Well the old cutting partner wants to get back to "where he was". I got a letter the other day... and I just gotta stick some of this on here, and get your opinions...
Now, set the stage. Firewood, in central colorado. Pine, and lots of it. Not many trees over 20" dbh.
"... and do you see any 7 cube's on arborist site, I think having a couple would be great if they had tillotsons, then a litle work on the lit to the carb for easy access, and hopefully enough to pull a full comp on a 28" bar sounds intriguing"
Now from my perspective this is the "little boy in a toy store" mentality. What the heck is a old logger who is pushing 70 years old need with a 120cc chainsaw and a 28" bar anyway? Old school, I will tell ya. This gent used to run a 2100 with a 24" bar with a really hungry chain. It cut a lot of wood that way. Stretched the chains mercilessly, and blew out roller tips on a regular basis.
I wrote back that "this is ridiculous, and a 7 cube saw is overkill" and what is really wrong with a 440 or a 460? With possibly a 660 for the heavy guns??
His theory is "more production". I think it is "more wreckage".
