    It can be rather slippery when the bark comes off. My recent BL and dead ash scores i can attest to that.

    Went back today and scored 11 more rounds on my first trip.......and then a whole bunch of slightly smaller diameter rounds. It's so nice to be able to buck everything perfectly to 16"!

    Here's a **short video** of the Stihl 028 WB AV in action!!!

    First load of the day:

    Thank you! It was a productive day for sure....and now I'm feeling a little sore. Hard to tell from the video but I was on a nice little slope so for the big boys I just made my first cuts along the log and then rolled it over for the second cuts. On that particular log I used the cant hook and log stand which work out well. That was a smaller diameter log that I was able to lift up.

    This round weighed in at 147.5lb 19" diameter 16" height. No match for a tire and an x27 though!! Some of these pieces have some twisted grain but not this piece.
