And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
bought one of the heavy duty short bar models, MS461, $1275 bucks, wanted the last chainsaw i ever needed, its a beast, with a real sharp blade i have to put everything into stopping it while cutting into a tree butt wider than the bar is long. A screamer, cuting wise, its got a really deep exhaust note, more s murururu than wingy dingy dingy
I tried to find a picture of how the Pros haul their saws but a picture was not to be found. I guess that's because most faller's build their own saw racks or have friends that build them for them. It's a rack that sits on the top of the bed behind the cab on which usually four saws sit cross ways, two facing each direction. The saws are easily reached from the sides of the pickup and a lockable bar slides through the handles of the saws for security. This type of rack leaves the bed underneath free for other stuff a guy wants to carry, including something that might be bed length. They're easy to build with a little angle iron and plywood, and making a short one that would accommodate only two saws wouldn't be a problem at all. I'm really surprised someone isn't making them commercially.
not a bad idea, nothing harder to load into the truck than those chainsaws

When I carry my Stihl it goes in it's case, then in the truck bed. I lash it with a bungee through the handle to keep from sliding around.
