Not that big, perfect firewood size, it was about 22-23 inch at waist high, I can still lift the blocks up on the splitter.Oops! Wrong pictures.
Unless we have different ideas of what a big oak is...
Nice little Homelite.

I can only speculate. It’s weird, and unprofessional. Plus unless they were paid for it wasn’t any different than our situation, he knew we were working on approval.
If you look close at the stump my Stihl 660 with a 25" bar is sitting on it. Tree was just about 100' tall. This XL12 is one of the early ones at 54CC’s with a 16” bar, I stopped cutting the log at about 18” when the saw ran out of fuel. I have several more with 20 and 24” bars. It can pull a 24 with full 3/8 chain no problem. When the Super XL’s came out they went to 58CC’s. I took the video because I was thinking about putting the saw on ebay. But, dang, I like it too much! Think I'll sell my MS290 instead. I bought 19 saws last year and every time I get one running it becomes my new favorite, for it's size range. All but one I bought last year were over 70CC's.Bigger than I thought it was from the pictures.

The bottom pic is from a year ago before the growth spurt. The top pic is from the weekend. My 5'7" 175# draft horse. He's repping 245# on his deadlift. He is trying to drop a little weight for wrestling season, but not so much it will drop his ability to gain strength. Stupid strong for most 15yr olds.

Nice looking saws.I picked up the saws already, then they called an hour later saying they need me to bring them back because they were already sold, but they forgot to put them aside. I would have first dibs when more arrived. At first he wanted one back, and I was ready to do that. Then he said they needed both back, and tried to trade me bigger saws. At that point I said “You know, we bought them, and we have them, whatever you’re trying to do isn’t my problem”. He said okay, and hung up.
In a way I feel bad, and maybe I burned a bridge. But I think a sale is a sale...

Funny listening to that saw cutting in the video it didn't seem like it was moving, but it went right thru that log.If you look close at the stump my Stihl 660 with a 25" bar is sitting on it.

I thought you said it was a bit of a drive.
I would have said that I didn't want a bigger saw, but rather a smaller one and asked for the 2511's .
Hope they work out well for you, echo makes a great product. Open the muffler up and they come to life and it can be done with leaving the spark arrester in place.
Back when you started asking about it I posted a lot of links/videos on the mods.I doubt they had the 2511s, but I didn’t look.
I haven’t done any muffler mods, but can research it.
With them being that close it would be a shame to burn that bridge, although the fact that they are so close isn't the only reason to not burn a bridge...Fifteen minutes.
I‘ll be hesitant to deal with them again after this weirdness.
40v Strikemaster? Is that one of the light-flight plastic augers? If so, those are really impressive.Got three poles set on rock today and part of the frame put together. Wasn’t able to hit solid bottom closer to shore till I was about 10’ down so I’m going to need to use metal dock poles (expensive but necessary). Luckily I should have enough decking for the whole project from scrounged projects so I don’t need to pay scalper rates for lumber right now.
Sure beats trying to drive poles from a boat!!
BTW the water is as high as it’s going to get so I set the top of the beams 12” above that.

Yes, I’m very happy with it. I think I’ve been fishing with it 5 or 6 times (drilling anywhere from 3-10 holes per time) plus drilled about ten holes yesterday and the battery was down to half.40v Strikemaster? Is that one of the light-flight plastic augers? If so, those are really impressive.
I agree with Chipper. Approach the owner/manager (assuming that they were not the person who tried the funky business) and ask them WTAF was going on with that deal. Then make your decision as to what type of relationship you want with that place based off their response.Fifteen minutes.
