Split more wood today. Also did some trim work in a bathroom, drilled and hung an interior door, repaired holes in a fiberglass bathtub and picked up some items at the grocery store. (Got Groundie a couple donuts for her birthday, we're really doing it up big this year.)
I don't use any kind of lift for logs. I noodle them onsite to a size I can load in a truck or trailer and spit them down from there. Just today I was splitting up some noodled sections from a big oak I've been nibbling up. I used to split most of my wood by hand but now the majority of it is...
Fired up the wood splitter today and split about half a cord of wood. Trying to clean my woodyard up a bit. Also mowed some grass and sorted though a bunch of tools and equipment before loading it back into a vehicle.
Silver maples can be very troublesome with surface roots. I recently purchased a walk behind stump grinder specifically to deal with those roots. I had a front yard full of them and took out probably 100' of them. Some by cutting them on both ends with the grinder I was able to pull out. Others...
I don't ride bikes anymore but I did kill a deer with one back in the 1980's. Wrecked the bike pretty bad but I fixed it. I came out without much harm (full leathers) but my passenger still has road rash scars to this day.
A guy brought me 2 MS460's that had been run over by a skidsteer. Both low hour saws and run over at different times but had almost identical significant damage. Eventually fixed both of them with mostly Asian plastics.
Are you still looking for 1130 series saws? If so, I have a pile of them I may part with. Been thinning down my inventory. Much of these are disassembled and cleaned components ready to build into runners but I don't have the time or energy to work on saws these days. I also have a bunch of 1123...
While it may vary with some of the nuts in this group, the average person that owns a chainsaw will never wear out the bar. So I'm not sure there would be a viable market for a titanium bar.
Tomorrow I will be doing some tornado damage cleanup with Samaritan's Purse and will likely only use an MS460 and MS660 as they've already cut up the smaller stuff on the site I'm heading to.
I always use the smallest saw that will efficiently do the job. So if I were to cut up a large oak, I would likely fell it with a large saw and then start cutting the tops with an MS180 or 026, Then I would move up to an 039 with a 20" bar and then go to an 046/MS460 and then go to an MS660 if...
There's multiple reasons why a saw could cut a curve but in my experience it's always the chain. Simple test is to install a new chain and see if the problem goes away...
Did a tree job this morning and this afternoon stacked firewood into our wood shelter. Grilled some pork steaks for dinner and now vegging with Groundi and visiting daughter.
Moved and stacked firewood, pushed over a tree that was leaning towards our house. Pushed it down and around the bend so it can't be seen from the house. It's not gone but it's "out of mind". Vegged in the afternoon instead of doing much needed outdoor work.
1. If you have a small impact, use that to remove the clutch. Don't use rope with an impact. It doesn't even matter if the spark plug is in or out, it will spin it right off. (make sure you're turning it clockwise to remove.
2. On the chain spinning thing, a fast idle will of course cause it...
Some types of wood won't split when green. Sweet gum for instance will bounce a maul right back at your forehead. Once it dries it can be split. Elm is similar.
