I wouldn't mind building a 372 husky to dedicate to a 28, or maybe even a 32" bar.
Currently run a 28 on my ms462. I like the reach. I'd cut it back to a 20" if I had another saw in its class. With a 20" and an 8 pin it rips smaller wood. I do enjoy my 462. It's l8ke a modern 044/440. I should probably try to pick up a standard carb model so it will last as long as the old 044's.
Queue the safety freaks. I had to stump that one as high as the loader could get me to keep it inside the fence that is out of the pic to the right.
One of my worst fears happened to me while I was up there. The tree had long been dead and the bark was turning loose on it, so before I put the face in, I was knocking the bark off of it. It was FULL of roaches. Big ones! When I knocked the bark off the flew everywhere!
I almost unloaded the tractor. I was seriously debating throwing the saw one way, and myself the other way. I really had to dig deep to keep my shit together, lol.
