What are your plans for the cottonwood?...firewood, milling?[/OTE]

Firewood, no way, we consider that garbage around here. Hoping to be able to put a GTG together in the future and can use this bigger stuff for that. There are some big trees around here if you look but getting them loaded up is a problem most the time.

That won't be a problem with these and we won't feel bad about throwing the cookies on a burn pile.

One thing's for sure. Baileys ALWAYS stands behind their product. I've seen them even pay for repair to a bottom end after an AM topend fail. They've also replaced ported topends. Grande Dog is always there for us.

Well I don't see myself using AM P/C on anybody else's saw, but if I ever think about doing one for.myself that will probably be the only place I would get one from. It would be nice if they started stocking AM kits for 5200's and 5000's sometime.:msp_biggrin:

My guess would be Gilardoni regarding that OEM top end, but it is just a slightly educated guess.....

My guess would be Brazil.

My guess would be Brazil.

And thats probably a really good guess as it dont say anything but Stihl on it.
