    It's fast. Over. 4 years old and thank god no problems. Next one will be vertical for the big rounds. The only bad thing about it , but that's what chainsaws are for

    Funny what passes for relaxation to a wood guy isn't it? Same here. cleaned up the saw and sharpened the chain, did some top covering, burned in the chiminea and did some cleanup around the stacks. Yup relaxing Sunday.

    It sure is. Certain things that make our mind nice and clear and at peace for a few hours. Always good to do a little cleaning as well...

    Just a little :) this was a friend of a friends house, he doesn't do anything around his house, he pays people to cut the grass he told me that from the 9 monster trees he took down he only wants 2 cords and the rest is for me , I have no problem with that, only 5 or 6 miles from me I jumped all over that

    Looks like you got a plastic 2-wheeled wheel barrow. If so, it was a mistake as it will crack and break, especially hauling firewood. Mine was busted in no time. When it breaks, call the manufacturer and order the steel replacement. You will have to pay for it but that beats $100 down the drain. I think I paid a little over $100 for mine at Lowe.

    The wheel barrel belongs to the home owner that I was splitting the wood for. I have a little dump trailer at home I hitch to the JD tractor, I wouldn't waste my money on that lol...

    Oh yeah, he has no choice but to stack his own stuff, I was nice enough to split it for him the tree company wanted $2,000 to haul it away and then they would of sold it to someone else for firewood
