Easy there cowboy, Husky was late to the game, McCullochs and Homelites ate most of the OG before Huskys showed up.
Whoa...back the train up there timber Tim...lol. I wasn't talking about OG, I was talking about board ft on the ground...the shear numbers. The amount of scale by the big gypos and the likes of Crown Z. & Boise C. etc. Yes, when I started fallin' around '75/'76 the Mac legends were still out there being bandied about. But damn few of them on the shows in the flesh. And I'll take your word for the Homelites because I never saw 'em except an occasional one on a landing...I never met even one faller using one. It's only circumstantial happenstance that the Mac's took most of the OG. If the Swedes and the Germans had been faster with their excellent saw designs, they would have killed Mac's even earlier than they did. Or maybe Mac could have stepped up to the plate....but history tells us no.
As I said earlier in this thread, I learned on an 075, then the orange 'invasion' started and it was like a virtual title wave.

Don't think so....show me the scale logs of west coast timber in the 50's, 60's, 70's and up to the mid 80's. OG aside, we're talkin' about total scale slew by the 2100/2101 saws versus any other model saw.

Wow, so sorry to hear about your wife Norm. Haven't been in this forum for a while. I will start praying for you and your wife. My wife is still alive but has early onset of Alzheimers. Believe me I feel the pain in your heart!
