clark I've run a 664B alot and loved it but I had never heard of a 644 model. Is it smaller? Didn't think you could get much more compact than the 664 which makes it a pain in the a$$ to work on.

clark 644 Any of you guys know anything about a Clark 644 with a detroit? Had never heard of that model but it was brought up in a trade discussion the other day and now I'm curious as to what it's worth, it's strengths, weaknesses?

burvol I know what ya mean, every place has there crappy stuff. You just got to do what you have to do to get the job done, might not be the most enjoyable, or fastest, but you got to do it.

I didn't go to school to "learn how to put a tree on the ground", I learned that from a guy thats been cutting wood for 30 years and has made a living cutting 10-20" poles. In the NE we don't cut trees that have the volume like you do outwest, so the quality of the tree is much more important...

bore Up here the CLP teaches the bore cut as the primary way to cut. Cut the face, if its a large tree bore the front from the middle, bore in from the side stick a wedge in, undercut beneath the wedge and drop the tree. Leaving the last bit of hold wood allows for a stand so the tree can't...

Think cutting ice fishing holes with the chainsaw will cause damage to the saw? water in the sprocket bad?

anyone thats cut hardwoods professionally in the east can attest to the bore cut. I wasn't sold of it at first but it saves you loosing the but of the log because a small face cut is accepted by the scalers. It also gives you alot more control on medium sized trees 8 -25 inches dbh if your going...

Anyone ever heard of this being done? What are some typical rates or how does that work? Any of you central maine guys have any brilliant ideas? To much acreage for my tractor to keep up.

lombard log hauler I like to live life on the edge http://steamtraction.farmcollec.tor.com/Farm-Shows/Lombard-Steam-Log-Hauler.aspx nothing like riding on the front of a couple hundred thousand pounds of pulpwood going down hill on skis with no brakes

I'd take a measure of the height first and see if it can reach the shop or not. That top would wreck that shop in a hurry. I would deffinetly bore cut it if you know how too so keep that butt from kicking back into your house.

You'll find it more commonly in soft woods but trees if they grow up tight without of space will have their roots graft. When you cut the tree down the stump starts to rot and goes into roots and eventually into the roots of the other tree causing that tree to rot from the inside and die. Its...

Heres a thought, don't go either way and get a Johny-Red 2171. Cheaper than a 372 and it keeps these stihl guys off your back cause they know their stihls can't touch it.

I know up here cherry drys fast. But we only burn really crappy cherry for firewood.

Got the saw pinched once so I took the bar off and left it in the tree and got the winch cable and used another tree as a fulcrom to pull it away from the skidder then around the pinched tree and tried to pull her over. Wouldn't go and I didn't have another bar or a jack or anything so the only...

Almost bought a house next to a guy like that, been living in the neighbor hood 64 years. Guys like that tell the best stories, great people to talk to and help out. I do it cause I know when I'm that age someone will do the same for me.

All you guys rinse your air filters with compressed air, but out in the woods we just run ether or gas through it the bass ackwards way to clean emm out. And thats pretty much all the maintence we do. Clean the chips out of the bar cover if were splitting logs to big for the mill.

I know up here the price has dropped because of two things, mills stopped buying wood, and everyone that is unemployed or employed but working less hours and has a chainsaw and needs spare cash is cutting firewood. Its too bad for the full timers that depend on that to break even but it is what...

Hammerlogging's number 4 is an important one. Anything that could cause rot or decay should go now while it still has value. I've heard numbers from out ice storm in 1998 where people cut 20-40% of there stock cause of damage. Up here though all your birches, aspen and red maple just absolutely...

I got mine wicked cheap from tirechains.com

Easier said than done, none of these new saws pull over easy when its cold. Your looking at 6-7 pulls at least.
