Well said. Electrolux does make good saws. They only own the ones with no future in the pro market like the Poulan, Pioneer Partner to make millions selling at Walmart to homeowners. They may sell for a low price ,but alot more are sold then the XP and other pro saws. I like my Huskies ...

Starting out as Poulan, then Beaird Poulan Inc., then Beaird Poulan/Weed Eater and now today back to Poulan and Poulan Pro. The company developed pro saws like the top of the line 8500 up into the mid 1980s. Electrolux took over Husky, Jonsered, Partner in the late 1970s, then the Canadian saw...

Our top crews the French guys from Quebec ran Partners from about 1969 then in '76 they started using the Husky 162 then the 480, 266 all 16-18" b/c. Most of us English guys stuck with the clunky Jonsered 621, 80, 90 saws. Not until 1979 was when I ran the Jonsered 910- 16-18", beautiful fast...

Stig I don't think they came this far west in Canada. I remember Nick and a few other of the Frenchmen talked about trying them in Quebec in the early '70's. But in our small skinny timber all we carried was our saw. Alot of times just a quick slash for a facecut, backcut completely through and...

Yes table top flat for millions of acres here in northern Manitoba. Only time we shut down is for heavy rain, which we get very little of. Our weather is very stable.

Thanks Butch, here's a few more. The first picture is one of the skidders loading the first 2 chokers of 20, the last picture is of my logging buddy little Nick LaRouche who hails from Quebec. He was always it seems working the next strip to me, and I never could keep up to this guy. It was like...

This is nothing Chris. You should have seen tension when I got banned forever from AS for threatening to come on down and teach a few members some manners for calling me a liar, when I said I 've cut a few million trees.:lol: Here I was arguing with a couple of 30 trees a day PNW timberfaller...

Well said Stig. I hear that all the time too, things like the saw's cutting action vibration will release a widow maker. Yeah right! I'm sure a gust of wind or even the vibration from a red headed woodpecker would have done the job ages ago before the chainsaw was put to the tree. I think...

Well I have to say I've used it lot's in residential removals. Many times I had up to 16 ft. of Jameson pole with a Silky blade to trip that hinge.

Soren had no intention with his GOL training for his students to fell every tree in their future with a bore cut. It was "the thing to do" when you had a group of students [many who never felled a tree before] around the tree or bolt when he was demonstrating the felling cuts. For the best...

I have made alot of good timberfaller friends in the PNW. Here is a photo I have of an old work buddy from Vancouver Island, British Columbia Canada in the early 1980s. John here is falling a 400 year old red cedar [notice part of his Jonsered 920 in the bottom left corner]. From the information...

I haven't heard anything about Soren's where abouts for years, seems to me that there's alot of other people I haven't heard from since the chainsaw glory days of the 1980's. I got the full library of Soren's early 1980's training videos with Stihl Ltd. I often wondered why he switched to...
