Initially, when I fixed the busted Pioneer P41 that was given to me. And more recently again a year ago when i discovered my 090 at a yard sale for $20.
Back when I was a little kid watching my Dad and Grandpa cut wood together. I couldn't wait to cut with them, but I was only 4 or 5 at the time.
Cutting wood back then was an event. Wish I could have those days back...
When I started logging over 20 years ago.They wouldn't let me run a saw at first,I started out hooking up chokers.It wasn't long and I was doing most all of the felling and bucking.I never got tired of running saws and I still do it every day.I guess I'm lucky to be making a living doing something I have a passion for....
A couple of weeks ago my 13 year old daughter was working with us one Saturday dragging brush.She was begging me to let her run a saw.I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.All I had with me that day was a MS460 and a 441.I told her that if she could get either one of them started she could make a few cuts.She couldn't quite turn the engine fast enough.Now I'm debating on getting her a smaller saw so when she's working with us she can do more than just grunt work.I guess she has the bug in her too because before that I could not even imaging a 13 year old girl wanting to be running a saw.
After years of being very unsatisfied with a Homelite I bought a Husky 353. The Husky was everything I expected from the Homelite. I gave the Homelite away and everything associated with it. Since then it started with 353 then a 372XP. Now I have more capability than I'll ever need.
