Yea the clear maple does split easily. Good thinking on the display of being a bad@ss. Never hurts to let others know that

0 degrees and extreme winds here today. Glad I’ll be inside this weekend.
Not quite that cold here but pretty gusty overnight. @James Miller took this pic by his house this morning. I found 3 more ash trees that went over but to wet/muddy to get them. Anyone else not getting alerts to this thread?
Yikes!
BTW alerts seem to be working over here.

I saw others blown nearly over also. Oddly all the trees in the areas I cut regularly survived. So I took the 2095 to a stumping job just to run a saw.
then noodled it up for easy splitting when I get back there.
This red head can drink. That's a full tank to stump that ash and get it noodled. Should be able to start leaning it out after another tank or so.
I looked it up. That saw holds all but a quart.
Well, this showed up from a neighbor today. Heck, the bucket alone must be worth $1!

All I know is I'm gona need a 2 gallon can if that saw sees alot of use. Thinking about picking up a 7310 echo since I gave the dolmar back to my cousin. Should handle out to a 28 well and get much better mileage lol
Started getting the ash the power company is clearing away on my street 
Yes a fair few trees down around my bit of South London. I need to text my friendly tree guys
Nice to see you back. That 1050 you told me needed a bigger bar? now has a 45" on it.

I've still got the little 150 and a 360 on the shelf. Some day I'll find time to bring them back to life.

There's a golf course in Sacramento that in addition to having quite an assortment of clubs stuck up in the many trees on the course (I've seen those), has a tree that had a crotch where golf balls came to rest. The limbs were of the right size and angle so that when the wind blows they move back and forth and the golf balls are slowly splitting the tree. I haven't seen the tree but the source is very credible and without the sort of personality to make up anything as odd as this.
Wicked winds over here Thursday night into Friday here in Delaware and Philadelphia Counties. We didn’t have power when I first got to school this morning. Ton a trees and wires down.50mph+ winds over night.
Same here in michigan. But most 90% of the ash has been blown down already since the eab wrecked there havoc long ago. Still a few standing but not for long.
My 620p handles a 28” Stihl bar with an adapter no problem. Modified carb and muffler. I’m sure a 7310 would have no issues running a bar that long. Only photo I have at the moment noodling up some hard ash
I think 32 and 36 it will run on the 7310. I was looking at them aswell.
Good to see you posting again James, it has been a while!

My ported 590 has been putting in some work lately. I'm sure it would pull a 28 if I needed to. But anything over a 20 I'd just grab the 7910 dolmar. I gave the dolmar back to my cousin so I've been looking at the 7310s to take its place.
