Depends how you fall it too. Send it straight down the hill like some culls and even a solid one will break. Maybe not shatter but it'll break. Working with a lot of fallers even old guys break wood. They like to say it's all the trainee's who break wood but I've seen a lot of guys with many years in break more wood then I do. i don't care what anyone says, everyone breaks some wood. of course some more then others but all do. alot of times it can't be helped in this terrain though.
This is an education. Thanks
What do you mean sir?
If that doesn't choke ya up ....... Ya got no heart.
Thanks. I just visited my dads grave at Fort Indian Town Gap today.
Thanks.
The finer points of larger trees.
When thing ain't right ya get an education. Lol
A guy dropped a 13 ton pump from 29' up a couple of months back. An education.
First comment....." That will buff right out"
I was told that a roll was dropped at a paper mill I worked at in 2011: it went thru the operating floor and stopped in the basement.
I cant stop laughing at how brainwashed some people are lol..i love chainsaw forums lol
These discussions dont ever end up healthy because people are too soft in the stick and dont wanna hear something that contradicts what they believe..i wish it was different.
Until we stop focusing on self/me/my opinion is the only one worth hearing, as a nation, and open our ears to honest discussion, the same outcomes will continue.
In my mind,
Someone providing a service, in this case porting, is about more than just the porting.
Think about it; if the best porting in the world had horrible customer service, poor communication, and the lack of desire to follow thru with commitments, well, eventually, no one would do business with that porter.
I've only dealt with 1 Porter, and while there might be a porter that gets a little more gain from a certain model, I can say without a doubt that the Porter I've done business with has done me square.
Even if he is pencil a legged midget cattle Baron.
Ive collected a small mountain of videos on my cell phone of many internet saw porters saws goin head to head..the outcome of more than half of them would have these forums in full blown warfare..trust me.
I like hearing peoples opinions but i never put much stock in them unless they came from someone whos been around the block a few times..so i just do alot of trading and buying behind the scenes and try what some people have told me is the "best"..some of them were wrong...way wrong.

There's some wisdom right there!
This.
A while back I made a deal on a 288xp, and had the seller send the saw directly to be ported, before being sent home. The saw ended up needing a new piston and a carb kit... when the saw was done and I asked how much the total was for the porting/repairs, the answer was, "Nothing. Enjoy the saw." He wouldn't even let me pay the shipping home.
Does he build the absolute fastest or best saws? Honestly, I don't know, and I don't really care.
So do you guys wanna discuss performance or business practice or cyber personality? ... every saw builder on these forums ive dealt with has been square with me..some have done me some huge favors and im grateful.
When i spend 250-300 dollars i want the absolute best for my money , im not interested in making friends on my cell phone so for all intents people on here and other sites are complete strangers to me.
Nothing here is personal with me...nothing at all.
The pump drop wrecked the concrete supports for the test loop and there was a 10" long tear in the steel suction bell. 7/8" thick.
Heated. Bent. Welded. Ground. Painted.
and all this time I thought we had a relationship here.
Least the naked pics led me to believe it.
Sounds like this guy has to give work away just to get people to take it. Poor guy.
