I went to my favorite wood pile today. Put a 36" on the 661, and a new RS full comp chain and worked up a big ol chunk of Elm. Got four nice sized rounds out of that log, all blocked up, loaded up ready to head home. made one video,
thanks I had a blast today!! I love my CTD's, been driving them since 1998, I've had a few of them. Good trucks!! That one has 300k on it
Thanks! It really handled the 36" better then I thought it would I have 12 tanks threw the 661 now, it has really woke up! I lied in my 1st post, I made two vids today. here is the other one. I started out noodling one of those rounds with the 441, got about 1/4 of the way threw and just had to get the 661 back in my hands not sure what happened at 1:05, all I did was set the 441 on my tailgate, sounds like I threw it, but I didn't!! no problems with the PNW cover clogging when noodling.
Must be nice to be able to wear a t shirt and also not have to have muck boots on to cut. It's still just cold enough here for a coat but warm enough to thaw the ground so it's all mud Great load btw.
Your the 2nd guy who mentioned that, about t-shirt weather. It was a beautiful day yesterday, but we are not out of the woods yet!! April is a brutal month here for snow, being 3 hours east of the Rockies, we get some wicked snow storms in late March to the beginning of May, we had 5" of wet heavy snow last mothers day. April is probably our snowiest month of winter!! I enjoy the nice days this time of year!! But it can change in a matter of an hour here.
We get snow in April quite a bit but usually gone within 2 days at most. This year could surprise us though. Was colder day after day for longer than I can remember. Getting a week off here now but it ain't over till it's over.
Thanks Dexter, how was your day today any pics of vids to share of your 460/461 shootout I am so glad I bought the 661 the only thing that would be better then having a 661, wood be having two 661's I could see it happening (I think) Trying to convince myself, it would be nice to have one for bucking, and one for noddling, that way they have a chance to rest/cool down between use's, and I wood not wear one of them out. Whatya say, sound like a good plan?
No pics or vids. But SquareFile did come over with his Arsenal of saws and I ran the 2171, 460, and 461.. All were very close.. Very close (few tenths). The only pic I took was before he got here. This was the log that we attacked with my three 70 cc saws and his 390xp, 346xp, 346xp (yes. 2 of them), 2153 (a 3rd), and his minty Husq 2100. The 2100 he left here for my display in the basement. I bought a couple pulleys and I am working on how to hang it in my basement now. I want it to lay level. Not bar down like the others I have hanging (I have 4 or 5 left to hang). There is only 4 in this pic.
I like that log holder! Is that a skid on the one end so you can move it? Nice basement also!! Wish mine looked half as nice!! I bet you guys had fun! It is always nice to have someone to cut with or hang out with. I've been cutting alone since the GTG I had in January. The coalition is thinking about meeting again in a few weeks (if we can all get our schedules to jive) so I should have someone to cut with
It's two 1 x 6 runners. The snow was pretty deep, so I just used those for "floatation". It was basically made out of whatever scraps I had lying close.
