Maybe, but that means the buyer pruned off an amazing amount of branches as the tree grew tall. Perhaps only the homeowner could confirm that.
Could be...especially in that area. Tree had visible rot in the base and they finally decided it had to come down. Residential trees are always interesting...especially in older neighborhoods.
More than likely a small Stihl screwdriver with an orange handle played a part in this.
There is nothing out there that can destroy a chainsaw faster than a crew working for a tree service company or the owner for that matter. And, just take a look at how they store or throw the saws in the truck's bed. I suppose I should not complain. They generate a repair business for me in rather short order.
Very very true.
It sure has. Overall its been a pretty decent build. The clone 660 build beside it on the bench was built about the same time..maybe a bit earlier. Again it's held up pretty good. Its the operators ... not the saws.
Manual carb saws & ported saws should never be given to crews of boneheads & ne'er-do-wells. Stock Auto-tune or M-tronic only. Ported saws are invaluable tools in the hands of skilled operators or those with mechanical knowledge. I have observed clearing crews on the transmission line easement through our property on several occasions, and it was not a pretty sight.
Here is the chain it was running. It wasn't terrible but I hold a high standard for chain. Much better than most of his chains..the rakers are way low.
