Yes, thats a bark box. Buddy of mine has one on his 661 and holy mother of god is it deafening loud, even with ear pro.

I get a little anal with this... This is what i do if im sending out a PH for some reason: 1. Double bag the PH in heavy duty contractor bags after emptying gas and oil, zip tie shut and trim excess 2. find heavy box that is roughly 1.5" bigger than the PH all around 3. Take a can or two of...

Around me you would have a line of people that would be fighting to take it. Would be gone within a few hours once the word was put out. This year in particular anything 3" and bigger people are fighting for, havent seen it like this before.

For me white/red oak is most prevalent - once dry/seasoned its perfect for my needs, takes a while though, man that stuff likes to hold water. Ash is great when i can find it and its viable. Tons of poplar around but that mainly stays as bur barrel/firepit wood, along with maple. Buddy of mind...

The other week i ran VP C9 mixed 32:1 with maxima K2. Normally, when i mix the same ratio with 93 octane pump gas the exhaust smells pretty damn bad - this time with VP C9 i had little to no odor. It was completely bizarre. Exhaust smelled slightly sweet, nothing else, no smoke, nothing. Im...

Ive never run it, definitely not opposed to it - main issue is finding it locally in my area (I like to support small businesses in my area, when possible)

Understood. Thanks Spike!

@Spike60 Given the secrecy behind this saw, and having to keep things "hush hush" to a degree - Is there anything else you can tell us regarding performance/economy compared to other husky and/or stihl models? Of the people that you have allowed to demo it in the field (im assuming this has...

That Case had power to spare pulling that plow, couldve doubled it and i bet it wouldve done just fine. I know its a replica, but ya just cant beat old heavy iron!

So i decided to call VP tech line directly. From the VP tech rep directly - there is ZERO issue mixing C9 with two cycle oil.

Great pic! To me, the era just after WWII was phenomenal for so many reasons. I was born too late, i think i would've loved that time period!

All, Im probably splitting hairs here, but its what we do with saws, right? :applaudit::applaudit: Im helping a friend of mine remove some large trees this weekend. I thought it would be a good time to give the canned gas a shot and see if i notice any sort of difference - at the very least...

I have skip and full comp for everything, except my 42" bar which has a loop of square skip and a loop of round skip. Ive been cutting a lot of swamp maple lately, and have switched to skip, since those trees always seem to gush water when felling them, kinda amazes me how much they leak...

Nice! You Aussies have some crazy species in Oz. How does that iron bark burn? Im guessing really hot and slow???

Havent run a 572 yet, but definitely agree the 390 is choked up from the factory - after Brad Snelling did mine it was a whole different animal.

Reaalllllllly Stupid question - Never considered "specialty" fuels to be a viable options in some cases - ive burned more C16 than i care to admit while i was a race mech. My question is this, im assuming its ok to mix maxima K2 in the sunoco "4-cycle" fuel at 32:1 with no issues??? Would...

Is red gum the wood that has huge amounts of reddish sap in it, red/brown stringy bark and hard as nails???

Thank you, sir. Good to know. I love my 372/XPW. May pick up another complete power head and or a top end "just incase".

@Spike60 - May be a stretch here, but if they are bringing the 372 back, does that mean OE jugs & pistons are available for it and the 372XPW 75cc variant?

Not surprised to read this. This is my first MMWS, this saw continues to surprise me when i run it.
