Chain was shot on the 60" but is ed the same chain as the 30". I don't know if the clutch on the 1050 would run it though. The 1150 was direct drive I do believe.

Either way, that blade seems a bit out of place for your neck of the woods! There are a handful of modern Stihls running around here with bars close to that size. I will admit the largest sawmill I ever saw in person was a double blade set-up at Mt. Pleasant Iowa(threshers reunion). Darn thing was actually setup portable! We just never saw any trees near that big, but the corn was really tall.
I was talking to a chainsaw collector on the West Coast once and he informed me that all the trees back east were "twigs".
