    Buddy of mine is building a house. Well the duffas bulldozer operator knocked a big Honey Locust tree in the pond that is getting filled in. He wanted it out, but the bottom was too soft for the dozer or me to get in. So what better day to get in the bottom of the pond than today in freezing weather. Took my 440, 460, & 576 to play time. The 440 & 576 wore 25" bars while the 460 got the 32" bar. Got all cut up, now another day to get them dragged out. I should have some nice splits.

    No winch on the dozer? He should have at least pulled it out of the hole for you.

    It wasn't too bad in out of the wind, 16 degrees in the sun. Thanks on saws, their my babies...

    I was hoping that he would have dragged it out, but he didn't. I'll figure a way to get them out, they will be worth it.

    Its really pulling my strings. I like my Stihls, but theres just something about both my Husky's that make me smile. They are both strong runners. I need to put the 32" bar on the 576 to see how it does. But I've got another 460 coming home with me and I think it will have a 36" bar with it, as soon as I get some dollars put together.

    576 is deceptively strong. They're so smooth and don't have the hot rod sound of a 372 either.
