Finally fired up my 088 for a purpose :)

[gemniii]

Since I bought my 088 in September 2012 I haven't found a "real" reason to use it.

I fire it up about once every month or so and whittle down a piece of log, but to me that's not a "real" reason.

Well yesterday a storm rolled thru northern Virginia and a small limb fell.

And my 021 and 660 were at my rental house, my JD CS 62 down in Mississippi.
All I had ready was a bowsaw and my 088

Now using an 088 w/ a 32" bar MAY seem like overkill to some.

But I'm happy to say it was up to the task

Heck, it needed to be fired up anyways.

And yes I forgot my glasses.

Can't wait to mill with it.

Cool, now you can hook up your 3 ton dually with 26 foot bobtail and haul it away! :msp_razz:

Gotta love big cube saws. Mine rarely get's fired either, but when it does, it's for a purpose. :msp_scared:

Overkill? That's an understatement! Never thought of using a railroad spike to nail a couple of popsicle sticks together.:msp_smile:Sweet saw.
