. . .have yet to see a hydraulic saw in person.

Here's your chance!

I have worked in factories that had other hydraulic powered tools, including a router. Looked just like a conventional Milwaukee woodworking router, except that it was powered by hoses. Used to cut / trim extruded aluminum parts.

Is there anyone following this thread from anywhere in MN north of Duluth other than benp?

Back in the old days Larry Anderson (the old Tilton/Jonsered rep) would bring all his dealers a tub of Dey Herring cutlets for Christmas. Yesterday Pele and I grabbed a tub and headed to North Branch in search of Larry. Needless to says he was quite surprised when we showed up at his front door! Many of you have met Larry at our shop and he told me to tell all of you Hello and wishes everyone one a Merry Christmas!

I'm 160 mile west of Duluth. I wish I was over there I would be looking at that stihl 064 that's on CL.

So who here is around the twin cities or the Eau Claire area? I'm in River Falls, just off hwy 29. It'd be cool to meet some other members.

Hi Ryan, me and my wife live about 40 minutes north of St Paul. We put on some chainsaw races up at the Chisago County fair every year. Always good to have some more people join us. If you want to run some ported saws sometime feel free to pm me. I always have some wood to make into smaller pieces.

Do you ever get into the cities? I'd be happy to buy you a cup of coffee or a beer sometime.

That sounds great. I don't get in too often, but hopefully I'll make the trip a couple of times this winter. I'll drop you a line if I can find some spare time. Thanks for the offer.

North of you a good friend of mine lives in Big Falls a small logging town. He's retired from building high end log homes now. Some of his homes are in Colorado, Wisconsin and here in the lakes area.

We should get together sometime too.

@mortalitool has some nice land to cut nearby and I am sure he wouldn't mind a little help making more firewood if any of you guys wanted to come up.

Lets try to figure something out after the first of the year.

We have some saws that need to be broken in anyhow.

I like the sound of breaking inn saws.

I like the sound of breaking inn saws.

There are tons of trees to be cut down and bucked up. After the first of the year we can plan a small gtg. That would be great!

There are a few saws in need of some good break in time as @svk has mentioned. Him and I are spoiled only living within minutes of each other.
