Not fair.

Hallo. Oregon have made bars and chains for more then 70 years. And Husqvarna has made it for mabe 10 years. So they dont have enougt exspirience.
And the quality is inconsistent. Same With the new chain c 83-85 If you bye an EXL chain and file the same profile as an c-85, you Will get a very nice cutting chain.

New Sugi showed up yesterday so, back in biz. If it ain't raining, should be back in the woods this weekend.

The next couple of days is supposed to give us 4 inches or so. We need it.

I put a Total/Tsumura bar on a 346XP Extra Bananas OE/NE hybrid that Randy built. it's a bit heavier than the blount industries bar it replaced, but WOW! the control, feel and accuracy of that bar is amazing!!

That was all she could handle there. That was live oak. Pretty heavy. Had a little more weight on that load than I should've. Dead dry wood, I'd have loaded the back more..lol.

I burn quite a bit so, if I'm gonna go to the woods, might as well get a load...!!

Where would you put it? Roof, hood?

LOL.....

Hey, look close, & you can tell, I could've fit a few more in the back. Could've made a rank instead of just throwing a few stragglers back there. Coulda rounded up the main ones too.... hahahaha. Would've had to be lighter though.

We were really dry for awhile. Was a bit unusual. Making up for it now.. Got a couple inches this week, & much more coming next week.

You'll like that Sugi.

Only about an inch and 1/2 of rain here in the last three months, ground is cracking and hard as a rock, burn ban has been in effect for awhile. Hopefully we get a good bit.

If I had 4 inches it would be double what I have now!!!

Been really behind this year. Day job & all. Yesterday, I had the opp to go cut some firewood after it quit raining. So, I took my MMWS babies ( 562 & 353) out to the woods...

The game commission did a so called, controlled burn recently that engulfed my tract.... Anyways, certainly got after it yesterday.

Ended up getting a couple decent loads back to the woodshed.

Certainly have a lot more to do, & am planning on a full day of it next week but, do have my stove up & running, & a start on this years heat/hot water..

So, my Stihl buddy came to get a load too. Didn't make it through the 1st tree, & his 290 was down. His oiler *s-word the bed, & he started using my 353. I offered the 562 but, he preferred the lighter one. Well, I'll be damned if not 4 cuts into blocking if, my bar had a pretty good malfunction. The sprocket on the end came apart.

Have never seen this happen before..! Maybe the mastermind treatment was finally too much for the stock husky bar This was a 4yr old, stock husky bar, that I put on in Oct '15 right when I got my 353 back from Tenn.

I've cut my own firewood for close to 25yrs now. Until last season, I was always working on a 1 saw plan, not including any buddies that were there as well. Although yesterday, between the 2 of us, we went to the woods with 3 saws, & 30 minutes in, we were down to 1.

Fortunately, the 562 just winked & said lets giterdun boys. She chewed up, & spit out about a cord & 1/2 or so. Ordered a new Sugi for the 353 last night, & should be ready to go by the weekend. Planning on taking a full day one day next week, & filling up the dump truck.

Since last year, I don't go to the woods without both saws anymore. Sure was glad I upgraded to a 2 saw plan. Ol lady just rolled her eyes when I got the 562

Now, how about that top handle saw

I've never gone out with just one. 2 minimum. Lately it's been 3. Yes. Those top handles are very sweet for cutting up the top of the tree stuff. No idea why I waited so long in getting one. I recommend them. On the plus side. They're easy on gas. Normally.
