Yank, did U get the AT version??? For some reason, AT seems to add some wt.
As far as I can tell, she's a 576XP-AT-XT. None of that "Magnum" poo, though. I think the specs say the AT bit adds a few ounces, certainly not enough for me to notice or care about. She wouldn't be my first choice for limbing, where weight would matter. She's gonna specialize in felling & bucking.
Buds at the Land Trust were getting cabin fever too, so we went postholing through the snow to do some cutting today. (Note to self: bring snowshoes tomorrow.) We're working on a name for her. All three of us got in some runtime with her, bucking & some limbing even. Biggest sticks were ~12", bigger tomorrow. She's a real sweety and made some new friends.
New bars arrived today from loggerchain dot com, so tomorrow she'll wear a 20" rather than the 28" of today. Hopefully soon she'll get to sink her teeth into some large sticks, but meanwhile she's getting as much exercise as we can provide.
