Very odd jib and main boom cantilevered action, WTF I'm lost man lol

It’s what they call a parallel boom design. If I use the stick joystick to push it out it will pull the main boom cylinder out at the same time, same is true if you bring the stick in the boom cylinder comes in so your head is always at the same level. The system works pretty well but it does take a while to get use to compared to how we all normally run a machine in North America. Now if this machine was one serial newer it would have Intelligent Boom Control IBC for short which also controls the squirt off the sticks position so as you reach out the squirt is coming out already same with in.

One of my favorite forms of forestry is firewooden. It's just second on my list of favorite things to spend time on. My first is working with my horse then third is working on saws lol.
The wet boot and flippy caps, you guess the rest!!!

Pushing 80 degrees F out here, insane for this time of year, but got lucky and found a Doug fir blowdown in the shade, jamming to some good old country music and chugging cherry Pepsi....what a life!

This little thing decided to follow me home the other day and with a few tanks of gas through it this afternoon it’s a so so saw with a 28 at most. It’s a smooth light saw but it’s lacking something even in comparison to my old 372’s time will tell if it stays or takes a hike for my use it’s only good for limbing with some bucking for falling in big stuff it’d be a no go.

Yeah, just not enough grunt IMO even compared to some other saws within a cc or so. Good utility saw around the place for me if I still had one. I have had three, but all are in other hands now. I personally really dislike the nub on the pistol grip towards the top cover. They can certainly do the job though.
