Nice to see that old girl getting a workout. The early 066's rip. Love the logging content Gordy!

[@westcoastsaw1368]

That very 066 was the very first saw that got me started in this business It was my buddy Jerry’s saw (he was one hell of a faller) “RIP”and someone he had working for him ran it on a woodpile with a dull chain and did her in “piston and cylinder”……. I called him up and was looking for a saw to do some falling with on my property and he said “take this old thing you’ll figure out how to make her go” 😁

[@Jclutch089]

I’m loving the logging content Gordy. I’m a huge fan and supporter of your business. I have a 500i and 2 661’s and am running your BarkBox mufflers, 3 point felling dogs, and chain catchers on all 3 of them. You make amazing products and I tell everyone about your company. Thanks for everything you do buddy!

[@westcoastsaw1368]

Well that’s awsome feedback thank you for all your support 🤝

[@shaneclark207]

Garrett's an animal. Big knowledge, big skill, big experience. Fun to watch a confident pro. 👊🏼👍🏼🤙🏼

[@westcoastsaw1368]

Couldn't agree more!

[@PimSchouten]

21:30 very valuable point there, and a good motto for everything you do in life. You literally learn something from literally everybody. Positive or negative. A lesson is a lesson. Thank you for pointing that our Gordy. Its a valuable lesson for absolutely everyone.

[@Karakaboardriders]

Agreed 😊 I’ve learned thing’s from apprentices. Everyone has something to offer/ teach you

[@PimSchouten]

@@Karakaboardriders absolutely

[@westcoastsaw1368]

Absolutely!

Never stop watching, listening and learning. All trades: tree work, construction, mechanics, etc. 👍

[@litewatefitr]

Seeing Garrett in his comfort zone was rad. Loved this footage. Thanks boys!

[@huckleberry5653]

Our family ranch had a hill that was almost all power pole trees. We would climb them to limb up. Besides fire wood some of the first bit of falling that I did was pole trees. Always a degree of forethought to it all. Thanks for taking us along.

[@crispbacon696]

Funny how your cutting them down, and I am planting them back in the ground. I am a lineman. I just picked another big shipment from your store friday. Love your stuff and videos, keep it up man

[@westcoastsaw1368]

Hell yea we need everyone to keep planting I just did 400 in my yard 👌

[@justinweaver8107]

Ol dozer looked sweet an those winches are a great addition to most dozers❤

[@Bixby-and-Buckshot]

Oh. That little tip to get the chain back on the rail. I wish I knew that. I ate up a bar trying to get it back on the rail before I just tore the whole thing apart.

[@markroper9269]

Just listen. People will give you knowledge......all you have to do is listen. Have a great week bud, love the video!

[@ThatOldStoner]

I love seeing the tops of the trees falling and I love seeing the tops move as the wedges go in.

[@krisguttu1673]

Nice work guys love the cannon light bar its so fancy

[@MsMohaman]

066 the best saw ever!!! Nice falling guys 🤘👍

[@gerardjohnson2106]

I set 8)100' poles for lighting a Kentucky high-school football/track field in the early 60s. Wind snapped one off in the 70s. Couldn't acquire a 100' replacement. Had to settle for a 95' out of Georgia. Serving the light fixtures on those poles was scary. The cross arms had to be realigned every year for the first three years due to the twist of the grain. Nowadays, all sports field poles are galvanized steel.😏

[@PurpleNovember]

I grew up in the PNW and would routinely climb those trees well over a hundred feet. I couldn’t imagine doing that now as an adult. I wouldn’t want to be working on those lights a hundred feet in the air! That must have been something to accomplish considering all the logistics involved.

[@jeb_jebson]

I'm trying out that bar trick next time my chain comes off the rail like that, this is why I watch all your videos, I always learn something! Thanks for all you do Gordy!

[@westcoastsaw1368]

Yea it’s just those little things that catch when filming that makes it a home run 👍

[@fern6114]

Major problem these days…listen to each other,cheers from Luxembourg 🇱🇺 take care

Hell ya Gordy, most people will give you the opportunity one time for the little tips and tricks they know, you've just gotta be humble enough to do as you said and let yourself hear them when offered. Safe cuttin pard

100%

Still waiting for that video on your fleet Gordy. Keep up the good work.

Cut lotsa poles 80 to 110 ft in the 90's for Simpson down in the shelton matlock area. Most were 24-30 on the butt.

[@joegreenwood1443]

Thank you.

[@karl-egertdaskov6217]

im so jealous of you because you can afford a 660 size saws and actually use them too i cut with a 5105 dolmar and 18 inch bar i can easily smash a 36 inch tree with it and i love that saw but its no 462 or 660i wish i could afford a saw like that and if we had trees where you needed a 32 or 36 inch bar dailyit would be awesome

[@tedneitzel]

Good stuff!

[@LiveFreeOrRIP]

I got to get me a 66... That thing is just a beast and with the WCS upgrades on it..... That saw hogs like a boss... It just chews like a wild animal. Ill find one one day. That Light Super bar is awesome too.....

[@LiveFreeOrRIP]

Not that im even a cutter... Bro you have forgotten more then 99% of the people in the world will know. You are the GORD... you have sap flowing in your veins.. A cutter you are!!!

How do you not get chips in your eyes?

[@isaac3175]

When you cut with donny again ask him about making poles right in town just up the hill in Puyallup right next to a whole bunch of houses and walking trail. We also made some cedar poles out on that nice 40 acre tube patch we did. Thanks guys be careful.

[@nateolmsted899]

Love it

[@WARLOK813]

Love your stuff Gordy. Just got a set of your felling dogs on my 461, a handle on the way and a depth plate. Just wondering if I can swing a 32" bar on my stock 461 or if i better stick to 28" im in all hardwood. Still learning and bars aint cheap

[@westcoastsaw1368]

You should be good with 32. No problem.

[@AaronTheViking250]

that's definitely a handy trick to know in them woods where its just you and the timber you're in, lmao. Nothing sucks more than messing up a bar by getting it pinched or throwing your chain and not knowing how to pop it back on without tools. So every tip you can learn in the woods or by pros given u listen and follow what they say because it will help you in the long run ten fold.

[@jeffschroeder9089]

See ya at tci buddy

Yea buddy

What gloves do you use? Are they warm in the winter, they look comfortable

[@OregonCrow]

Where?

[@PatKuntz]

They really want a telephone pile 100ft tall? I've never seen one taller than 40 or 50 ft. Anything taller than that is metal. At least in my state anyways. Is that just in my area? Has anyone else ever see a wooden 100ft power/telephone pole? 13:32

[@blaablaahi]

They are common here in Texas for older large transmission lines.

Typical utility poles measure 30 to 60 feet for poles in residential neighborhoods, and from 60 feet to over 120 feet along major highways.
