    Yes, it has quite a bit more thump than it did stock. :). If you saw the vid, you'll see it gave Scotty no trouble at all.

    I watched that video. Swags has to be pretty trusting taking down a big one that close to the house. Something I would never do myself.

    Incomplete, help me finish it if you are not listed. This photo is not everybody that was there either. I can think of at least a few that were there but did not make the photo.

    Swags had a guide line hooked to his tractor and the tree and he pulled it over.

    Well, we did have a pro orchestrating the takedown. That's Scotty running the saw. And we had all kinds of good equipment on site.

    It would have been 14 states, had you and the Ohio mafia come out!!! There will be another... Soon...
    Your set up would do just fine...
    We usually run 3 cuts from hands on the wood, so practice yer changeovers, and we'll play either next spring, or maybe late this fall!!!
    BTW...
    We do a lot more eating and BS'ing around the fire than anything else...

    You know, we didn't do a ton of that, partially because of the weather. (Note that I had rain gear on in several pics). Plenty of BSing after dark inside however. :)

    I did a lot of wrenching and running saws the whole weekend. And loved every minute of it. Given infinite fuel/oil/time I would be a dangerous man in the woods. I love wrenching on them almost as much as I love running them. ;)
