I agree with John! I’m climbing or doing bucket work almost every single day and the wear and tear it has on my right wrist and shoulder becomes a lot sometimes. The two built saws I dream of is a nasty 2511 and a 261 that can pull a 25in bar with a wrap handle (I know they don’t make them)...
I’m more of a climber not a logger. Closest thing I get to logging is we do land clearing and grading where I might have an open area with 30+ trees I can drop. I run audio equipment for my church so I have to protect my hearing. I live with my protos helmet on, using the built in glasses so I...
My boss supplies me with everything I need and will still hand me large bonuses on a regular. I can take his equipment on the weekend and go make myself $3000-$4000 with his machinery doing side jobs. He takes great care of me and wants to see me grow and eventually have my own business. I have...

@huskihl do you normally cut squish in a 2511? Haven’t forgot about getting you to build me one. Just had a lot going on lately. What are some normal squish numbers for that saw?
I keep reading across the web that most of the power comes from the exhaust modification so I’ve been curious about power performance with all of the other work people do to saws
Figured I would bump this in hopes of finding some current day builders that the community stands behind. I’ve reached out to a couple (ripsaw and worksaws) and been trying to find more detailed info and reviews from our community. I’m thinking more and more about a modded 2511 but I want to...
