A good running 87cc McCulloch, like my 660. The thing just howls and sounds the part of a power hog..even better than the 123cc McCulloch 797. None of my Homies even compare...forget the Husky's with that tinny choked up muffler sound!

Tinny choked up sound? You haven't heard my 2101XP - booms like a shotgun. My 288XP is no choked up saw either.

The redwood vid is one of the best i've seen...its "real".

High value tree, and the guys are being careful. I liked seeing the sawyer double-checking his sights, for example.

How many videos out there portray the crew as hotshot cowboys that can drop about anything in 3 seconds, while hungover, with hardly a glance!

I doubt I'll ever get the chance to even be near a Redwood harvest, let alone knock one down, but If I ever did, you can bet I'd milk it all day just to savor it. Biggest tree for me was a Mn white pine that measured 55" (the widest way, 51" the other) 3 feet from ground, and I spent over an hour taking it down just to enjoy it as long as I could.
