Well we don't have anything quite on the scale of the coastal region, but the old ones are still pretty big in some areas. Here's a pic I took of a friend standing in front of one of the bigger Douglas Firs I've seen fairly close to town:
That's about the upper limit of what I see locally. The Douglas Firs here grow a lot differently than the coastal ones - they do get big, but I'd say 150-175' is where they normally top out; also they generally don't grow as straight due to wind, dry conditions, fire damage, etc. Almost every big Fir around here will have some fire damage somewhere inside if you cut them apart. If I head an hour's drive East into the mountains, it fairly quickly turns to rainforest again just like the coast, with big Cedars & Hemlocks:
That's the same big Cedar in both pics. The 10-22mm wide-angle lens I had on the camera doesn't really put the tree into perspective, but it was the only way to get the entire thing in a picture, especially since I was alone and had to balance my camera on a tree branch to take it! In the first one, it's hard to tell but I'm standing probably 8 feet from the tree - couldn't get any closer without a springboard due to the huge butt swell - and I'm not much farther than that from the camera either, so that gives you an idea of how the wide-angle lens distorts things. The outhouse in the second pic is probably half the distance between myself and the tree, for reference. I estimated that one to be about 10' diameter, and I've seen some up there probably 15' or so but they're a fair hike in and I haven't been back since I've owned a camera. That cedar is at Quesnel Lake, which is the deepest and largest fjord lake in North America - it approaches 2000' deep. You pretty much feel like you're on the ocean on that lake, and the weather can match it too - I've seen waves approaching 8' during bad storms there.
As for the 090, the longest bar I have for it is a 33", which interestingly I found at an old cabin on the aforementioned lake a few years back. It was rusted to all heck, but after a good soak in oil and rust remover I was able to get the grooves cleaned out and the sprocked freed up and greased. Works fine now, though I still can't believe it knowing what it looked like when I pulled it out from under that cabin! There were a few more out there too, but they were even worse for rust and I haven't been back since to check them out again. I picked that thing up years before the 090, just for the heck of it at the time.
The raw power it produces is incredible - it's like the Harley of the chainsaw world. It isn't the fastest anymore - an 880 or 3120 will beat it in many circumstances where pure torque isn't as critical - but if you need to pull a reeeeeally long bar with just one powerhead there isn't a much better way, except an 090 geardrive. And it's fun to run too - for a while - though earplugs are definitely mandatory even for short runs. I got respect for the old-timers who ran these all day long for months on end with no AV or hearing protection... I know a couple guys like that, and it definitely took its toll on them.
Here's my 090 with the 33" bar cutting a 28" Douglas Fir windfall:
