    I have a friend who is taking some trees down on a lot he plans to build a house on. He is keeping all millable logs 9 foot in length. There is a lot of firewood in the tops, just a bit of a jumbled mess getting it out. XS 261C-M was the perfect tool for job.

    Perfect size if you ask me, especially if your hauling them out a ways by hand. :)

    I would be going back to that honey hole...:yes:

    I definitely plan on going back. I'd like to make back, when he is there so I have a better idea what he plans to keep. Some of its obvious some of its not.

    Not sure on the yield just yet. I do know he plans on taking down 5 to 10 more trees. There's a lot of room there, and you could have made a makeshift landing area for the logs he plans to keep oh, that would have made things a lot easier. But it is what it is so I'll just keep on wading through with the XS 261C-M grabbing what I can

    On Wednesdays the letter M likes to get a little risqué.

    A little tangled but on the bright side you don't have to walk far ;)
    Nice score, nice wood.

    :eek:
    Well it could have been a ported saw and he/she/Ze puts an X sticker over the M for a subtle indicator.
    Never hurts to ask.
