Whatever it was in WI at Treemonkeys charity cut a couple years ago. High teens, low 20s maybe....I can't remember.

I think it was 6 degrees when we left the motel that morning, but it made it up into the 20's probably.
At least it was not too windy!

 

[Dub11]

Never

never cut wood when it was that cold but thats like my prime time todo auto repair

 

[Hedgerow]

Yuk..
Auto repair..

I'd rather take a beating.

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

What's the lowest temp that anybody has gone out, personally, to the woods to cut firewood?
Myself -10 F.

-5 for me cold isn't bad when there's no wind.

 

[Dub11]

I love cold weather saw seems to be happier too but since I dont burn wood you wont find me out there unless its storm damage.

 

[concretegrazer]

Coldest for me is probably in the teens. Got other stuff to be doing when it's colder. We did work cattle once in the single didgets and snow on the ground. That was fun.

 

[jeepsnchainsaws]

I have cut down around 10, my old Homeys are happier in the cold I think.

 

[Douglas Ostrander]

2 degrees. Had to use a cant hook to free logs because logs were frozen to the ground. Plus kept saw in the truck when not sawing to keep bar oil warm.

I think I had 8 on the truck display when driving to tree monkeys.

Have any of you guys used silver streak bars from stens? What about the green forester bars? Looking for a cheap 36" bar.

If it's for limited use, the Forrester will work.
Extended use, and you will be buying new bar tip for it.

I got a Husky mount 36" Forrester that's got 3 tanks through it I would sell for $60. I bought a light weight Stihl bar so I don't need the Forrester any more

The bar will not be used very much. I have one tree that iam helping a guy cut up. I need the bar to fit my bigbore ported 046. I have never needed a bar this big before who knows when I would need it again. So I don't want to spend a lot of money on it just to hand on the wall.

Yeah, me too.

 

[jeepsnchainsaws]

Got the dead one down today. It was leaning right toward the house, had to winch it backward.

 

[jeepsnchainsaws]

Anyone interested in a saw for a 3 point?
I have the belt and the drive pulley that goes on the PTO. I would be more interested in trading it for something than selling, but whatever.

 

[Black Dog Chainsaw]

Workshop seating with storage underneath. Think I need arm rests and beer/cup holders... might find a seat cover for it too...

The both of you just need to pick a Saturday and come to cut wood with me have you guys could work out a deal on that bar. I'll make something in the Crock-Pot for lunch.
