Chain Break Mania

[EchoRomeoCharlie]

...snip...

I was speaking only to modern, current model saws. You are correct in that I should have specified that, however, I just assume if not speaking about a saw specifically or specifically talking about older saws, I assume we're talking about current or very close to current. My fault, I'll try to be more specific in the future.

So, no, not all brakes are inertia driven. Current production saws from stihl/husky are.

As for the second part of my post, that's how current production saws are designed, manufactured, and tested. I take it you disagree that the manufacturers have achieved that?

Your internet badass posturing at the end of your post gave me a good chuckle though. Good one.

The slow-feed chippers we used had the safety rails around the opening that would reverse the hydraulic feed rollers, they were used frequently when logs or limbs didn't want to go through or we needed to feed them slower.

I saw guys get nasty cuts at least twice from the gas hedge trimmers, one required a trip to the hospital.

Commercial fishing is high on the list. So guys who go after those sunken logs are really screwed!

No kidding! LOL

Last time I checked, I think logging was #1 and commercial fishing was #2. A friend of mine got killed a few years back when he was gill netting alone. Apparently got his foot fouled in the net and got cranked onto the reel and then more net, with tons of pressure on it, on top of him. Hell of a way to go, since he had to know exactly what was happening and how doomed he was, for several seconds at least before he was crushed. R.I.P.

This is a terrific thread, much better then the boring oil ratio squabbles and I like the departure to vehicle performance. I too grew up driving in marginal traction conditions, the bush roads and country roads of north western Ontario were a real hoot for learning about vehicle control. The best button on my corvette is the one that turns off the traction control. I don't disable the ABS just in case I overdo the braking and lock up the front wheels resulting in flat spots of VERY expensive tires. The Vehicle Stability Control is there for people who don't know how to control a car but they still end up in the snowbanks routinely. Unfortunate part of urban living is most people regard the car as another appliance and show little interest in them, most have never driven a rear wheel drive car and don't know why anyone would want a manual transmission. Even the truck guys are either contractors trying to earn a buck or poser dudes that just like to drive a truck because it makes them look like bad asses. The only drivers that get a real feel for vehicle dynamics under marginal traction conditions are the rural people who have a little more freedom to experiment away from city traffic. The BEST drivers are not Formula-1 but rally car drivers.

Since I’m an equal opportunity employer I’ve been contemplating hiring a willing and able woman from Egypt , but she wears a full face burka.
Would I be racist if I suggest that she activate the chain break with every step and would it be equally racist if I suggest she turn said burka 180 degrees to keep snow and spruce needles from going down her neck?
This is a very sensitive issue so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

The question is; can she drive in the mud?

With her eyes closed! I caught her bahaing down the Alaska highway in my goat wagon yesterday doing donuts.

And if she watches Hockey and can ring a chickens neck then she is definitely Canadian marriage material

I wouldn't marry her until she can pop a beer cap on a stubby bottle with the bic lighter.

Ya but what about the pork issue?

 

[holeycow]

No pork for you!

 

[Sepia]

Just tell her that here in Canaduh, the chickens are huge but don't have any feathers.
Just like the bush donkeys.

Pork her if you wanna. Why wouldn't you?

If she keeps twisting necks and jerking my 'Bush donkey' then she will be able to pop caps with the most worn out bic, for sure.

You know she's a keeper when she says:

"That's not fairrrr! Why can't we do it doggy fashion so we can both enjoy the hockey game?

So, if you guys given up on other people using the chain brake, I am out of here.

No, just a slow starter.
I have not even begun too touch the surface yet. Much interesting conversations can be made of what is to come.

I find such discussions amusing.
It is no secret that I am an old school man, in almost all ways.
I would share my views, but that high pitched squealing from the younger Gens is annoying.
