see. Now THAT was fast.
Not if you think the fire wood as being a 5' dbh half dead white oak..

I agree and it seems like the saw was making dust not chips.

Yea, it looked slow. How much wood you figure that was ? I think his bar may have been cutting through that pile behind that one. Slicing a half cord of seasoned hardwood in a couple minutes ain't too bad, no?

I don't understand the point of doing it that way. Stack it band it cut it stack it again in a different spot. I think it would be faster to just cut it to size to begin with.

First of all, someone needs to tell him to put his ear muffs down while cutting and up when not cutting, not the other way around. Second, why not have the skidsteer right there and not let those halves fall, just scoop them up with the skid forks and put them on the pile. Then you can un-band them or leave them to move again in the future. Just my observations, other that that it was cool, we have cut alot of banded slabwood like that with the 3120 and 5' bar or 395's with 36" and 42".
Not really. How long was that bar? A stock MS880 doesn't have a lot of chain speed.

Stock 880 will be running 9 +k in the cut. If that chain was sharp we'd be seeing some nice chips from the saw.
I found it a bit painful to watch after a while.
And with a really sharp chain the length of the bar is much less and issue. Otherwise the power it needs crosses the threshold into more than the saw is happy with just like we see.

I would have expected a better chain on a bar that big. A waste of a good saw using it like that. Maybe it was a German efficiency experiment! Split the wood first, then cut it to length, instead of cutting it first and having to split twice as many pieces. I thought leaving it banded after cutting it was a good idea as well, 4 bands instead of 2 and then you could move the whole stack around at once with a loader or wheeled trailer.
Is that the new Fahrfromcuttin commercial?

I'd be worried with the bar cutting into the other stack, that something may give and cause some kick-back... And it seems like it'd be easier, just to cut them in 2ft. lengths the first time - not moving the wood twice...
And the fast moving 440, seems a little silly too. It seems like a competition I guess, but I would thing swigning a running saw around quickly, would sound like a bad idea to most of us orn with common sense. No?

good thing he bought the helmet with the earmuff on it!
