You still using round file Nick?

Yes, for work that is what I use. That's a loop of stihl RSC.

Nice Nick.

No pictures of the saw, but I cut a couple buckets of cherry with a sweeeeeet ms290 lol. It was all that was needed to get the job done, but I would have rather have done it with the 450 rancher if it had to be a farm ranch saw .
Used the Japanese felling tool to fall the two cherries in the picture, then finished the grading of the back yard(at least phase 15 of the grading), and got it all seeded also.

Nice job. The cherry trees up here seem to have a weak root structure as well. Many of them are just dying out. But good wood nonetheless.

They are sort of pasture trees. Among the first ones to grow in the sunlight of a open space along with stag horn sumac for example. When main forest species move in, they shade them out killing them.

Interesting! My property upstate is about 40% Ash and 40% Cherry, but I have noticed the new growth is a lot of Red Oak and Black Birch! The Hard Maples mostly got decimated by the gypsy moth caterpillars years ago.

I hate to say it being that most of my saws are stihls but this little saw I the one I go for the most..gotta go clean up someone's yard grab the 51... 4 wheeler trails need clear out grab the 51... y'all get the point. Right around the same power as my ms029 but way lighter and more flickable.

 

[RI Chevy]

So it's a beater saw? Lol.

Well I wouldn't get carried away now LOL but I do like the little saw.. It set under my grandpas bench out side for about 2 years before I told him I was going to get it out and work on it. You couldn't even tell what color it was it had so much dirt and junk caked on it. gave it a bath cleaned the carb and the rest is history.

So it's a better saw? Lol.

Fixed it .

"holey" muffler mod lol.
Those are great little saws.
Did you do the intake mod on it so you can put machine screws in it in place of the coarse threaded ones as those are a week link on this model.

We have a good amount of cherry on our place too. It's nice because we have a lot of black locust and cherry here so it's a great mix of wood for the very cold(black locust) and the shoulder season(cherry). We also have a good number of red oak a few white oak, soft maple and the ultimate soft maple family anyway the box elder which is basically a weed, then a few mulberry also a weed.

Nice job. The cherry trees up here seem to have a weak root structure as well. Many of them are just dying out. But good wood nonetheless.

Ours are pretty hearty around here, they loose some big branches, but I rarely see one down unless it's a double leader that splits and those are usually quite large. I'll try to grab a picture of the cherry we have back in the woods, huge double that someone built a deer stand in, the stand has torn apart because the tree keeps growing, I really need to remove as much of it as possible so the nail/screws don't get hidden in it. I would guess the base is around 8'. My BIL had a huge cherry at around 6' across he was trying to get someone to buy but they all said it was hollow, when he finally took it dow(it was where his porch was going) it was 100% solid, he spent 3 days sharpening chains for guys while they cut it up(all saws were farm ranch saws lol).

They are sort of pasture trees. Among the first ones to grow in the sunlight of a open space along with stag horn sumac for example. When main forest species move in, they shade them out killing them.

Here they grow under the canopy or in a field, with the canopy, they basically grow everywhere.
I like using cherry for BBQ.
Just won a rib cookoff with these , yummmmmm, now I'm hungry.
They were cooked on some square cherry cookies.
Not exactly a work saw, but it does work for me.

There's no shame in liking any saws. My dad is a life long stihl man, tried my cs2260 and really liked it!
