Can’t wait.



And another guy’s




By @huskihl whom I already have a couple saws from

I think @Bermy needs one so she doesn't have to wrassle a 70cc saw up in a tree.

I have one for sale, but on the wrong continent 😂

Ported saws definitely allow more power at less weight! Add a light weight bar for good measure.

Actually, 60cc ported would be about right for burying 20" in hard stuff.

I'm in the camp of full-wrap handles make saws more functional, and easier to handle. Using a half-wrap the way you would like to position the saw takes more muscles than if you have a full-wrap. It allows you to keep it lower when working in the tree, requiring less muscle.

The only time it's a hassle to me is when one is trying to low-cut stumps for grinding. Stig's euro-style felling is probably having the same challenge of the handle hitting low on buttress roots or the ground.

A little playin with the “risky business” pine. Kevin ported 2166. It’s rare I get soft green wood. Next time I will break out the 3120.

But it says 350

 

[davidwyby]

That’s about three parts saws…it’s what’s on the inside that counts.

Nice! I love my ported 550xp but it's stinkin loud. She's a ripper for sure

I ran a red 346 by Kevin last year, and I was impressed with how hard it pulled, so I had to have one too.
