    Unfortunately, that’s on the wrong side of the Country, or I could show up with the 3120XP with this 60” mounted, 395XP with a 44” mounted, and a 390XP with a 36” mounted, that should get me started

    Are you guys with the huge bars trying to compensate for sumptin?

    You forgot they usually have a trash can lid for a belt buckle and talk with a southern accent even though they have never been south of the mason dixon line and the super duty does not even have a scratch in the bed :rofl: :lol:

    Nope just live in the West Coast Mountains, where we have trees that need more than a 20” Bar;)

    Actually, I do some CSMing, that 60” Bar will let me mill table tops up to about 52” wide

    You want sumptin to giggle about, how’s about the Big Truck Wannabe Posers with Dodge/Rams, with the 8” exhaust pipe coming vertically through the Bed?:rofl: :lol:

    Now there’s somthin us Real Truck Drivers Really Laugh about :whistle:

    Don’t worry my little bro, works for a company that makes specialty wood products, with burls and bowls . Sometimes you just need a bigger bar!!

    He doesn’t think anybody needs less than a 70 cc with a 28” Bar for limbing so you don’t have to bend down:rofl: :lol:

    I've noodled one or two that just wouldn't split.
    It would have been a lot easier to just throw them out and be done with them
    but do not like the defeat trophy sometimes.
