I finally got back out and started hauling wood back home. 2 of these trees I took down back in May. There's 5 honey locust right here. Then there's a huge pile of pushed together stuff, that's going to take so sorting through.

I'm going to get after it the next week. So hopefully there's not much left here next week. There's gotta be 10 cord right where I'm at. Probably another 5 in the pushed together pile. Then there's 2 other large piles I have yet to fully assess.

Here's the first load and how I haul my saws to the further jobs. View attachment 355983View attachment 355984View attachment 355985View attachment 355986View attachment 355987

Never see honey locust here.

I like your taste in saws, and that saw rack is slick...

Thanky Sir! I'm thankful to have the saws and honey locut.

I use this to get my saws up off the bed when I'm going a ways from home. Keeps them from sliding all over. Simple, yet effective.

Yes Sir! With what some of these saws cost (a lot for me), anything I can do to take care of them better, I'll do.

Ever use semi-chisel? It's a lot more durable for dirty or frozen wood, but it is a little slower, then again dull full chisel is slower lol. I usually just ad a bit more hook to find a middle ground between the two and to help it self feed better.

I have not used the semi chisel . I've thought about trying it out . I use 404 quite a bit but in full chisel . The corner is so large on 404 so it stays sharp much longer than 3/8 . I have a lot of chains in my rotation so it's easy to just swap out a chain when it is dull . I don't hand file anymore , I just bring a bunch of chains with me when I cut dirty wood . When I get home I enjoy drinking beer and sharpening chains on the grinder .

I get that.
I have a 5 gallon bucket of home depot rental saw chains(20x72dl), they are safety chains with the huge bumpers, I cut the bumpers off and then hit them with the chain grinder. They are great for dirty wood of flush cutting stumps.
404 semi seems to lasts forever compared to 3/8 chisel.

Don’t know if this counts!!!!! It’s not mine, but I helped buck it up and load it. My cousin has a firewood business, so this was all his. But I did get to run my xs 2188.

No love for that trailer!

I cut up a blowover Red Oak this morning with my xs 550xp and my xs 572xpg . I was fortunate enough that most our snow melted . There were rocks everywhere by the tree that with my luck I would have hit with the chain .

Several of my neighbors are logging their properties. I got this load of culls from one of the loggers. I’m still working on tops at another property but I’ll take delivered to my splitting area over cutting and hauling every time.

Wow! Free? That's worth at least a case of premium coldies.

His way of saying I’m sorry. I said thank you.

Worked over my mini-log pile. 48” pieces of chestnut oak. Ended up being .8 cord.



Supervisor Roscoe was watching closely.

The only kind of supervisor I'd want. Good looking pup! Nice pile of wood too.

This job is sort of a pain. Oak has been sitting for 4-5 years the customer said. A lot of rot. Some of the oak sticks are partly buried.

 

[I saw a lot]

Hate dealing with rotted wood. Have a lot of silver maple that's been sitting a bit too long. Wasted energy that puts me in a bad mood.
