Since neither one of my two closest Stihl dealers could manage to outfit me with a matched set of oversized felling dogs for the 362, I ended up...
Here's a picture of my first attempts at making the Holz Hausen formations. The stack on the left is all Black Locust and the one to the right of...
I think the competition was more of a popularity contest then anything. I voted for Red Oak and Black Locust because that's what we have the most...
I guess these dealers set up these saws differently depending on what sells locally, or something. Like in my area, the biggest Stihl dealer, puts...
I have been experimenting with different saws and bar lengths, and chain types, etc., lately. And I have about decided that it all works, it's...
I agree, it's much more then drying time. Hard times could come in lots of different forms. Having 3 to 5 years of firewood would allow you to...
No experience with the Husky's but I like my 261 CM and I am pretty sure it's about the lightest in it's power class. No problems so far. However,...
Nothing wrong with using your skills and resources to help others.
IMHO, a 25" would be a good bar length for a 462. I think if I was going to run just a 20" bar, I would put it on a smaller saw, like the 362 or...
On traditional stacks, I have been stacking with one side against my pipe fence, and then I take a wire and tie it to the fence and run it down...
I made my first two of these stacks this year. One is all Black Locust and the other is various Oaks and maybe some Cherry. So, we will see how it...
Ok, well that's kind of what I thought too, so maybe that's why I usually got along just fine.
Don't take my advice too seriously, because it's probably a little biased. But I like longer bars, myself. I went with a 20" bar on my 261 and...
In Arkansas, we probably burn more oak then anything because we have a lot of it. I know I have probably burnt more red oak then anything else...
I guess it depends on the species of tree and how many limbs it has on it, but I don't have to cut that much on the ground, as I try to cut...
I try to keep mine somewhat separated and will burn my trashy low quality wood in the daytime and load up at night right before bed with the good...
Merry Christmas, everyone
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to all
I don't have a plan. Just go load up saws, fuel and bar oil, an ax or two, splitting maul, tool bag into the side by side. It doesn't matter...
