I'm pretty sure your chain was on at least 6 different saws today.

Yep that chain is a touch slutty.

Thanks for the nod friend.

The hybrids really impressed me today guys, great job to all of you. I think most (if not all) were running 046-D jugs?

Deets, your B&C got hoed out so much today, I took the B&C off my 046 and put it on your hybrid! It is a 24" wide nose with square file.

Jason, as always your work was impressive, happy to have run them.

My friend John (it was his first GTG) loved the event.

And Lee's "Big Iron" saws always make an impression, especially when you get ot run them.

Hope there is video of Al's long bar 026, it was insane that the little saw could pull that bar, but it did it surprisingly well.

Even my MMWS 362 did well today with a clean air filter. I did not have time to clean it before the previous GTG, and the performance reflected that.

In the rush to leave the house this morning, and load everything in John's truck, my 2 460s managed to stay home in the garage ... bummer ... I'll have em next time. But I can not complain about how the rest of my saws ran.

It was great to see everyone, new faces & old, run tons of great saws, introduce someone new to the event, and eat great food. Thanks to everyone who prepared for it, and everyone who came, this is really a nice event. My friend John was really impressed with how friendly everyone was, and willing to share their knowledge, not to mention getting to run some of Lee's big saws!

[Time's Standing Stihl]

Yuppers. 044 hybrid. We ran it with a 8 pin most of the day. The last video that Dallas posted is with a 7 pin.

 

[Time's Standing Stihl]

Very nice brutha!

I'll post up the photos and videos I have. It ain't much.

My carbon insert bar bar got to see some cuts for the first time.

I believe the gentleman on the rights's name was Duane. He's not on the forum yet, but I have a feeling he will be after this.

A stock 44 or 46 for comparison would show the hybrids true colors. Definitely my favorite saw

Nobody even has a "stock" saw anymore....maybe we should start a new fad.....stock saws.....

 

[MustangMike]

Two of my saws were not ported, but not really stock either.

It is not that people don't have stock saws, they just hide them at GTG time!

 

[SOS Ridgerider]

This saw is loud!

Marcello left me his 460 to port. I'll run it with your hybrid for comparison Keith.

I would love to run some of Lee's big saws,one day I hope to.

Bring plenty o ear plugs....my ear plugs needed ear plugs....and I was about 100' away. Those saws vibrate the earth...then cut wood....

Nice meeting everyone today.. Special thanks to Dan and "Y" for hosting.
Great bunch of folks.
