Chainsaws and those who use them

Currently have a Johnsered 625, johnsered 2054, husky 355, two stihl MS 170s, and a stihl 009. And burn about five liters of saw gas a year…..‍♂️
 
Did tree work part time in the '70's. Had a light weight Mac which I used to take aloft. Some older Homelites, red ones. And a Homelite Super Wiz 80, 6 cubic inch, bucking spikes were cast bronzes about 3". Weight was humongus, the small bar was 27" and the big bar was 36" with a bolt on aluminum handle for the man on the other end. It was a beast, never stalled it. Finally wound up with a Stihl 024 in the late '70's and got out of the biz as my new wife did not care for me doing that. Got scars from spurs digging out and hugging trees. I used pole spurs instead of tree spurs since we did a lot of topping and trim jobs. Great experience at the time, not doing it again though!

I burn that much in a long day, 625s are my all time favourite saw.

Climbing is something that doesn’t happen much here, there is only one guy I know of that does it and he does specialty logging around the towns and such.
 
I have a Husqvarna Rancher. This is me back when I had two legs. Storm made a bunch of deadfall. It would have been much cleaner, but I had to stop for a wandering 11 year old.
