Ripping big logs isn’t that bad if that’s all you gotta do (other than buck, split and stack…ha ha) They were delivered in log form so a lot of work has already been done. Plus, free oak is hard to beat!
No sir. They always come over and mess around in the sawdust though. I’ve never figured out why they do that.
I didn't hear any objections coming from them.I even left the wood where I cut it. I will get it out of the woods tomorrow. BTW, this is the first opportunity I have had to use my new to me Stihl 362. It does like to eat and isn't too thirsty either.
Thats great. Always fun using a new (to you) saw. If a screaming deal came up for a 362c id be all over it. I have a 361 already which is the precursor to the 362.
After doing enough cutting to clear the path I did a little splitting and noodling so I could get the wood back to my processing area. I had cleaned up a lot of the brush earlier this summer. I got 4 trailer loads hauled out, stacked and ready to be split. I still have the majority of the trunk to cut up. Then I can start on the other large oak next to it. I measured from the little branch, about 6 inch diameter, to where I stopped cutting on the trunk and came up with 28 feet. Two branches embedded themselves in the ground when the tree fell. I tried digging one out and still can't get it to break free. 1st pic shows the remainder of the trunk to be bucked. The rack is 10 feet long. I have lots of room on the pallets for the rest of the trees.
