I like coming back and rewatching a lot of videos from my favorite tree channels, August Hunicke, Guilty of Treeson and Westcoast Saw. The main thing I take away from all 3 is, the comradery. Ole Dan just gets in there and bangs wedges and at least on video, doesn't complain and just keeps going. Gaining all sorts of knowledge and doing what it takes. I dig it.
What Mike said about crossing the trees to keep in lay with the bend in your strip was a good little touch in there… not many people will comprehend that but I get what your doing. Good work Gordy.
Great video, perfect for a Friday night watch. Also really liked the 661 tune up you did with Jacob, you guys work well together, hope to see more like that, thanks! 🙂
I still have a sachs dolmar 112 my dad bought in the 80's. Use it weekly on the sawmill to trim up logs. It screams. Not a light saw but a good saw for what it is.
Another great video. I love watching you guys getting out there and cut. I’ve been operating heavy equipment doing site development and underground utilities for just shy of 20 years. I’m just to damn old and broken at this point to take on a new trade but I sure like going out out on a weekend and helping some buddies do tree work. I’m down here in the graham area. Anyways, Mr west coast, I can’t be the only one that would love to see a video doing a walk around of all your beautiful trucks. You’re teasing us gear heads every time you pan right on past one of those bad boys like it’s not even there. There definitely something to proud of, give us a little closer look… build specs, engines, axles… I’ll talk all you give me. Thanks Gordy. Here’s to you and your continued success. -Ryan in Graham WA.
My Pops used to have an old bleach bottle and Prestone jug for gas and bar oil 👌👌 Only thing was it wasn't bar oil he used, it was used motor oil in his Ol' O38. miss that guy every damn day no regrets
You are the man, , watching you fall trees, and your little buddy Jake climb trees have inspired me to quit my job and get into the tree cutting industry, keep making the videos boss
Wow that’s Awsome to hear There is nothing better than driving home after a good day of tree work and you feel beat and you can’t wait to get back the next day it’s great 😆 Good luck with your new Adventure 👍👍
I enjoy your videos. Thank you for putting them out. We don't get to see much big wood here in Maine anymore. Just want to say I'm running your bark box on a stihl 400. Absolutely love it. Dogs and air filter are great also. Keep up the good work.
I like the new intro! Looked like a fun day of cutting with a great group of guys. The Makita is running great. That filter took a beating. Nice thing about foam filters, rinse lather repeat.
I always appreciate your videos and look forward to them very much! I really like the technique demonstrated for top compression! I know there is regional jargon. I thought that on the West Coast they refer to that as "reaming the cut". Here on the East Coast we call it the "see saw".👍
Makes me want to go tip over trees with my 7900. I have the older pre-cat era, was a decent saw stock but really came awake when I ported it. Added a port to the muffler before I even ran it, so I guess I don't know how it ran bone stock.
Really love that saw! I had a 7310 that I loved but it got stolen out the back of my truck. Can't find anything new that I like half as much as that Dolmar.
Awesome video. Real men doing real work. Got your clutch cover, bark box and 3pt dogs for my 462cm. Love everything. 3pt dogs are a game changer. Great products. Glad to see they are made in the USA.
I live on the east coast and have a full wrap bar on it with Gordy's clutch cover, bark box and 3pt dogs. I might get the WCS air filter but hardwood we get a lot more fine dust. I will definitely order a couple of his chain pouches. Really like all the products on the website and can't wait for the axe handles to become available. The bark box Really helped my saw.
@mikebeaver2998 I'm on the eastcoast to with a full wrap & I did the wcs filter it catches fine dust better than the oem, I would go for it. Oh & I'm waiting for the axe handle to. We must be related lol
Hell ya this is what I am talking about didn’t know if I was going to be able to go much longer with out a Gordy video!!!! Keep them coming Gordy!!!!!!
Nice video Gordy! I had to laugh when you were cutting the uprooted blow downs; the other day I had an uprooted black cherry that I thought would be neat to get a video of flopping back down when I cut the tree off. I set the camera up made the cut and there it set! I could probably cut 20 without a camera on them and they would flop one way or the other but not the one I wanted footage of:) I am glad you are sharing your time in the woods.
Funny thing is I did the same bucking on a fire clean up job and my employer said it was unsafe to widen the kerf bucking,he was always hung ulnd wedgin himself free. I sure do miss falling valley fir so much easier then pondos in eastern oregon. I am pretty much outta the game but still ove to knock down timber when I can.
Yup. Good stuff. Keep'em coming. Loved you and Jacob on the 661 vid and commented you should call him Kryptonite for making you weak and feeble 🤣 Of course, that would make you Superman 😎 Peace from Mark in Scotland
Cool. The best part of this saw video is little talking. Woo. Some of those other saw videos, they just don't stop talking about themselves. Good video. Keep up the good work. Thanks
Thank you glad you like it We don’t get to talk much out there because we are trying to be as productive as we can and sneak in a video or 2 along the way luckily the logger we work for is Awsome and let’s us video
"""""""Love It,!!!! Kick Tail Video!!! A Tree Huggers Worst Nightmare!!!! 😁😁😁🤗🤗🙂😉😉👍👍. Like Your Fellow Tree Fellers!!! They Are Real Cool !!! Seem To Be Hardcore Tree Fellers!!! That's The Best Way To Learn, """From Experts!!! Love That West Coast Saw Shop!!! I Like That Work Bench!!! 🙂😁🤗🤗🤗👍👍. Saw Did Real Well!!! Another Good One Gordy!!!
Love the content Gordy, I just picked up your leather 6 point liner for my McDonald hard hat. I’ll be posting a how to video for putting it on the hard hat tomorrow. It’s a really quality liner, but then again, you already know that.
@@angelolerma7022 yep! My 7900 has a Farmertec 440 muffler. They do not have the inner baffle it’s wide open on the inside. So much better than the newer makita mufflers with the baffles. The bolt pattern for the head is the same.
Saw is ripping through it that's for sure! I run a 143 Dolmar and it sounds just like yours, really is sad they (company) won't be making them anymore.
Gordy, the old Makita 7900 is my favorite bigger saw to use. I'm in my sixties & only cut on occasion now but think it has the best power-to-weight & ergos. Can you build a bark box muffler for it?
Hey man, I loved the video thanks for posting!!! Quick honest question since I've never done this kinda work, do you guys have to worry about tics, and chiggers, and other bugs, and is that a problem out there in this line of work especially if you're in the woods!?
i have grandaddy of diminutive size to that Dolmar ; 1986 110 . somewhere 100 needing fuel tank . nice little saws , but barely cut one of your limbs there 🤣😂😅
I would be great if you guys came up with dogs for the Mikita/Dolmar EA6100.... All the Dolmar guys can't find duel dogs for that saw and would buy them up. Hell I'd get 2 sets myself. Keep up the great work.
Really wet ground and the roots were shallow and there is a field next door I think the wind just got too much for them to handle they are lucky it didn’t get their house
I enjoy y'alls videos just curious what kind of oil yall use that makes your gas -oil mix look blue and iv noticed some of your bar oil looks red and some looks purple
I have a 261c Stihl that came with an 18" 0.063/.325 bar and chain, and last fall I upgraded to the 20 0.063/3/8" bar and chain. what accessory upgrades would you recommend for my 261c? I'm also curious as to what bar and chain oil you use in your chain saws. I've been using the Stihl brand for the bar oil and premix. Do have any recommendations on bar oil that will make it easier on my chainsaw?
Dam, Gordy wicked new intro. You're getting all fancy on us -- next thing you'll do is become an arborist... 🤣🤣 Just kidding! Great work and keep the content coming.
Looks like he’s working with the same editor that Jacob (GuiltyOfTreeson) has been using. I’m very much down with this. All the good content, minimal padding.
Since you are no longer tuning/building saws... Who would you recommend to do a "basic" tune? Preferably near Spokane, since thats where I live. Though if there's nobody...I'm willing to ship the power head.
Awesome video Gordy! I really like that shell casing on the choke lever. Are those bumper strips for the dog bolt in Jacob's video available for all of Stihl's pro saws or just the 661 do you know?
I believe they make them for a few different pro saws I wish I had the part numbers I would give them to you but might have to do some checking around I know I use to put them on the 660’s too
@@westcoastsaw1368 I've got a 362 and a 261 and was wondering if they may fit on those or if they make ones for them. I appreciate all the knowledge you have divulged thus far. Keep up the fantastic content and products Gordy! I have quite a few on both of those saws.

Would love to see a vid about your different square grinders and the pros and cons of each.
So stoked I found your channel brother! Seems like you guys have a lot of fun at work!
6:27 beautiful work Dan
Awesome Video Gordy!! I love watching your videos!👍🏻👍🏻
Can’t wait to see parts for the Dolmar’s!! Would love to have some dawgs
Music to fall asleep to
Looks like a fun day!
That Dolmar sounds lean Gord.
Chips be flying👌😎
That dolmar is actually a nice saw!! Would love to see a video of your old trucks. They're all beauties.
Really love that saw! I had a 7310 that I loved but it got stolen out the back of my truck. Can't find anything new that I like half as much as that Dolmar.
The Dol-kita definitely ain't lazy! Hope to see another day of shade reduction Gordy, safe cuttin pard

such a good video Gordy! love the new intro love the tree falling videos.
That dolmar is a nice machine
Good Stuff! Thank you
Dang, wish my 7900 ran like that! 👍🏼
Man, that saw screams. This makes my stock 390xp look like a poulan pro from Fleet Farm.
Side note: I wish we had a US chainsaw manufacturer.
great video Gordy! love the videos you have been putting out.
Good times!!!
Hell ya this is what I am talking about didn’t know if I was going to be able to go much longer with out a Gordy video!!!! Keep them coming Gordy!!!!!!
😂
Sweet video!I have a 7900 that Nick ported also! The thing is a beastie!
I sher love mine
Boy, that 7900 is rippin- I have the same saw in the green, very dependable-
This video taught me ream bucking. Thanks

I’m jealous of you guys out there. You get to fall those big tall firs.
So happy when I saw you started up your own channel brother! Missed seeing you guys on TreeSons show. I’m subscribed!
Thank you
nice to see something other than stihl and husky
Great video Gordy. Thanks for bringing us along. Also dig that Chevy in the shop on TSL's. New Project?
Had her a long time
Make a clutch cover for the 7900!!!
Like the intro Gordy
Excellent. Video
Cool video, that Makita rips. Didn't even know they made saws.

Could you tell us about your fuel and oil you use? Maybe mix ratios and general operating tips for prolonging a saw? Thanks for the vids and products!
Makita’s are made by Dolmar, and I heard that Dolmar had the very first patent for a chainsaw. That have been doing it for a long time.

Nice work
A 440 muffler fits those saws you should totally put a bark box on it 🤘🏻 great video I like the custom choke lever
Have you tried putting a 440 muffler on it? I think I’m going to do that to mine if that’s the case. Thing would be badass

That's a good tip about pinching. or you curse for an hour and get another saw like an idiot like I do.
Oh we get pinched all the time too 👍
César 🌬️❄️🥶🌨️
Id love to see some of these west coast guys come to missouri to cut some oak, hickory, sycamore, walnut, etc. It would be interesting..
That would be fun It’s nice to go other places and learn new things for sher 👍
I’ve saw them come out to Ky they just as good on our side. Something in their blood
I'd like to go play out west
We got some trees in Michigan too
They were born to kill trees🪓🪓🪓🌲
Awesome
Video.
no wedge required 1:08 just pushes them over.root balls are no joke never know for sure if they are going to sit stand up or roll over.
Great job not giving up an inch of that wood.
Thank you We are always trying get down as low as possible 👍
True bad ass.
Saw is ripping through it that's for sure! I run a 143 Dolmar and it sounds just like yours, really is sad they (company) won't be making them anymore.
You are going to have to do a video on the trucks
You should make a run of those front plates exhaust ports for the website. It’s pretty sick.
Heck of a video Gordy

Makita announced in March 2022 they will no longer be making gas power yard tools so better buy them when you see them
