I find it interesting you don't use your ear muffs on your Peletor helmet.

Stihl helmet

I don't for felling because I want to be able to hear creaks/cracks/pops in the tree or hear the spotter trying to notify me of any potential issues/widow makers. I do put them on for bucking and limbing since that's just continuous noise.


Fwiw, my chaps were also safely on the trailer :taped::blush: I was a baaaaaad boy

:agree2: Pretty much sums it up.

Personally I wouldn't cut without it now! Last year you could actually tell by looking at my wood pile when in the day I cut pieces... Morning everything seemed to be 18-20 and late afternoon everything seemed to be 13" rounds... I hated stacking wood like that. With the mingo, everything comes out within 15.5-16.5" which I love. (my furnace fits 16s nicely) If you want other lengths, you can just buy different wheels for it.

Does it go through the paint? I love the idea but spending $30 for the marker and then shelling out $10 for the paint...uff.

Great pic's, thanks for letting us be there!
Nice blow by blow. I love the odd angled saw shot, but "which one of these dosn't belong"?:taped:

Nice job, wish I was there!

It's actually pretty economical on the paint. If you role at a decent clip, it only shoots a small dot each time. I've been on the same can since last year and it still feels pretty full...

Nice work guys - Beats working alone all the time -

Great pics. Love to see the action shots. Those kinds of trees give me nightmares. All the limbs are a pain. Usually I'm dropping those onto a plowed field and all of that has to be cleaned up before spring. An hour running the saw and 3-4 hours dragging brush and loading wood.

I need to find a strong back helper. Then I can run the saw and stay with what makes firewood fun.

Agree with everyone else. Great pictures esp the weird saw angle one, I laughed out loud.

Does the mingo take a special type of can (for the spray paint)?

I looked at the mingo's in Baileys but I didn't see a specific can of paint for mingo's.


I wonder if those cans of upside down spray paint would work?


Anyway, I want a mingo, and will purchase it pretty soon. I appreciate the heads up on the paint issue.

Great pics Nuzz. Nice to see you harvest wood sanely and not in waist deep snow.

Just a basic upside down construction type can with the nozzle that sprays when bumped sideways in any direction. It's pretty common and comes in an assortment of neon colors I get it at Fastenal cause the girlfriend works there.

My lungs certainly thanked me for working on solid ground

Thanks for the info. We have a fastenal in Angola. I will check them out for the paint then.
