I almost got took out a few times the first day I did it. And I promptly got my arse chewed out every time.

I've been around crews that I felt safe standing behind a tree in next to a piece of equipment right on the landing. Not so much there. It was almost too much going on. They have 3 loaders running, trucks coming in/going out every couple of minutes, 9 big skitters, a few smaller 3-wheel skitters, and a dozer all running on one huge landing

Skidder???
Posted on 4/14/13 at 8:57 am to Hammertime
when you said 30+ loads a day, i didn't believe you until i saw 9 skidders. If they are working behind cutters, so much easier then bunching yourself, which is what i did.
all of the spades that came around just couldn't accept that an uppity looking, scrawny white boy could run a skidder like that. i was quickly accepted though. was better then working for minimum wage like i did at a previous grocery store. it surely motivated me to finish at SLU.
and since it is a "saw" thread, Stihl/Pioneer was pretty good, but durablity wise Husky seemed to be a little tougher. they both ran fine though.

Mine definitely runs its arse off. With a sharp chain it blows through the 25" bar and I'm thinking about getting a 32 down the road for it just for occasional use.
I am quite upset with the way the dog mount is made on mine though. That piece that the top dog screw goes in looks like it was added as an afterthought.
I'm off to the hardware store. Ill let y'all know what they say

Just making sure you learned how to spell after your stuck thread
quote:10yrs ago, they were one of the most productive crews in the Southeast, and that's even counting plantation pine cutters.
when you said 30+ loads a day, i didn't believe you until i saw 9 skidders.
Getting 60 loads a day out of the swamp is no small feat. They consistently did it
Husky is the most durable
Stihl FTMFW all day every day, up and down, left and right, backwards and forwards, sideways and corkscrewed

The most durable saw I've ever used was an old dolmar.
The only plastic on it was the tanks and caps. It weighed about 60 pounds.
Made for 32:1 fuel and we ran 50:1 in it (that's what the guy who owned it did
) and that SOB was bad. Anything that can handle that many hours light on oil is badass.

I always ran 50:1 on my saws. I am pretty sure they were all cast aluminum too
Have a buddy that is running 3 saws that are over 30yrs old, all Stihl. That big 088 Shelby Stanga used to use on Axe Men, it was his. He has a 60" bar for it too
He also has an old 090 that weighs about 90lbs

Stihl has been and will continue to be the most reliable. They design their engines to perform differently than Husky, and last longer because of it. Good luck getting cheap parts,or parts period for that matter with a Husky. Just the fax man
Stihl wins

Woulda been a pair of c-notes to get new plastic for my rig.
Didn't have dogs in stock
Hammered the old ones back almost straight, bent the plastic back (read broke) into place with some channel locks, and cut some logs.
Think I might try to epoxy it back together down the road.

Looks like it's back to the axe and buck saw 
Posted on 4/14/13 at 11:19 am to jimbeam

Ain't nobody got time for that right now though
