    Old school iron is cool as he11 but my hands hurt after making a few cuts. Probably one on that beastie you’re dicing up. The sounds they make are awesome too. My old Pioneer muffler is more about style than function.

    You nailed that one when you said " big uglies"
    Nice to see some old iron do a little breathing.

    The small saws seem to bother my hands but these big ones have so much mass to them they do not bother me to much and they do sound good JB

    Those saws remind me when I still worked in the woods. Mostly good memories from the 50's and 60's.

    Thats a biggun. That sound you hear is a sigh of relief from jrider thankful he didn't have to process it.

    Did Rickyblazin get some saw time?

    Klotz instantly transforms me back to my early teens going to the moto-x races.

    That’s definitely a handful. I try to avoid anything bigger than about 20” and try to stick with straighter stuff.

    I used to take all the uglies because that’s what was available. But now I can be choosy. Have fun with that one.

    I do not have much problem with them I have the splitter on the skid loader to break them up first then we run them over the other splitter makes it easy JB
