    Soren Eriksson - Where is he now?

    Have you run a Partner lately? And why even keep the Jonsered brand alive when they are nothing but Huskies with a different color? I'd never insult those cute kids of yours:)

    Soren Eriksson - Where is he now?

    'Bout like this : Not very big. We are too far north for stuff to grow really big. Beech Fagus sylvatica is the dominant hardwood species here.

    Soren Eriksson - Where is he now?

    Those were the days, Willard. When Jonsered, Partner and even Jobu were great saws. Too bad that Elux killed them all. I still to this day wonder how the American saws managed to kill themselves in a 30 year span, with no help from Elux. How do you go from being ( almost) top of the line to...

    I guess your trees are too skinny at that. It was developed for those who felled for the Logma, the first processor. It couldn't fell, but did everything else. That was the prototype of the mechanical harvesters that are killing off the loggers here. I saw the very first model in a forestry...

    Soren Eriksson - Where is he now?

    Those ain't trees, Willard. They're toothpicks. Obviously only a complete idiot would use a bar that couldn't reach through the tree for that kind of felling. On a more serious note, did you guys ever use the chainsaw driven pneumatic felling "wedge" that the Swedes developed for that kind of...

    Soren Eriksson - Where is he now?

    We cut the saw log ( or veneer log, if it is a fine tree) off, then we process everything out to 6 inches into 9 foot lengths. The situation we are dealing with here is that mechanical harvesters are able to handle bigger and bigger trees. We have only the medium and big hardwoods left to fall...

    Soren Eriksson - Where is he now?

    Why would you be in a more hunched over position borecutting, than cutting from the rear? If the stump heigth is the same, the position of the faller is the same............or? And as for the bore cutting requiring more concentration than a traditional back cut, why? Because you have to...

    Soren Eriksson - Where is he now?

    Only reason I let you get away with calling me slow, is the large body of water between us. Otherwise I'd love to do a day of cutting with you and see who gets the most logs on the ground. The "not out of school yet" kid, or the guy who has been a production cutter for most of his life:D The...

    Soren Eriksson - Where is he now?

    So do I. Why would that add up to six cuts? I only get it to be 3 cuts. I know you guys don't measure in metric, but have you started counting on other than 10 base as well, just to be different?:lol:
