Oh man does this bring back memories!!
My dad SWORE by his Homelite SuperWiz 66's with bow blades. There wasn't a better saw ever made according to him. He would scour the want ads looking for them so he always had one or two running and a couple for spare parts.
He and my uncle cut the pulpwood on the 200+ acres that he eventually farmed with those Homelites. And I'm talking about "shortwood" here. Felled with the bow blades, limbed with axes, cut into 8 ft lengths with the bow blades and HAND loaded onto an old black 65 Ford F-600 with a shortwood rack.
When I was a very good boy, I'd get to go to the woods with them on Saturdays to be the pulpwood truck "driver", meaning I got to move the truck forward a few feet every 15-20 minutes.
