    image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg Had just enough bar in my 660 (32") to drop and buck this big boy! Thought there might be a little rot in because the top was off, but it was solid all the way through! Got some more work to get it split yet, guessing there will be some noodeling going on!

    One day I'd like to run one of them, but im guessing it would then make my saws feel inadequate!!

    It can do that. After I droped the tree and bucked the big stuff I switched to my 460 25" and it felt like a trim saw!

    I love the big thump when those big ones hit. Nice work!

    LOL!!! ya for sure!!!! send that box elder to the mill!!! it makes some beautiful wood.

    the bark in your pics almost looks like a hard maple but the branches and growth almost look like silver maple. Just guessing though. should be some nice firewood either way. :thumbs:

    Thanks! I have.a hard time justifying it also, but it's fun to run. Could have gotten the job done with the 460, just would have taken longer.

    I'm trying to justify getting a 36" b&c, but hav'nt need it yet.

    Got a 36" on my 660 & 32" on my 064 the difference is negligible. Not sure I'd spend the $$$. 660 is a great saw to have if you gotta deal with 24" up & trees. I love mine when I pick it & when I can put it down. Nice drop BTW.

    I love the big saws all the time so long as I don't have to run them any more.
