    It had lean to it, but when you blow all the basics it just doesn't matter!

    Short bar techniques.

    Got to play with this today, in a safe manner! I had a six ft high spar, 34" at the ground and I put the 16" bar on the 5100 to try my hand at it. No targets, no hurry and a good back up plan, so all was well. You guys that do this all the time are incredible sawyers, my hat's off to you! I cut...

    OK, is it the heartwood or the cambium that causes barberchair? I've always understood it to be the cambium, but am willing to learn.

    I've been thinking about this again and again, but the Coo's bay still bugs me to death! Here's my problem, on a leaner, you bore to remove the heartwood to prevent a barberchair and trip the strap. On the Coo's bay, you still have a large chunk of the heartwood left, lots of wood to cut...

    That's a steal of a buy! Get that thing cleaned up and woods ported and it will run with a 660 all day long, and weigh less! I think you are going to love it!

    Nope! I'm hibernating! I've been out in -25 wind chill plowing snow, no thanks!

    Hell, that's only -10, I cut in that all the time!

    I've changed gears a bit on this as well. No one seems to think 40cc's is going to make me happy with what I want to do with it. I've got a used Dolmar 5100 on hold until I get the funds from my 200t. Planning on a muffler mod at least on it, it comes with an 18" in 3/8's, I figure it should rip...

    Easy Willie! I resemble that remark right now!

    That was awesome Stig! Thank you so much! It's about what I figured, but watching the videos in a language I don't know makes it hard to decipher everything that is going on!

    I'm all for healing up Al, but the way the docs are circle jerking me around, it's going to be 2 years before I am fixed! To say the bills are mounting up is an understatement, I need to find some income to help out, and get out so I don't feel like a useless POS! I've tried the normal things...

    I don't think I could even buck with a 660 right now! I know I shouldn't!

    While you are right, I'm getting restless and bored!

    They are neat, but I'm not ready to sell the 046 to buy one yet! I'm thinking a little lower in the price range my friend!

    Bleh! Had one, modded the hell out of it, still didn't run like I wanted so I got pissed off and drunk one night and took the dremel to the 350. Sold the 346 the next week! The 350 has more torque and pulls better with my style of cutting. It pulls an 18" in hardwood with power to spare! The...

    No Willard, I've run a 372, I've an 046 and a 350, I want something lighter than my 350 right now! My back doesn't care for the heavy saws much right now.

    Light Willard, light!

    I figured if nothing else, we could all learn a bit from it, it's not a normal topic for sure, Brendon!

    Yeah, Jay, all of the videos I've seen aren't in English either!

    Short bar techniques.

    Thanks, didn't think about being able to bore into the cut made on one side. Most times I see the start on one side and just sweep across the back cut, making it look a lot easier than I'm sure it really is! I've read the manuals, and watched the videos Jay. The manuals just touch on it and...
