Random Thought Of The Day

I am a bit partial to my bark box

I heard a bark box today for the first time. I could not imagine running one all day on a job. Not only for the operator’s sake but anyone within an eighth mile radius of it. A full wail siren is less noise pollution than this thing.

I got and Egan? version on a 500i, with earplugs it isn't bad to run but when I was working in a closed, insulated shop and someone started it 500' away down a hill I thought they fired an 056 up right outside the door. It makes it's presence known, it'll echo through the canyons for miles!

I have never heard a 500 with a Bark Box but I will tell ya I have some saws here that will rattle your teeth. This is a video from 16-17 years ago at a show. I am running one of my Homelite 770GS saws. They are a unique saw with a 2 speed gearbox. They are very loud.

NOTE: I know the first cut in low gear was embarrassing as I cut out. I was trying to save as much wood as possible.
