Echo 360t did all but the big trunk in the pic 034 av super was buried in this locust

Broke out the 930, 046, and 241 to cut up this white oak that died and was heavily leaning towards my barn. So a tree guy buddy came in and pieced it down for me.

Today I'm cutting with my awesome Mak!

 

[Ryan Browne]

I got to run my Shindaiwa 488 and Dolmar 421 for about a tank each yesterday. Well, I'm exaggerating a little. That danged Dolmar just wouldn't run out of gas!

I'm adding a new small section of woods on vacuum tubing for my maple syrup operation. Before I set up the tubing I'm clearing a lot of the little stuff, and selecting for more desirable species. Lots of sugar maple, red maple, bitternut hickory, and ash, with some poplar mixed in. It's all about the same age, so the poplar is about 14" diameter, the ash around 10", the red maple 5-8", and the sugar maple 1-6", with some larger tappable ones mixed in. Hopefully with less competition, I'll have some nice maples in a few years.

Nice to be in the woods this time of year. Much easier to see what you're doing with no leaves. No skeeters either. Still a little hot and sweaty though. Odd for November...

I wish I had a 488. Those are great saws. Nice to get out and do some timber stand improvement, releasing those trees ought to get them to jump.

Put a few tanks through this tank (038 mag conv.) this past weekend. Say what? Yea, it's loud!

OEM or aftermarket elasto start handle?

 

[Ryan Browne]

Ran the 421 a bunch today. Like more than a full tank of fuel . I'm doing a bunch of thinning along the north edge of my woods. A tank full lasts a LONG time when you're mostly cutting stuff under 6". I also used my 036 when I needed a bigger bar. The Dolmar has a 12" on it right now. I tell you, that 036 with a 16" felt heavy after using that Dolmar most of the morning.

Anyway, here's a picture of it perched on top of my new log wagon. I also picked up the orange logrite 30" pickaroon recently. I previously owned a pickaroon, but this thing is a cut above. Worth the money!

It is a Stihl brand part. The saw had a regular handle and I upgraded to the elasto start. I have to say it helps the sore shoulder...some...

Good to hear. I have been nothing but disappointed by the aftermarket ones.

I'm gonna assume he's a lefty ? Otherwise that pipe would be horribly in the way.
