    What a nice day on the shoreline in CT. The wife and I took my little scooter out for a ride, and only a quarter mile down the road from our house I spotted some red oak that was dropped on some state land next to the road. We get back after our ride and I start gassing up the Triple C. (Cheap Chinese Chainsaw)
    "Where are you going?" she asks. But she already knows.
    Headed back to the spot and started bucking up as much red oak as my little truck can handle. Moved over to a couple more logs on the side and the saw just whizzed right through. "Man, she's cutting good!" I say. I go to lift them in to the bed and nearly launch them into orbit. That's Sassafras for ya! Smelled real nice!

    As an added bonus I get back to the house and the full wrap handle for the Triple C has arrived. As Ice Cube once said... damm right it was a good day.

    So what is that a Husqvarna Chinese knock off.

    Good looking rounds should make for some good firewood no matter how much you got.

    Yep. I got the Holzfforma / Farmertc 372 kit over the fall and built it over the course of a couple weeks. Not a bad way to spend your time if you like fiddling with engines and such, and in the end you get a decent saw to use. Heck of a lot cheaper than buying a new Husky 372, and the parts are interchangable.
