Couple pics from today

Dropped this dead maple today. It was right next to one of my 4wheeler trails. It was a great tree to try out my new 440 on. LOVE that saw!

Here is the 440 on the stump, it has a 20" bar, stump was 28".

I know my hinge sucks, I don't often drop trees that much bigger then my bar.
And here is the current stable of saws. 440, 361, 261 masterminded, 350. I don't use the 361 hardly at all now, will probably give it back to my uncle.

I dropped a few more today but a friggin blizzard rolled in and I retreated to the garage for some beers. Good day off!

one of these things is not like the other.

i suggest a 25 or 28" bar for that 440. get it ported too

I was thinking the same thing. Makes my 350 look like crap.. And I just cleaned her up yesterday. Maybe Turtle wax.....

Nice work. Looks like a fun day. Let em fall!:chainsawguy:

I'm jealous. I have wood to harvest but family commitments and a sore elbow kept me from partaking. Still split some rounds but nothings more fun than dropping trees, especially when they land somewhere other than on me.

I guess 14 years in Army gives me a little OCD, I like to keep all my things clean. The saws get plenty nasty but I enjoy having a few beers and cleaning them up after a day cutting. In all fairness the 261 was bought in october and the 440 is only a week old.

I love my 350! But it is the odd ball, at least till I get a 395xp...
I thought about a 25" bar on the 440 but a tree like today is rare, 20" covers pretty much all I need.

Nice, I love the snow. I vote you put a 28" bar on that beast and keep the 361 with a 20". Saves a lot of time if you ever do get into the 24"-28" stems.

Looks like a nice day off. Nothing wrong with taking care of your equipment, that's how it lasts I'd keep the 361 and run that Husky over with the truck then light it on fire:hmm3grin2orange:
Cutting trees sure is thirsty work!

Looks like you had fun today! With a ported 261 that 361 is kinda pointless, dont blame ya for thinking of giving it back.
