    Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

    Been good Matt, takin advantage of the lack of snow in the woods. Got 7 or 8 cord down for next years firewood. The deer will feed on 'em all winter.They almost limb 'em for me! Just got to haul 'em out and cut 'em up, come spring. Life is good!!

    Nice to see what bare ground looks like, even if it's somewhere other than here!

    New Stihl 011AVT throttle cable

    Thought some of you fellers might be interested in these cables. E-Bay has them for sale - $22.95+$3.95 SH. The seller has a good feedback score, and is from the state of Washington. More than 10 available and OEM.

    Thanks for the birthday wishes, fellas! It's nice to be reminded,LOL. I've been in the woods cuttin' trees,making up for lost time. There was still snow in the woods till the end of April, so it put me way behind. 10 cord of firewood doesn't come rolling down the "hill"on it's own,unfortunately...

    I'm doin' good,Steve, but you guy's are killing me with all these bare ground pic's! The last time I saw dirt was back in November. Pretty tough cuttin' in the woods this winter.

    40cc chainsaw favorite for $300-$350?

    I would add the Husky 435 to that list also. 2.2 hp, 9.2 lbs. Impressive little saw for $200 or less.

    Easier skidding?

    ATV log arch, near you, on craigslist- $275. As stated already, pulling on wheels will be much easier on the "tractor" than dragging.

    Brake pedal went right to the floor boards first touch. Got a little pedal after a bunch more pumps, but didn't slow down a bit. Too steep an angle and too much weight behind me. Never blew a brake line with the moose.

    Maybe train me a new moose. The heck with gasoline engines!

    I think my "showing off" days are over, Zog. Not sure I can take another of those. May have to cut some new roads and quarter across the "hill" instead.

    I sure wish there was a small spruce around at the time, i would have aimed for it. I was on a side hill, so I had to hit the beech on the passenger side to keep from spinning my rear end onto the road and risk rolling over. It worked, just wished it was a smaller beech. lol

    Now that one really hurt!:ices_rofl:

    Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

    I aimed for a bunch of smaller trees first but it didn't slow me down. Wouldn't have been so bad if the 4 footers hadn't hit me in the back. Numerous ribs have multiple fractures because of that. Still with only seconds to decide a beech at 35 mph looked better than the other alternative. I...

    It was real skidder trail, deep ruts and all.

    Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

    A standard tranny would probably have had a different outcome for sure. I was in 4 high and couldn't drop it into low. The weight of 3/4 of a cord of red oak ( sorry dan) in the back boosted the momentum by a lot. I figured 35 mph into a tree was better odds than 40 or 50 by the time i reached...

    I wasn't going to say anything. Didn't want to derail the thread.;)

    I just finished throwing the last 6 cord into the cellar. I'll pay for that, but it's done anyway.
