    Picture is kinda crappy but trailer is 5 by 10 loaded 3 feet high, only had to drive it 200 feet to the processing area

    I had no gas to mix anymore, so, I just kept going and get another Saw in till they all ran out of gas, got the trailer filled up though.

    Nice work. Did you get the wood from your property? How many saws did you have handy

    That's the 20 inch ash tree that was by the house dropped into the woods.
    Had 3 Saws with gas in em, but dang I forgot I think there was gas in that little craftsman out there too.
    No matter I was tired anyway

    Probably two-thirds of a cord in the trailer, then I got more limbs to drag out of there.

    I wanted to get something done today because of the rain coming in

    What sucks about the 2 cycle can is that you can't fill it until it's empty...unless you have 2 of them.

    I had a little gas left in the six gallon can but not a gallon.

    Trunk was all cut up so, The little echo did most of the work today, king of the limb pile :saw: :D

    A friend took down an apple tree and cut it up, all I had to do was get it. And not far either, the best kind. He has more Apple coming. Apple is a rare treat! DSCN0910.JPG DSCN0911.JPG

    The saws will love it, next time they run it'll be on fresh gas :)

    The Echo seems to be your "go to" saw,
    What makes it your saw of choice, (you list 6 in your signature).

    Good day's work :yes:
    A fully loaded trailer represents a lot of hard work ! !

    Down to one tank full here.
    Gonna start splitting & have a saw handy to knock off any bumps nubs & limbs I missed
    Should have enough to a few cords split.

    Actually I use the 445 the most, since I got the 55 I don't use the 61 much
    I talk up the echo cuz it surprises me how well it does for limbing and small stuff and the best thing about it is the 7 lb weight
