You're about to blend in flawlessly with the masses here. You will end up having multiple 'ported' saws. Each of them will come from a highly esteemed 'builder' on this site.
After that, you will be obliged to post pictures of your port work, welding skills, and overall woodsmanship. And if...
Assuming Jim goes chasing ladies, better hope he doesn't find a slow or wounded one. If he does catch one, I bet we won't hear from him 'til NEXT year's GTG time. Go gettum Jim!
edit: He did say he was goin' to town to "check some boxes......"
Hats off guys for a TRULY informative thread. I've done a fair amount of crane work, and it was all with the same operator. Guy is retired now, and my body says I'm not far behind!
For some reason, it's been more and more difficult for me to find good information here to absorb. Probably just...
Back in Iowa for the moment. But I must admit that I now understand why those dudes with the long bars on the left coast exist......

I really liked my two Bandits. One was a 200+ w/Cummins 4bta, and the other a 200 with the Ford gas 4 banger. Then again, after years of stacking sticks on trucks-who in their right mind wouldn't love any chipper.
I just think that if my bibliography or my footnotes had a reference to "Zombiechopper" it would be super cool. Don't know if the instructor would see it that way tho....
Good morning right back at ya! Contrary to what you Mo guys might think, there's some good folks up here north of you too. I'll bump this by noting that I am posting from fabulous southern California. It feels like I am on another planet as I can barely identify every fourth tree I see here. Big...

I have a long running love affair with my ol' 394. Bone stock.
Failing that, I would highly recommend the 2 (not stock) 394's belonging to srcarr52. Only ran them briefly, but with BIG bars in some medium/large wood. Still smile every time I think about those evil...
