A couple gum videos

CCC4 · July 17, 2014, 09:12:12 PM

I originally had posted that I swung this tree 45*...however it was actually 90*. My initial cut was the natural lean dominance, it wa headed towards a ERC thicket that I didn't want to hang up in. Face was difficult due to hanging over a 4ft creek bank, using my knee as my lock point.

!

2nd video is from yesterday, contract cutting on FS unit. I havent been bringing my camera and decide I needed to make a little video!

! As always Thanks for viewing.

Looks good! Is that the 660 you did some work too? Seems to have good power

So I take it you don't get poison ivy or oak.

Thanks man! That is an older model 066, I cut the internal baffel out of the muffler and added the dual port cover to it. The saw has nice power, I am going to do a top end on it pretty soon. I smashed my 660 a few months back...it's in a box needing some serious attention.

Lullz... no man, I have never got it. I have no idea why either.

I didn't used to get it from PI, but then about 40, things changed and now takes very little contact.
However, if I can wash with soap and water within a couple hours of exposure, no rash or itch.

Yeh I have crushed a few not a good feeling. Do you use your huskys much anymore?

I get it fairly easy. Couple of weeks ago I cut a tree that had it in it. As quick as I finished up with that tree my p/u was close. In it I had some of the higher strength rubbing alcohol. Poured liberally over my arms and wiped off with paper towels.

That alcohol is pretty handy to carry. It's cheap, can use to clean minor wounds, it makes a pretty good hand cleaner and not to shabby to use as a degreaser to clean parts in a pinch.

Yeh, the walk of shame is almost unbearable. I never did put my 288XP back together and my 372XP has got some problems that need tending to. I want my 288XP back though, that saw had some good power. I really like the 066"s and 660 series though, even though a slight bit heavy, they have a really good solid feel that I like. The 372 cut really nice and I would use it again, but it's easier to just grab a working saw and go on with your day.

I feel fortunate I don't get it.
