Guy I cut for part time for wanted me to use zip ties instead of measuring and marking logs with chalk to speed things up. Works pretty good from either end of the log, but I'll stick with my ruler and chalk. Guess this old guy is set in his ways. Attach a zip tie to the handle, measure from bars edge and cut it off to your desired length. Line up zip tie with end of log and cut. I've seen it done before but first time I've tried it. Anybidy do it this way?
I mentioned that in a recent conversation asking him to pay for it, which he declined of course. If there was incentive for me to do so I would. He loved my 400 with the bark box muffler, but it sucks down mix too fast so haven't used it there in recent cuts. He a big street bike guy.
