Thanks you for giving me hope for warmer weather to come. Keep up the pics.
Dad has the bass boat I keep a fishing toon on the lake.
Mainly crappie fishing but hit the bass, gill, musky too. Crazy when hit the crappie and reel one in every cast. Catch like 50-60 at a time for fun. Only keep bigger if hungry for some fish.

Third skid this morning , red Craftsman/Poulan on the fender. 0930
Must be nice dragging them in snow as apposed to dirtying up the logs. 5 cuts and sharpen gets real old fast

It sure is Jethro! My wife and I have 19 acres of woods here that our home is on. There is a small swamp in the middle of the back half, Above the swamp is vary steep side hill, working on it isn't for the faint of heart. It has been 10 or more years since the ground, snow and temperature have been right to allow me to be able to harvest trees on the upper side without skidding threw mud. I am bring out Beech today that desperately needs harvesting before it gets any worse. Right after we got the snow again I drove threw my log roads to pack it down and let the cold freeze them up for better skidding. Where I cross the narrow end of the swamp has even froze up now so that neither tractor or stick behind it breaks threw.
The sticks in the pile are on 2 hemlock runners 20' long. I believe there is 2 years of firewood in the pile now, but conditions are right to skid and I can get to the steepest parts so the pile will keep growing.
The creek that comes out of our swamp is on the maps as Susquehanna creek, that feeds into Shadow Brook that dumps into Otsego Lake. Otsego lake is considered the mouth of the Susquehanna River , but I see my little swamp as the true mouth.

Man you are living the dream mate well and truly. I enjoyed reading that. Nice old John too
Ran the 4000 again today and put a tank of fuel thru it. I pulled the muffler cover and it looks like it was brand new. Was happy with the little red barn piston. I'm using truefuel in the green can. I let Chris in on the progress and he was excited also. On the dino I was pumping 100 psi at 8000 rpm and that is good. It is getting stronger as more time goes on

Fill your hands, you SOB!
Yep, definitely excited to hear more about the results.
Also glad to hear that everything is holding up well. Those LRB pistons are OK, but I have a feeling "The Duke's" one we're having produced will be a little more refined.
@Todd Loosli , I'm dying for a video
Don't die yet, I'm making the changes to the dino and will get a video when finished, stay turned.

Did you install with normal gaskets and stock muffler? I know a lot of us are running base gasket delete and small muffler mods.
I'm not a fan of LRB pistons, especially the 3400.Yep, definitely excited to hear more about the results.

I suck at video but that's a short run
Used gasket kit that came with it and it has my 4000 muffler mod. I changed the cover and put a 4000 on for the better air filter. It is a runner
You have changed the dyno abit. Sounds good
Yes I slowed the pump down and added a tachometer and a few others. On the video the saw is 8000 rpm and 100 psi, it will pump 150 psi and stay at 8000. Strong saw
Cool I love it you going to throw some chips with it?
I can do that and will very soon like tomorrow. I need to get the chain guards made and install them.
Nice yeah that chain would certainly be hungry for a couple fingers
