I am a fan of it and there is a fair bit around these parts to be had.

I always see theses pictures of a truck load of wood and a saw laying amongst the wood in the back of the truck.
Do you guys drive down the road with it back there...,
Iv never had the guts or heart to do that. My saw ALWAYS rides in the cab.
Sometimes get it a cup of coffee in the morning to.

I figured it was a stihl. It sounded like a wet blanket flapping it the wind.

Just Jeff, I have a setup or two like that and I also weld a receiver on a bit of an angle on the top. Stick a 3' piece of 2x2 x1/4" wall tube with a hook welded onto the end of it in it and it makes a handy short boom pole for lifting heavy stuff.
I’ll do that but only if there’s no possible way it can tumble out.
Or, maybe you can just put it under the hood and use your chainsaw to power your ride home - this guy did it with a HF lawnmower engine . . . .

I let saws in the back with the wood sometimes. Jam the bar in a hole make sure it's not moving and go.
Two woods go by that name, which one??? (Blue Beach or hornbeam)?

I bought my 660 to give my old Super 1050 a break, so I had only used it at home milling. My friend with all of the standing dead Oak's called and asked if I wanted to give him a hand spreading gravel on his drive, then cut a load of Oak, sure. From working at UPS, I'm in the habit of doing a pre trip and post trip on all of my vehicles. We were all wrapped up, did my pre trip before pulling out, and he ran up to get the 5 gallon of diesel off the back of my truck. I didn't think any thing about it, figured he would just pick the jug up over the side. Got almost home, and at a stop sign, a guy on a motor cycle pulled up and asked if I knew my tailgate was down?. My buddy is only about 5'3-5'4. He couldn't reach the jug to pick it up over the side, and I pulled off before he came back from his tractor. My brand new 660 slid back till something on the bottom of the saw caught on the plastic bed liner on the tailgate. It would have hurt to have killed it on it's first truck ride.
No saws go in the cab of my new truck. The wife and kids did buy me a set of Weather Tech floor mats for my birthday, maybe I'll put one on the back seat floor?
I know a guy who found a high value saw on the highway. He was looking to sell it. I told him for karma's sake he should at very least put an ad out to see if he could locate the rightful owner and then sell it if he wasn't able to return it. He didn't bother. I should have known then that he was a first class snake but I learned the hard way with him. Oh well.
Only modern saws that are known to not drool bar oil or seep fuel ride in the cab of my truck and that is only when the weather is bad. I honestly do not get worked up about a little bar oil but I cannot stand the smell of gasoline in a vehicle. My dad used to leave the small chainsaw in his suburban all fall and the smell never really would come out, even though no gas actually spilled.
If I stop somewhere that I cannot keep an eye on my truck I will put saws in the cab while I am away from the vehicle.

My saws are not in the passenger area, but are closed in or bungeed down.
This posted way behind, I was asking which Iron Wood, both these trees are referred to as Iron Wood???
