Re: Some hauling with the new crew. I'll check out the loaders... and I do need to make up some trolleys (I think we call them dollies?)
As for the kickback.... I've gotta disagree with everyone.
While cutting the stuff down by the root ball that was still partially buried and difficult to get to I ended up getting repeated kickbacks.
Was cutting down the kerf and cleaning it with a 25" bar trying to go through almost 50 some odd inches of wood, it would occasionally catch and kick really hard.
I dont think that just because you have a kickback means that it's gonna come back and hit you, maybe with a bigger saw but not the 361.
I'm sure if I had a limp wrist it'd have come all the way back and smacked me, but if you're alert and holding it firmly then the kickback is very manageable. Ya sure feel it though. I think my mom would probably have alot of trouble with it but it doesn't bother me.
The chain brake works great, however, it actually jammed the whole thing up once and the chain wouldn't budge with the brake on or off. Had to wiggle the chain with the side plate removed and the brake off, then apply some pressure with a screwdriver and it finally popped free.
Any ideas on that?
