The saw I always wanted to own . I just love the sound of a twin cylinder 2 stroke.

3 friends I know own many. They come in 100cc and 110cc

One of the ones in that video is Brads. He lives southwest of me.

One I ran many many years ago. From friend north of me.

Damn, I wish all cuts with a saw could be made on a stand!

This week we cut up fallen trees wrapped in vines & stickers. Yellow jackets buzzing around, and of course 90 degrees and 90% humidity.

Thought this one was gonna make me into a premature death statistic.

They go from this to a stand for working testing saws after you work on them for others.

Any good shop should have a test demo area IMHO.

My local echo stihl dealer does too. The one out of 6 of them I will use. I drive buy the others to get to him 🤦‍♂️

Almost all chainsaw gtg's and real racing events have stand too. You learn over time.

When I used to race in KY at this kids Dad's race. His dad was KY state champion.
RIP his dad died from cancer.

Me and his dad in one pic.

This is him then.

This him now 19 and following in dads footsteps. He has a Helsel built saw like I did and can run it too.

Wonder if chainsaw chaps are also good snake bite protection ? Neighbor found rattler in area he and I had been working in.
I just looked that up and figured it was no.

Everything online is no that isnt how chaps work to protect.

It pulls fibers into the chain and clutch to stop the saws.

This company will sell ya some snake chaps though. Are Chainsaw Chaps Snake Proof? What You Need to Know

Anytime I see a tree that has been down a while grown up in weeds around it, I start thinking some snake is going to be somewhere in that kind of a mess.

Anytime I see a tree that has been down a while grown up in weeds around it, I start thinking some snake is going to be somewhere in that kind of a mess.
I always watch stepping across a log too.

Even if no weeds or growth around in the woods.

Dad had 14-17 dropped up hill behind his place. The firewood trees going to my nephew.

The nice wood type trees going to be milled into lumber.

Heck I wish I could get this poplar here just for test and tuning in. 3.5hrs south at area my other 2 places are.

Took all three saws to a friends today to drop a big branch and drag a hung trunk so we could buck it.
The 490 with the new exhaust, some tuning and a 20" bar worked great, doesn't bog like it used to.

The 620p bucked up the bigger trunk pretty quickly.
The M18 pole saw to get up in another tree to trim branches, even used the extension and it worked great, but I can see the extension does bend a bit.

Brought the pulley and bull rope, worked great to drag the tree down.

@Hockfire Saws where I post all the junk saws OEM and clones.
Hey, thanks for setting up the deal with me on the Joncutter 2211 saw. I look forward to seeing it soon and testing it out in my slab wood.

To you other folks, he's quick and easy to deal with and answers questions quickly.
