Hi George, Yep, it is more how you do it that what you do it with. I have a little 024 shihl I cut everything with. If it is bigger than what I can do with the saw, I use a good ol fashioned crosscut. That cross cut has saved me a ton of money since it is rare I have to use it and you know what the big saws cost. This tree I just flat read wrong. It had a slight "S" bend to it and not much of a top.I thought it would go one way and it decided to go the opposite when it finally did go. I looked at the stump and there was only a half inch of vertical wood that was undercut, holding the tree up. It basicly just balanced on the stump and it is a 60 ft tree with no top mind you. I have to tell you the waiting on it to fall is worse than picking up a first date. There was no wind at all that day. That H really impressed me and I am almost thinking it might be a stronger engine than the M or at least close. I need to pull those plugs and check the pistons, I bet it has some "good ones" in there. It did use some oil though. I did some fiddling with the carb as I pulled logs up hill and I got it leaned out where it doesn't have black smoke under load and it wants a little choke when starting and it really runs nice when it warms up but after running hard it wanted to run on a bit when shutting it off. Maybe it just needs to get good and cleaned out. As far as the M goes, well the power steering started leaking like crazy one day and the next it just dripped a little. Also the 3 point lift wasn't working so good and it is driven off the PS pump. On top of that, the clicking noise is back in the clutch with a load on it.I have some figuring to do on it I think, but I need to get those logs loaded before they spoil.
