Lol me when I joined here a couple months ago I had 2 chainsaws 1 weedeater and 1 pole saw since I have joined here I have added a neotec 660 clone for milling, a 372 xp just because I wanted one and a 562xp autotune just because I wanted to try an autotune outI feel quite at home here at least!
Matt had an elm at one of his GTGs. His hydro would not split it. Dougs Super Split SE would not split it. The pieces we were trying to split were not that big, 8-10 inches diameter. It was like trying to split steel cable. The pieces we tried splitting looked like a smashed ball of steel cable when we were done; and it took a lot of effort to get there. Had to noodle the whole darned tree. Never seen anything like it since.Years ago my Uncle would let me cut my firewood off his place. I cut down a good sized one and he came driving up, got out and said that’s a black gum. It’ll be hard to split. I was young, strong and stupid then. I said that’s ok, I’ll get it split. (I was splitting by hand then). Got the stuff home and hammered 2 steel wedges ALL the way flush. Never even phased that piece. Those wedges were stuck in that chunk until it dried out. Even then it took a saw and axe to get my wedges out. Nowadays I’m old, weak and still stupid but I have a hydraulic splitter now.
That is hilarious. What is next on the list? Just wait until you run a well ported saw, then you will really lose your mind
I already have plans on getting some ported when I get the funds
I also have to find and get with someone about porting a saw
Yup, way too many trees in this state.......
We need to change the sticker on the bobcat to read Tomcat; it fits me better
I've got a 661c that Matt preciated the sound while cutting at a gtg for making a hedgerow into firewood. Wasn't broke in too long at that time. Even sweeter now lol
We are fortunate to have several very good porters here.
