I bore cut it with my 192.
It's a little funky, the hinge was right though, it broke funny because of the condition of the wood.

Right on. I have a 192 as well. How do you like it?

If it had a little more horse power it would be perfect.

Someone offered to trade me a 260 for it today. I turned it down.

Can't file eh? Guess I'm not a newb anymore then.
I have about 8 chains that look every bit as good, or better than that.
What about the raker? It looks as virgin as you do.

It fine if you are laddering to get up there but if you make a cut then get the ladder out of there cause it will be knocked out one of these days.

100%. 260 is what we had to use all through school what a pain! Well it wasn't THAT bad but a 192/200 is where it's at. It's paid for itself 10x over and it's less than a year old.

I agree. I do not like doing that and avoid it whenever possible even when using a GRCS. Its easier to butt hitch and let it fall away from you.

Oh please don't make them listen to yer sordid affairs, its bad enough that we have to put up with it.
It's filed down, trust me. I round it off as I file. Keeps it running smooth. I file a biatchin chain.

I saw this on the way to pick up the spurs. Man, look at the size of that snow man, it's taller than the house.

Actually it was a 290(I must have a dyslexic finger).
That 290 is not a tree saw, it's great for felling and cutting up logs, it'll eat a log real quick, gas to, but it's not something I'd want up in the tree unless I was blocking down a big one.

You must have clamped a piece of PVC to the trunk of the tree to hold that cow up there like that.

I've never used a 290. Never want to. I'll go from a 260 to a 361

That 440 can pull .035" or more looks like you could bring the raker down more, especially with the skip chain,
