    Large Stihl mount 48"

    A lot of those old long stroke natural asperated diesels could lug down to where you could about count the rpm's . Extremely heavy crankshafts,huge bearings etc . Even my little D4 would sound like a pair of John Deeres ,probabely lugging down to 4-500 rpms and blowing black smoke like it was...

    Those pics with that 880 looks like the soft maples around here .They don't get real tall,maybe 70-80 feet but they get fat as a hog after about 100 years ---then they get hollow and thus provide employment for tree trimmers .:lol:

    I never used a 7 on a tree .I did flip a few with an old pony start D8 one time that must have came over on the Mayflower . Old cable job that was armored up like a tank with plates every where .Old ,,slow noisey .Blew black smoke but could flat walk through a 30 inch oak like it was a blade...

    The most comical one I ever saw was a weeping willow about a mile and a half from me .They wacked all the limbs and just left about 18-20 feet of trunk .That stupid thing has to be nearly 6 feet across ,I mean fat as butterball . After about 4-5 years that thing looks like a woman with a bad...

    Large Stihl mount 48"

    I dunno,given enough time I could likely do it with a Mini Mac.Might take a while .:lol: I actually did cut out a 36" soft maple with an s-25 Poulan with a 14" bar . I had no choice,all I owned at the time .Poor as a church mouse in those days .

    Can't find a bar,cheap or not .I could rework one if I could just find one . It's up to Tom anyway .Depends if he gets the job I recon .If he does even that high priced bar will be more than paid for with just that job . A big old fat tree like that makes most of the lesser local tree guys...
