Will do. This is why I ask these questions.
What do you think that log weighs. Would be a good big saw GTG log. I have access to a trailer that would move it if I could get it on there lol.Haha be a good sacrificial saw testing log if you had a few extra acres to store it on

A GTG in stihl Pennsylvania??? Keep me posted!
Testing out my new wheel-less wheelbarrow. Patent pending. Taking calls from interested investors now. 
Nice if your owb is downhill of the 
pile you can just ride it down.
pile you can just ride it down.Wood and snow, not included
I'd hoped to use a plastic toboggan today to move some of the ice storm firewood as we got a couple inches of fresh snow. It was too windy to work there though as there are widow makers and trees with root plates that are lifting... didn't want to be swatted from above! With temperatures going into the 50s and 60 within the next week that opportunity is lost!
I gave a friend a C5 in nice running condition to try out some milling with a 30" bar. He wanted to give me something for it and I said no. He kept driving me nuts. My cousin got 2 saws at an auction for $1. The C5 and a 330. So, I gave him the 330 and said fix it. Told him the manifold was probably shot. It was. he turned it into a good runner, at least 2 years ago. I've never gone over to get it. Might give me something to do tomorrow?
So the homelite c5 is pulling 30" 
that's awesome! My remington super 754 should pull 36" no sweat.

I was going with beech to.
That's just 1 load for H-RANCH and his trusty true temper wheelbarrow 
The bar was bigger than what he needed to mill, but the ladder was too wide for the smaller bar he had. I think the logs were in the 16-18" range. That being said. Our Boy Scout Patrol was in a contest to build the best fire ring. When fathers started helping the other patrols I was going to free hand a Black Locust log with my little Echo 305. I went to get it off my truck, and found my old Haddon Lumber Maker that uses a 2X4 as a guide. The 14" bar just made it through the little log. I notched out 4 rounds sitting on end and made two benches. That was when my son was 12-13, he's 30 now, and the benches are still there. So, yes I milled with it. No, it's not a milling saw. I have other saws for milling.So the homelite c5 is pulling 30"

I'm pretty sure the manifold is shot on my 360 also. Someone noticed a problem before they burned it down.

Getting in a little late. Scrounged ash, one of the trees in that truck load tried to kill me on the way down. Cut through the hinge on one side, allowed the tree to spin nearly 180* and land right where I was standing to make my back. Terrifying experience but lesson learned.
Me too, I should be able to do April, October and November are real hard for me. Fishing and hunting.
Dang James
.I'd guess Beech on the big log.
Not sure what it weighs, but my "big" kubota won't let that much with the loader, but the skidding winch might.
Me three
