My 2 year old son watches all your vids too, loves them. The smile on his face every time a saw fires up is priceless. He's watching close and learning believe it or not... you should see the way he handles his toy saws when playing in the woods.
I’ve only recently found your channel but I can’t stop coming back, your saw work is incredible. From the modifications to the delivery of your practical falling skills. It’s just golden, your some kind of industrial artist. Look forward to the next adventures! Safe cutting
I am an excellent judge of character, and Landon sounds like a fine young man and I am quite certain that due to his obvious intellect, based on his primary choice of video entertainment, I can without question say that Landon is a Dolmar enthusiast with a very bright future! I need to get in on the ground floor and get him on my team...
Thanks Eddie! That saw has ~ 2.5 million under it's belt currently. It's an early serial number as well. It seems to move along as well. Long in the tooth, that guy in the video and the saw have one thing in common then...... Thanks for watching.
I've watched this many times and ive have a question. . . ? I remember reading this saw a has cut many many trees, how do you keep the paint on the bottom of the saw? I mean, my saws ride inside the truck on thick foam pads with towels under them. I have a rubber pad for when they are in the back of the truck being worked on never drop them always watch where I place them in the woods and I still lose paint off the bottom? And your 064 looks new on the bottom?
Master Landon is many years wise but not many years old. Question, did you put your axe in your back cut to be another indicator to yourself when the tree starts to go??
1HS, I use the handle of the axe as an indicator to what movement, either forward or aft, the tree is/might be doing. The wind was coming and going as it was late afternoon. I did not want to get caught with my pants down...... Thanks for watching.
Robert hi. Screw type - no comparison. You have to "rinse" the area around the filler hole with gas and blow it off or yes, a bunch of saw dust gets in the tanks. You also have to dump out your tanks, about 5 times more often, to get what you missed rinsing off the area before opening up the caps. Way more spilled gas going on with the "new and improved" version. Whomever redesigned the old caps must not have gone out and actually sawed with a prototype version before the new style went into production.......... Or, whomever was reporting back to base used the wrong encrypted code...... Thanks for watching.
My thoughts also. I dont understand what possessed them to do that.. you dont always have a compresser with you to blow out feom.aroind the cap.. (or i dont) and the amount of dust that plows up around the cap is insaine.. just wondered your opinion. Seeing this is your living. Thanks for the responce
Hi Jack, I've seen you using Dolmar PS7900, Stihl 064 and Husqvarna 372XPW saws. I did see a video where you compare and contrast the insides, but have you done a video where you talk about what you like and don't like about these three saws? Handle angle, power to weight, bar / chain selection, durability, etc? What makes you take one over the other for any given reason?
Darren hi. Because I like the way it runs and cuts. It smokes on the 70/80 cc saws and weighs in less than the 288/660 saws. And it's long in the tooth just like me. Thanks for watching
Daryl hi. Not much need for it with the shorty bars we're running these days. Sometimes in the spring when the bark would swell, if the wood was bigger then occasionally. "They" had a redesign on the 52AJ. The new and improved was (new) but it wasn't even close to (improved). .404 is heavy chain and cuts a wider curf. .375 (3/8s) cuts a more narrow curf and weighs less. So it can be made to cut faster and has less parasitic drag (in both the cut and rails) which equals less hp loss, imho anyway. Thanks for watching.
Don hi. 60's vintage B.F. McDonald 6 point skid lid, thin knit cotton gloves, and calked boots - with new laces. That's about as safety as I get, maybe chaps in the winter rain and snow. If you cannot move "outta da way" fast enough then you also cannot get "outta da way". I do not advocate being reckless by any means. I do say that you had better done a really good survey of the circumstance and then have an understanding on what can go wrong with the corresponding escape plan, properly in place. Incidentally, it is imho that if a guy was to worried about safety, he would have chosen another profession. This one is, and usually 3 out of any 4 years, has the number one death rate per capita in America. With that being said, God will call your number wherever you are and whenever He wants. No amount of safety gear is going to change that aspect. Thanks for watching.
+hotsaws101 I agree 1000% You have a number placed on you when your born and when your time comes your time comes no questions asked, some are many times worse than others, with that being said I'm not a Safety Geek but I do try to be as safety cautious as I can be, don't want to be so mangled up that I can't even get out of the house. That's just me. BTW I love your channel I have gotten quite a few awesome tips from it.
Let us see,,,, the whole premise of filming this operation was for 2 1/2 year old young man that would rather watch falling videos than cartoons. I mentioned his name so he would hear it and know. This is his video. We're in a big hurry because?
Safety first when falling timber that size, they remove the healthy-big trees to let the younger timber grow. It's called forest management, act like an adult.

I also prefer watching trees getting cut down! Always fun to watch your videos
Hard not to love an 064. Such a great saw.
Awesome videos as always,27 year lineman here,much rather been logger! Thanks for taking time with our little ones 👍
all of your chainsaw tricks are awesome please keep um rollin :)
I’ve only recently found your channel but I can’t stop coming back, your saw work is incredible. From the modifications to the delivery of your practical falling skills. It’s just golden, your some kind of industrial artist.

Safe cutting
If your 2 or 92 it doesn't get old

Nice, Master London, Hotsaw did a great job just for you buddy....
Great video. Good to see your using my all-time favorite saw, the 064. Awesome
Nice video quality, great job. Thank you.
Awesome job jack. That saw sounds really good too
Nice cut for the kid (in all of us) Jack!
Master Landon has good taste in what to watch! That is a really clean 064! Don't see many that nice these days, most are getting long in the tooth.
Thanks Eddie! That saw has ~ 2.5 million under it's belt currently. It's an early serial number as well. It seems to move along as well. Long in the tooth, that guy in the video and the saw have one thing in common then......
Thanks for watching.
No replacement for experience!
I see what you did Jack , makes sense to me !
I've watched this many times and ive have a question. . . ? I remember reading this saw a has cut many many trees, how do you keep the paint on the bottom of the saw? I mean, my saws ride inside the truck on thick foam pads with towels under them.

And your 064 looks new on the bottom?
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Nice work.... still prefer when you're using the dolmar 79er. Sounds so much better👌
New one to me...Nice!
I agree
nice trick Jack thanks

Jack. What do you prefer. The flip up turn caps or the screw caps.. personaly i like the screw ones the flip top ones get too much dirt around them
Robert hi.

I use the brush from an ice scraper to clean around the capsas much as possible before I remove them.
cool trick!
Hi Jack,
I've seen you using Dolmar PS7900, Stihl 064 and Husqvarna 372XPW saws.

great show!!
Nice video Sir. I choose not to watch garbage television brings into our homes.
As ever, an awesome vid and informative questions and Jacks explanations in the comments section. Thanks!
How come your using a 064 now Jack? Loved mine before I sold it. Keep falling with it!!
Darren hi. Because I like the way it runs and cuts. It smokes on the 70/80 cc saws and weighs in less than the 288/660 saws. And it's long in the tooth just like me.
Thanks for watching
it would have been really awesome had anyone been able to see it
Safety first.
Nice job
a redwood stove pipe
Jack do use or ever use a .404 chain?
Daryl hi. Not much need for it with the shorty bars we're running these days. Sometimes in the spring when the bark would swell, if the wood was bigger then occasionally. "They" had a redesign on the 52AJ. The new and improved was (new) but it wasn't even close to (improved). .404 is heavy chain and cuts a wider curf. .375 (3/8s) cuts a more narrow curf and weighs less.

Thanks for watching.
Why do you call it a toad?
Canaan hi. Because of it's size, albeit the small toad that it is.
Thanks for watching.
good for you Landon, watch somethin worth while versus the garbage they call cartoons these days.
are you wear safety equipment
Don hi. 60's vintage B.F. McDonald 6 point skid lid, thin knit cotton gloves, and calked boots - with new laces. That's about as safety as I get, maybe chaps in the winter rain and snow.

Jack...what brand of caulk boots do you wear?
John hi. The summer version seen here are the ProngHorn from Danner, from Hoffman boot co. (added the caulks).
Thanks for watching.
Thanks Jack for your kind reply.
Been quicker to use the axe

🌲 A shame if it’s a healthy tree. 🌲
It’s a Biggie..... what species ?
All that & you missed it falling, what a jerk.
Jacks not a jerk Gear.
