My old reliable MMWS461 got a little more bling. I put on a set of Westcoast Saws felling spikes. They are ludicrously long, but they are made of really strong/heavy duty steel, much thicker and stronger than my old aftermarket dogs. I think they are designed for digging into the thick bark on huge west coast soft woods, but thought they might be good for getting a bite in the dead oaks I've been felling lately. The mostly have loose bark and rotten sapwood, so it can be a chore to dog into them. At least that's my excuse. The 28" bar is pretty new for that saw, too. Now, if only somebody would come up with a decent looking air filter cover for the MS461 MaxFlow. That thing is hideous.
Slab cutters .. the corded makita with 12 in bar n 043 chain actually gets threw sum logs…got it for the noise factor and having a newborn
I had a bunch of the same saws myself. When I did a shop cleanup a few years back I gave them to a co-worker who collects saws , Never used them and not even sure where they came from so I passed them on. That's the double trigger Homelite , That seems to be the one that people are looking for.
I had a couple of the double trigger models as well as 3-4 of the singles. The long and short handle versions. I like the shorty with single trigger. I only cut with mine to test after fixing. I always use my 2511 instead lol.
After felling a large oak at my parents with the 394 and slinging that thing around I decided it wss time for a full wrap handle. My main felling saw is my 365sp but occasionally i need to use the 394. The kit I bought came with larger felling spikes too . She's much easier to handle now. Haha get it, "handle" Please excuse my terrible attempt at a joke. I think my brain cooked like an egg today at work.
Finished the job at my brother's Zoo city 272 My friend gave me this amazon peavy Works good but the wood is very soft. I left this for my brother to run he trimmed al the limbs down while I blocked He's ordering himself one.
Heck of a windstorm blew this tulip poplar down. Got most of it cleaned up after lunch. XS362c got er done.
