    My favorite part is running the saws.
    680 was getting debris in the carb screen so will have to look into new fuel lines if it keeps up. Filter looked good so I think the rubber line is suspect.
    Finished up with a 577 and a 20” bar.
    This is probably my favorite of the Shindaiwa lineup even though I spend more time with the little saws.
    Makes a good medium sized wood saw. [​IMG]

    Looks like a Mingo Marker

    Mingo Marker set up to mark for 16” length.

    I have a Mingo Marker and I find it does not work very well when trying to mark a log that is laying in the woods. If you are having to step thru and over a bunch of brush, it will leave loooong marks. I am guessing it works best if you have your logs out in the open where you can walk easily beside them.

    I had a bunch of log decks left over from a logging on a property I bought and used the portable winch to get a lot of them out on the road. Worked well on those nice straight logs.
    Worked well for that, but I’ve got to agree any gnarly wood with any branches or out in the brush it is not so convenient.
    One thing to remember is after using, invert the paint can and spray the nozzle empty or it plugs up.
