    Bark is slightly different then other silver maple I’ve collected but the tree service that dropped it said it was. Around here seems like every other yard tree is a silver. This one was also a bit heavier as well.

    Currently I’m on the single crappy saw plan. I’m running a 455 rancher, which I know might be the least favorite saw on FHC. I’ll be upgrading at some point but for now I’m working on upgrading the splitter.

    Welcome :handshake:
    I ran a little Home Depot bought Echo CS-370 for my first 9 years :emb: I think you’re doing just fine with that Rancher and workhorse of an old Chevy.

    Nice. Every year, I say I'm 'upgrading' my splitter. :) (I'm still hand splitting... 5 stinking cords a year)

    Did you noodle those with the Rancher! Hope you had equipment to load them with. Lol

    No shame in a 455 Rancher. Obviously it works based on your picture. Those saws have cut 10s of thousands of cords of wood. FWIW, I would rather cut with a 455 and a sharp chain, than a ported 562 with a dull chain.

    The same species of tree can look different in different areas/regions. I do see thousands of helicopter seeds on the ground, indicating some sort of maple; maybe red maple...

    I think I made a pickup load just of noodles off that tree. I just stand the blocks on end, dolly them to the truck, and they are tall enough just to tip and then roll in the bed. Not fun but the truck doesn’t sit very high.

    That picture is after I got it all home. Those helicopter seeds are off of my trees.

    Good deal. Like most of us, probably strain more than we to!

    That'll work. You're a better man than I cutting a load like that in warm temps.
