Slice-noodle the 4’ x 20” wheels into firewood for the hotel/restaurant in the mountains. I’m thinking aggressive 24” chain and a big rim on the ported 3120. A buddy also has a towable gas powered hydraulic splitter.Bartering, cut up - explain please, I don't follow!
Good luck to you.Gonna do some bartering and cut this up.

Maybe it will end up being a ported 60cc, or the 2166, haha.Good luck to you.
I'm still favoring a semi-sore right shoulder from fooling with rounds like that--2 months ago. lol
925 is a project, maybe this summer.Use the 925 to noodle them, they have pretty open covers and lotsa torque so it should be ideal. If that doesn't work, 395 is the way to go, 3120's are too damn heavy and will ruin your back.
That's why I don't have a sig, all my saws are projects except my 562, 272, and 2100. Currently I'm re-going through my 10-10. I thought it needed crank seals but it's looking like the dummy that rebuilt the carb in the fall of 2019 might have assembled it wrong.... Fortunately I, uh, he has learned a lot since then and is fixing his past mistakes.925 is a project, maybe this summer.
I think I need to add some detail to my sig, haha
I tend to agree with you except the 395 isn’t ported yet so not as many funs. But then the people around might not get as many funs out of a ported saw as I
Forget the splitter, noodle those rounds.Slice-noodle the 4’ x 20” wheels into firewood for the hotel/restaurant in the mountains. I’m thinking aggressive 24” chain and a big rim on the ported 3120. A buddy also has a towable gas powered hydraulic splitter.
I hope to trade that oak work for bringing home a couple 40” pine logs once I cut them down. They are good winter desert camping firewood or maybe slabs. Also some other work around the property in exchange for getting to stay for the weekends...where it’s 80f instead of 110f. I posted a pic of those pines somewhere...
You need a Dolmar/Makita 7900/7910, great noodler!925 is a project, maybe this summer.

When I noodled rounds, I never cut all the way through. Maybe 3/4 an added a notch on top (made myself wedges that I still use to cut today). Then I’d use a demo bar to pop the round in half. Was even easier when the rounds were semicircles with the bark side down, most would just fall into quarters on their own as I got need the end of the cut. Certainly saved chain life by not nearing the ground or more bark.My Sunday morning effort:

Ash, red elm, and cherry. I had to quarter noodle most of them using my Stihl MS441c with a 24" bar to both buck and noodle. Then we split them all and filled two pickup trucks. It worked and more is on the agenda, hopefully when it ever cools off.
