Finally got this white oak top finished. Only 49 tops to go. My brother is only available Saturdays with the tractor so slow going. This the pile from one white oak top.

Ha ha. I didn't even notice that. I looked at the box from my first one in 2019 and it's the same pic.

It happened again yesterday.;)

50 oaks came down in dads woods. Logs are sold and I get to cut up 50 tops. Burnt through a gallon of fuel on the first white oak top with the 261 and 400.

Nice buck @rattler.:thumbup:

Short rope.:risas3:

Probably a good 200 before I took out his inards. Full of corn.

10 yards with the .270 this morning. 12/4.

Waiting on pitchers guys.

I have a stihl dealer 3 minutes from the house. I won't deal with him because he is a pompous ass. The place I deal with 40 miles away is top notch. Discounts on saws, no shipping on parts and a saw salvage room that I can go and look through for older obsolete parts if I need something Edit...

Not sure of the year for sure but got it new in the early 70's. It's put a lot of brown down. Stihl prefer it over my .270 Remington.

Decided to cut wood yesterday after not see any deer when sneaking around in the cornfield in the morning. Threw the 400 and 30/30 on the tractor and went to cut up an ash tree that had blown over last week down in the woods. Saw a deer jump up and saw it had horns but never saw it run out. Left...

Got a call. Want some wood? Duh. My son will be bringing it over in his trailer. Ok. It was a Bradford pear tree that a utility pole fell on. Never had wood delivered in a trailer pulled by a PRIUS!:jaja-no:It wasn't much but it was free.

Not a whole lot compared to round which is what I use most of the time. 3 round stihl chains run me about $60 and if I bought 3 hexa it would be about $80 ish. I filed the hexa but haven't cut with it since so I'm curious to see how it cuts now compared to right out of the box.

Tried the hexa chain on the 462 last week on a dry, hard ash. Lotsa noodling.
