Any Loggers Here?

[Tecate250]

Hey guys. Different topic. Im A lumber Jack And Im Ok. Any other loggers on here? I swear by Stihl. Have owned 4. 024, MS 360, ms 440 and a 041. Also have a huge Homelite zip saw a mac Collah 10-10 a pioneer. Pics later.
But I love logging. Its a sin the woods are shutting down. By far my favotite job to date.

dude chainsaws are so uotdated in real logging now,,, we used feller bunchers,, grapple skidders delimbers and a haun harvester ,,, 70 loads a day ,,, not a chainsaw on the side,,,

[Tecate250]

Yeah and thats why you have no trees to cut. Lazy loggers use harvesters and bunchers. JK. I perfer working hard. I work at the first job of man.

im not a logger but i do a bunch of tree work in association with my lawn care company. Right now the only regular saw i own is an echo CS 370 and it is a great small saw, probably my favorite small saw to date.

My all time favorite saw is the 757 shindiawa. That thing is a horse. Nice and light but tons of power.

I have ran a 440 stihl and was pretty impressed, but i hate all of stihls handhelds. They are trash, but they do build a pretty good saw.

I hate huskys as well, hard starting gutless bastards in my experience.

i do land clearign and excavating for a living my favoite saw has to be the husky 385xp and my little stihn 025 for a ganeral play saw.

My dad is a logger so I was also for about 10 years ran husky's and stihl saws for the most part we did pick up a couple tanaka's WOW what a great little power house the japs really know how to build small engines

I come from Family of tree killers. I went logging for 2 months following high school graduation. I quit and went in the ARMY, I wanted something easier than those nasty pines in Eastern Washington.

My dad is out of the active logging scene now, but he plays with the fastest chainsaws in the world. I have a few lifts under my belt, but it isn't for me.

the first link is from pacific raceways a few years back. My dad is the "little guy" with the 8

Sweet! I can't believe your dad made the predator. I seen that awhile back and wondered. Someone has WAYYY to much free time. But now I want one.
Here are my saws and our "new" gear.






All these saws work. And I have "cut" wood with them all except the Mac. That one I might build something out of. I love the look of the old saws.

Our Timberjack Porter

Our Masive v8 diesle Clark Skidder

And this pos. I hope it never runs again. But looks sweet.

[Tecate250]

Oops 3 saws are missing. My blown up MS 360 My 440 magnum stihl (its in the woods) my old 024 stihl that my bro in law now owns. My first craftsman what ever it was. Can't remember where that went.

My dad didn't build the predator. His buddy by the name of "beer can" bob andrews did. My dad and bob have the fastest time known at .88 seconds on a 30" log. the predator is a very high dollar build (right around 15k) and my dads saws come in 3-4k each. To me the Harley powered saws are way more impressive, but that is my opinion.

[Tecate250]

Sweet Brapp. My old loggers outfit had a grapple. JD too. Yours have a steering wheel with 8 speed tranny? You log yourself? Im collecting saws. Like trikes but these are usually free. My 440 cost me over 1000$ a few years ago. I want bigger. Id like to get a 24 inch bar on the old girl.

I am not a logger, but I posted a logging video on youtube:

My wife comes from a logging family. I helped saw about 20000 feet of lumber to build our house with.

in my oppinion the old pioneer p 42's were an awesome allaround saw and to this day will abotu out cut any of the modern stihl 044's or ms440's or the husky 372's of the same size. i have 3 of them and they ar eoutdated caus you make 2 trees cut and de limbed and your refillign the fuel lol and thier heaby and try luggign a husky 385 around with a 36 inch bar all day and a gallon og fel and oil all day.
