    Perfect weather today, not a cloud in sight

    Took some noisy swedes for a ride in the ute and cut up a few sticks to keep the house warm over winter

    Autumn has the best weather.

    Crammed in the ute




    Cutting up sticks

    Not the saws fault! Hahaha
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    Talking to Matt today about your big bar. Says many do not know how to use them properly and new crankcase is required.

    Many people try to exert maximum pressure on the bar rather than letter the chain cut its way through, then all you get is a four foot lever acting on two studs trying to split the crankcase in two

    Best chainsaw.

    There are a few setup tricks and operational techniques to help with longevity, master them and the bar and saw lasts a lifetime.

    The 385xp and 395xp in the pics are very old saws, I just take very good care of them.

    The GB Titanium harvester bar is worth every cent and a razor sharp chain is a must, top quality sharpening techniques and gear the only option.

    Average gear running over 50 inches of bar only disappoints.

    Send me a pm if you need any info.
