Powersaws - what's everyone using?

Here's an 8ft Simonds 'Royal Chinook' . . . . it's never been 'in wood'.
This is a falling saw, bucking saws were a little deeper with a straight back.
Cardio? you bet!
 
Went for a drive in the woods... scouting for trash for our non-profit so we can organize volunteer cleanups...this is why I bring a saw...

First one I cut. Second one is going to need a least a D9.

And yes, 17.5 acres in Oregon 22 minutes from town is awesome. We're right on the edge of the Willamette National Forest.

Wife and I were in Willamette for our honeymoon, then to Seattle. Beautiful

Not familiar with your tree species in Oregon . . . first looks like a Western Red Hemlock, secound a Douglas Fir.
Nice country!

I'm pretty terrible with species identification...but yes, definitely would agree.

We had a big grand fir go down across our 150 road off 1802. Wish I had brought my tractor.


Technically that's the second part... here's the fir-st. JIC.

There's nothing quite like a big Husky with lots of crack! Walkerized?

not yet... was picking up raspberry stalks for my folks and the farmer I was getting them from had a shed full of old saws and that's how I came to own it. I gotta do a full rebuild on it still. Parts for my old 075 stihl came in first so that'll get done first, then the 3120.

After that I'll turn my effort back to an old stihl 200T to make into my new jeep saw
