For sure...on all that !! Gonna assemble the right equipment this summer..then hit it this fall when the weather is cooler . Dont need a hot hand and sweat dripping in my eyes !!!!
You should do ok with a 28" on that one. Keep it as light and short as possible since you will have to cut from either side anyways. Unless your next saw is a 3120 with a 48"+ bar!
Im hoping the 28" will do fine . I dont wanna have to buy another bar ! And dont get me thinkin of a 3120 with a 48" bar ! LOL
Thats great info for sure . Im a visual guy ! Was it too much of a pain with the 24 " ? Plus...the Makita thats coming has "big" spikes . They look as if they take away 2" away from the usable length of the bar. Just would had to realize I snagged the wrong bar you know
It was the biggest bar I had at the time so it had to work. The cuts just had to be dead on in line. I cut it with the 440 (pre 395) it has the single small spike.
Would LOVE to tackle that beast with the Mac 125C..... Only have a 30" bar for it now,hope to get a 48" in a couple months.Though the 42" that fits the 288XPW & 2100CD would work in a pinch.....
You can also noodle off sections as you go instead of trying for one big round. I use to do that a lot before I got my 25" bar & tractor to load the logs with. Now if the log is large & solid it goes to the saw mill. If it large but not mill worth, I still will noodle as I cut using a 17" bar. It works as a gauge for cutting the length of the round & the round is held in a steady position so it is easy & safe to make several noodle cuts. Noodling in diagonals like "X" works well for me. It also made it easier to flip them onto my hand truck/cart to move around.
