i get a kick out of these woodsmen who don't think it's important to protect themselves by wearing a hard hat, ear plugs or face guard. One wonders how many years they have been at this to be able to hear anything, including the freakin' tree when it hits the turf.

Nice to see some green wood being cut. I've had waaaaaay more fire salvage over the last 10 years than green. Sucks.
I've always run the West Coast Saws big dawgs on my 500 and I've cracked 2 clutch covers. Never liked those covers because a thrown chain would usually squeeze between the cover and the end of the crank forcing the bar nuts to be loosened or even removed to put the chain back on. I just put one of the beautiful milled billet WCS covers on but haven't thrown a chain yet. There is more space so a chain should be able to just be rolled back on. Now if someone would come up with a solution for the self destructing vibro-matic shrouds on these saws (661's too). What a joke. 3 days maximum and the plastic pins disintegrate. Do they even test these saws before they release them on the market?

Hats off to you guys! An extremely dangerous job requiring knowledge, skill, strength and balls of steel. I learn so much watching, thanks for taking the time to show the saw and your skill. God Bless and be safe!

Well done, not a single tail pulled out of the butt. Seeing a fan of 2 foot tails being pulled out of the butt of those huge western softwood always bugs the hell out of me.
