    Round two....the limbs. Me and my boy cut and split the limbs this morning. We quit after running a full tank of fuel through the splitter. Here's what we ended up with today.....still maybe a half trailer load left to cut and split.

    I wonder why? I cut that big main up with it.....thinking I would save some for the Solo. Didn't happen. I couldn't put it down. Whoever did the port work on it sho did a good job! :thumbs:

    I did run a tank of fuel through the Solo noodling those big dogs down into more manageable sizes and I must say.....I'm anxious to run it again. All of the initial reports on it were solid. It's a torque machine.

    I think that one is the best xpw I've done so far. It is stronger than the one that I owned for a while. The Solo is strong for a stock saw.

    No...Unfortunately..but i ran the 362...and loved every minute of it. Here's what's left of the limbs.....and why I chose the 362CM with 20".

    Love to cut ash that big. The wood piles up faster with these kind of logs.
