Chainsaw Brands and models.

If they broke the Jap code to know they were on their way to attack Midway, you guys should be able to figure that out.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Oh, I missed the G part. I wouldn't want it, either.

 

[sawinredneck]

It's cool and all but I'm not sure about "moist" sellers owning a saw!

 

[woodworkingboy]

My bad, Andy. Agreed, it isn't a particularly pretty image.

 

[Tree Reb]

I missed that.

That could be one of those chinese 090's, they sell pretty cheap.

 

[woodworkingboy]

The seller has a photo site with lots of pictures of the saw. I haven't looked that closely, but it seems authentic.

For some reason I dont think the translation was right in heading. Emissions from steel junk

 

[woodworkingboy]

Now we know where the EPA gets it's information.

 

[woodworkingboy]

WTF? Starting price at the auction is only $12.

 

[Tree Reb]

Husky make one as well, and some Chinese ones on ebay sometimes. Pretty handy if you have the use for them.

[woodworkingboy]

Nice! I can definitely see a use for that device. The one being auctioned doesn't seem to have the support gizmo or the arm extension.

 

[Tree Reb]

That one looks like an orchard saw.

Looks like they did a deal with or copied that ezy lift guy. He was here for a while but was on Arbtalk a lot.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Whoa, never seen such a critter.

The Husqvarna with the bar above head I tested.
It has its purpose, although it perhaps isn't the biggest market.
In the forestry here it is used when clearing second time and first harvest.

 

[Al Smith]

I'm totally ignorant about how or why they thin stands or what they use .Some talk about brush saws which evidently are just souped up weed wackers with a circular blade .Then this thing comes along .Pole saw on a flex shaft ,crossed with a back pack blower .--What next ?

 

[Magnus]

Thinning stands is to let those who actually will bring $£€ get a chance to do just that.

This idea isn't new.

There is quite a bit different in clearing saws and grass cutters. Both jobs demand different.
Quite different from your typical weed wacker in supermarkets.

 

[squisher]

Thinning/spacing definetly works. I did it for a few years and here and there, never with a weedwacker though with chainsaws. I've also seen some stands that were thinned when they were younger right next to un-thinned stands and the difference is incredible. Spacing and then later pruning the lower branches to a pre-determined height can greatly speed the maturing of a forest. Also acheive much more uniform high-quality stands.

 

[Tucker943]

Pre commercial thinning is not taken lightly by the paper companies. They're growing money, and want it to grow fast.

Very true. I have seen side by side stands that were planted not a month apart, the thinned stand was more than 2X the height on those young trees. Pretty dang amazing.

 

[woodworkingboy]

In case you've never seen a 200 volt chainsaw. Not uncommon in these parts.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Cool! My neighbor needs one!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Crikey! This has gotta be a misprint!!

 

[woodworkingboy]

You mean the price? They go nuts here for professional grade saws, how much they want to charge. Believe it or not, people will pay it too.

 

[MasterBlaster]

But that's not there.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Oh, the price is shown in yen, so I thought so. It must show the currency depending on the viewer's location. It would be about $2400 with the current exchange rate.
