You certainly know about it when you have to put a gob in at chest height with a 3120 on a 3ft bar

I put the first part of the cut in with the 461 then chuck the big saw in the cut

It's what I got sent with that day, it was that or 365 on an 18 inch bar, was a big old oak that had an open rot pocket right up the front so was easier to do it with the big saw so both sides of the gob were level.

I have used one up a tree on spikes more than once ... ( and I am not that big and strong !!) not nice but necessary ! I can hardly believe they are still making and selling them ,I had one about 20 years ago , Stihl have had several big saws since then and to be honest I think they are far better !!

Sold mine . Much prefer my 395 .

I had the 090 out on the mill today, one lot this morning, another this afternoon. Certainly feel it after lugging it back at the end of each cut.

Evening Paul,

 

It's off and set up but not done - I had to go out this afternoon to mill an oak which has been drying for about 5yrs with no bark or sapwood. Made the maple seem easy (and a 4" thick lump of it x 18" wide and 12' long was seriously heavy even compared with the whitebeam).

 

Yes, funny we were talking about big saws. I did figure why mine was playing up though - clogged air filter from the maple.

I've got a mak 9010, and thats a heavy lump as well, Dont use it much. I keep a 28" bar on it. Wouldnt get rid of it though, hopefully do some milling with it one day.

Mine been superb. Bought it second hand. Maybe I've had it 7 years now. Was always a great workhorse....but when I had it modded it was phenomenal. I have a 36, 46, and 50 in bars.

[difflock]

Not kidding, the one on the shelf had what looked like a 60" bar on it.

I believe David said they sell 5 or 6 a year into the NI market, which cannot make sense, quite seriously (or do Mcilraths have the entire Irish distributorship for Husquarna, which would perhaps be sensible)

Anyway seriously impressive kit.
