because the wood in a bigger Pine can be "brash" and there can be a lot of fiber pull. Sugar Pine tends be a high-dollar wood so a guy doesn't want to slab out a section of the butt log.

That saw has some work done to it. I don't remember who did it though. I bought 1 of the razor sharp IIs from him.

It's the backcut all the inexperienced wood cutters use in Northern California. They start the backcut high an angle it down at about a 45*. They think it will wedge much easier, but end up praying for it to just go down.

Rule of thumb........Never lift a tree to set into the undercut......that's where all the work begins!

A walk through the wood will show similar here.

Exactly. If you bust up a couple of those for no good reason you'd probably get to go home early. And stay there. :laugh:
