Big Ass chainsaw!

[CHOP SHOP]

I'd save the one from hotsaw doom if it were me as you can het good money if you find the right collector.

Thats true, but if I was an 056MagII, I would love to visit the Loggers Jubilee and get the **** wound out of me instead of sitting on a shelf in an apartment somehwere in town. :redneck:

They seem to have high prices on the net, but they never sell. Theres 4 of them on CL right now for under $400 and they ALL have been listed frro over 2 months.

The problem is that they are not a productive saw anymore and the ignition costs about $200 to fix correctly.


So if ya get one for $100 with no spark and it costs 200 to fix it, its kinda a wash on value. Im a sucker tho! :redneck:

Come to the jubilee, I'm there every year racing mowers!

What do you need off a TS400? I might be able to hook a brother up.....again. :redneck:

I thought you would chime in.

 

[CHOP SHOP]

Damn, my bad. After reading it again I need one from a ts350/360.

 

[ain'tstuckjustresting]

Well ****, we have a few 400/420 saws for spare parts.

Chop, I may be hitting you up for your cutting skills. Wife and I are putting in a wood stove in the house and want to build a nice mantle. Im thinking saw cut timber, maybe 6"x8"x5' or so. Not sure on what kinda wood I want yet. Ill let you know when we get closer if you are interested.

Use old growth fir or cedar from the coast. The curl in the first 6-8 feet of the butt looks best IMO.

Cedar shelf, 4 inch and 3 inch slabs

Shelf looks great.

I agree. Im a sucker for cedar. I love the waves in the butts grain and the white/red sap/heartwood transition too.

For big wood my old 090 could pull a long bar just not much chain speed, and heavy to pack around. That wood is now only for looking at

32" or 84" bar it was all the same speed. :beer:

Ya slow, but when you are cutting and jacking and then cutting and jacking some more, that slow chain speed gives you time to argue with your buddy about the best lay:eeek:

Oh how I miss those days. Busheling on steep ground, jacking 2-3 nice yellow fir you got your day in and made a good wage.

Oh ya, last old growth timber I was in, was in Darington on the 62 road. Biggest Doug fir we cut was 89" on the big end and 55' later it was 76". Had a hell of a time getting it on the lowbed for its trip to Oregon.

Nice piece of wood for sure! Last old growth I cut was in 2011 up the Kalama river. Spent 4 months jacking it all uphill.
Largest I cut over the years was 12'9" at the face and had 19,990 board feet in it. Cutting just isn't the same anymore.

don't know how I been missing this post ! you sir have stricken my fancy.. just quick question where did you get your Alaskan mill at like what price range? are you using a rip chain? and is there a reason why your running 3 inch slab cuts?(does chain just pretty much snap your work or what?)
