WOW I think you got us all, yeah Im to the left of the Husky rep. Bob, you have got your self a great team there at the shop. The guys worked great all day clearing the "cookies" and saw dust. TONS of saw dust, I think they said they filled the bed of the little side by side 7 times with the saw dust. When AMBULL was running those big old monsters it looked like some one was pouring a 55gallon drum out.
 
Im kneeling down in front of the group, otherwised id be taller than almost all.


In one of 166's photo's, I make the 550xp look like a toy in my hands. :hmm3grin2orange: Next time, bigger saw !!!!!!!

Most of the photos are posted rest are just doubles. I have 18 HD videos but that will take a few days for me to get posted on here.

Thanks for posting all the pics, you really captured the spirit of the GTG for all of us. Also thanks for letting me run the 7910, it is a real nice running saw.
 
Headed out for the 5 hour ride home!! Had an awesome time, this was a gtg of superb proportions.

Have a safe ride.

Yes, this was indeed a great time. And now I have tated the performance of a Stihl 090, I have a need for a big performance saw:msp_ohmy:

I should have had the camera out for the first session of cutting but there were too many saws to run!

The 7910 you ran wasn't up to full power because of a dirty carburetor. Last person to demo it ran some weird gas through it. I pulled the carb on that one last night then made some cuts today and it's running stronger again.
 
Great GTG. Big thanks to Spike!!! Glad I brought the 090, as it was a big hit. Great running saw. And the old Mac Kart saw is always fun to run. Husqvarna is having a rebirth with the Mac label, so even the Husky rep was interested in the old yeller saws, lol.

Thanks to all for making it a great event.

If a well running 7910 runs appreciably better than the one at the GTG then it will be a saw I'd give some serious thought to buying. Can't say enough good things about my 7901.
