O.C.G.D. Thread, part two

It will be fine for the limited use it will see.

Good point.
None of my saws see "limited use"
They get the shit kicked out of them 24/7 during logging season.
That is why I look at saws differently from the Arbos who'll buy used saws.

Your primary tool for making a living is, if I were to guess, your bucket trucks.

My tool of trade is my saws.

Both of us have a wast load of experience, that ,truth be told, is our actual tool of trade.
But we still neeed the machanical helpers.

Yup. Buckets can go anywhere.

No need to learn that pesky climbing!

We gots buckets trucks!

I've collected a few used saws. I cycle through them, find some issues and fix them as needed.

All of my Husqvarnas are getting old, and I don't particularly like the newest one I bought last year. My big 395XP is 9-10 years old and my 372's are about the same age. I take care of my stuff and it will run a long time, but now with multiple trucks it's nice to have a full compliment of saws on each truck without having to move them around every other day.

 

[Bodean]

I want a 395 bad...bug not the volume of wood required to deal with that saw...

I've been flogging the same 372 since 2002...and an 044 since about the same time...perfrct little chunkers.

Brian..you do take care of your stuff.

Loggers run through big saws like we do to top handles.

OCGD...

I bought a new TM.figured might as well get a really nice saddle now I'm almost mid 40's...hoping it's all it's raved to be... the NT's just haven't inspiring me to climb for cheap these days...

And I bought about 5 little rigging gizmos.
Rigging wrench, pinto loopie, little green block on loopie.... Stepping up from the giant ISC and the tiny speed blocks I've been bashing....

Another 395 devotee here

394 and 395... Sawmance...

 

[cory]

Sawmance..

 

[Dave Shepard]

I liked my 394 better than my 395. They start so predictably. One pull ckoked, one pull choke off and click the throttle off of high idle when it starts.

 

[pete mctree]

I hated the 394 - no idea why. I loved my 288xp & my 2101xp - why I sold them I have no idea.

Sorry, Boss.
According to Brian himself, he doesn't climb any more.
So exactly how, was saying that his bucket trucks are his primary tool for making a living, wrong?????????????

288 was a hella saw. 2101 hella saw but lordy like carrying a cinder block around.

 

[SkwerI]

The first Husky I ever ran was a 2101XP. Loved it!

 

[cory]

Like driving a nail with a sledgehammer!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Sorry, Stig - I missed that you were addressing Brian specifically.

My bad - I apologize!

 

[stig]

No big deal

 

[Bodean]

Havent bought a new saw in forever....

The kid was so happy to use it.
I told him to buy saw pants first....

I think he's tired of climbing with a dull handsaw.

I bought one recently too Deva - nice little machine I ported the muffler & put some nice dogs from an ms200t on it. Transformed it.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Now, just don't drop it!!!

 

[Bodean]

I heard that,Butch!

Great little saw. Super light.

Here's junior with his first cut in the tree.
No lanyard because I handed it to him from the roof.

The 150 isn't loud at all. I never wear ear muffs with it. I'll put them on if Ron is running the chipper though.
