    201 rear handle tag teamed with the 400 today. I should give my 028 some run time though.

    I highly recommend some 028 run time :thumbs: That's what I used this morning cutting the hickory, ash and oak. I actually just filed a square ground chain for it and am looking forward to seeing how it does on it. On a side note, filing 0.325 chain to square grind is a serious PITA. There's a lot less room to sneak a file in there without digging into the tie straps. :picard:

    Mebbe I'll throw the 16" bar on it vs the 18" on there now.

    Cutting more dead BL tomorrow, just in a different honey hole! ;) :whistle:

    Another benefit to having a fleet of saws. :dex: :saw: :saw: :saw: :saw: One of mine didn't start today. I went as far as changing in a new plug. When that didn't work, I simply moved on. Had 2 other :saw::saw: in the truck. :D

    I used to never 'go out' with only one saw. I have gotten more brave about it over the years but any 'serious' days I will still have at least one backup. (not so much for when they won't run, but for when I get my bar hung in a log! lol)
