    Like this 6 1/2 foot red oak on a gasline right of way i cut a couple months ago?...yea i know i pulled the center post out of it but these trees will probably just lay along the right of way and rot forever...some landowners sell there logs, some dont.

    Yup thats it in the ash stump bitzer. And looks like you had the red oak set up really well...sometimes there's the few that will still throw their middle finger up at you and not do exactly what you want. I have better luck with coventional face in them though..it seems like since the bottom...

    Problem with 372xp x-torq shutting off at WOT

    They sent this saw to the shop first and the dealer said he couldnt find anything wrong with it and de-tuned it to 12,500rpm and said thats where it should run..the way i took it he was insulting my tuning...i told him these are rev-limited to 13,500rpm and they should do 13,400-14,000 with a...

    I know what your saying..when the siswheel does what its intended it folds until it closes and usually rips a big portion of root and stump out of the ground and stays on the butt..keeping the tree on the stump and swinging the maximum amout of time. Alot of times i use it in tandem with a...

    Husky 288XP project done

    Im partial to the low tops on 288's as well...it seems to me the high top ones feel bulky..low tops are like a sleeper saw...that is also really nimble and easy to handle. I built this 288 to look like the one i used to run at a sawmill i used to cut for...their other guys where going through...

    044 surging at idle..

    I guess i forgot to add we put a coil on it as well since we thaught being that it is rather old maybe it was the problem but it still does it. And it jumps from fast to slow and almost stall then jumps back up then back down and keeps repeating.

    044 surging at idle..

    Ok guys still fighting this problem on this 044..what is it?...we put a new crank, bearings, crankseals, crankcase gasket, tried a softer spring in the carb because when we pressure tested it it didnt pop off with the metering lever side off the carb until it hit 20lbs..we put one in it that...
