PAST CT Spring GTG May 6th 2017

[Hedgerow]

There was definately a faster side, that one can't was rough

Don't get me wrong, my 365 is stout..
But I know for a fact that Joey had a Wiggs built 365 that was faster and tundra had a Copsey 365 that was faster..
But that's how stuff shakes out sometimes.
The mutt "Mike Lee" built 7900 was one of the fastest 5 cube saws there, but got beat early by the saw that won the class..
It's just how stuff works out!
Still fun to just "runnem"!!

Lee, if I remember correctly, the only reason they won that big log time test was they didn't let your Stihl piston powered 166 run it it ... right!!!!

So when is Hedgefest?

Not sure...
But when I hold another one, it will be centered around racing. With classes for stock and modified and vintage.
Also at a time of year we ain't busy doing a bunch of other *s-word...
We'll have a sawmill on site and be doing a bunch of chainsaw carving too.
I'm a sucker for carving.

That's how it goes. I never thought I'd won 6 cube with that 660 at Randys either. I figured John would beat me with that killer Solo.

I didn't think you were winning it either

I thought you would beat me with your 394.

It was close. Shoulda tightened that chain up. I had to tap on the chain with a scrench to get it on with that 9 pin. Didn't think there was any way it was coming off. Oh well

Damn junky chains anyway...

You talking about the Ct gtg, or another one ?
IIRC, in Ct, everyone that wanted to run something in the big wood was able to

 

[paragonbuilder]

Oh? But will it end up as legendary at the 261 everyone was drooling over at your GTG?

I'm kinda hoping he had it figured out now and mine will be even better!

Soooooo, I gots this here twenty ninty fo that I kinda forgot about.
Runs real good but I ain't cut nuttin with it yet. Guess it might be
a great candidate to mess with a bit since I ain't got a whole lot in
it. So, Look out you boys i'm gonna give it a try at make me a foolish
square log cutting saw.
Square logs, Whole the hell ever thought of that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hell yeah Lee!!

Just remember we usually don't run 7/16 scratcher chain.

 

[paragonbuilder]

What ya guys think, Can we get some 36 incher cants fo next time around
as I kinda felt left out a bit.

I'll see what I can dig up. That big boy turned into a test log...
I think I'm gonna need more large wood and more cants next year...

I don't think so... Remember that one is an Arctic, has an extra generator from factory. Your Made in the USA 261 hasn't got a chance... (trash talking like I was the guy running the saw, not watching it on a screen, lol).

That generator must slow it down some...[emoji33]

Scott was nice enough to let me cut with em. He timed me and I was faster
but not by a whole lot. 2 seconds faster if I remember correctly then my
times got better. I think my best was 12 seconds faster. But i'm only running
off the role 3/8 full skip with rakers down 40. That log was sum hard. They
were running 404 full comp.
