Don't know why but you were the first one I thought of.Dammit! I told Cowgirl not to video it.
I'm getting too old for this stuff. Had a mostly dead maple next to my friends farm house, and right over where she parks her car. Prep work took longer than putting the tree on the ground. They have a spigot next to the drive for watering the horses. They were worried the top would hit it and drive it straight down and break it off the black plastic pipe below the frost line. They have a 300 gallon pressure tank and didn't want to take a chance of disrupting the water supply for the other horse field several hundred yards away. So, I went down in the lower field to the old Ash Hole, and cut down a 30" Ash tree. Cut 3, 36" long chunks, took them up to the spigot, stood them on their ends, and ratchet strapped them together. Plus I told them I would be no where near the spigot. Dropped the tree, closest branch was at least 15' away. Sure glad we had the 5420. I ran one tank out of the 660 cutting all of the stuff up to 20" into 6' sections that went to the burn pile. The rest we cut random sizes and dumped them on the wood pile. Had one helper get hot and quit.
My dad would try something stupid like that.Anyone yous fellas know?

Was thinking of you yesterday while doing a bit of limb removal for a better view of Lake Michigan.Took the scrounge locating tool out the other day, nice to be back in the saddle View attachment 841659
Went out with my buddy the next day to look over the area they are going log and found a bunch more dead red fir. We were turning around at the end of the road and my buddy happened to stop where his bike was on a high spot and his down hill foot was over a rut, balancing there on the verge of falling over, thought I would try to help and road up beside him... right when he fell over, knocked me over, too bad it wasn’t on video, lol. Knocked some hide off my shin and smashed/bent my pinky the wrong way. Told him he’s on his own next time, lol. (He’s actually a very good rider, better than me).
Worked on cutting some more boards todayView attachment 841660

I agree with mike and you.
Except I'd add to that last part, no reason you can't have a few different saws with different length bars.
Just like hooked on phonics, it works for me lol.
Just got the larger cherry rounds off the trailer and cut the logs up, had a 28" bar on the ported 372, it was not what I would recommend cutting with for anyone new to cutting. The saw has very large dogs so that reduces the overall effective length of the bar, but it still lengthens the overall length of the saw which can cause a lot of problems in tight quarters, and increase the level of danger. For me mainly because the saw cuts fast and you can't get the saw out of the cut quick enough and it can bind and kick back(as in the video below), although for most newer cutters I think hitting something with the upper quarter quadrant of the tip on the other side of a log they are cutting is the most common danger with long bars such as cutting off a pile of logs. See :26 seconds in the video below for a little kickback action, this was from last night.
The excursion wanted more.
