Cut'n and Split'n

[sawjo]

I got a 5+ cord load of tree length hardwoods last week from one of the local tree removal outfits. Got started this past weekend. I made fast work of cutting with my MS361 with a 24" bar and Stihl skip chain. I also broke out a Homie SXL Auto that I got this Summer from a estate/yard sale. The Homie only had a few hours use tops. I sanded the points to get spark back and ran it with a Laser 24" and skip chain as well. The SXL was nearly NOS - really fun to run one of these thats time capsule perfect, all correct fasteners, nothing broken or wired together, like brand new. Had a perfect weekend cutting in my own yard at my own pace.

Nothing better than cutting at home..

Never have to haul it far,
Congrats on the nice load of wood.

Looks like about as good a way to spend a day as any! I'll be glad when I can cut wood in cooler weather like it appears you're having.

I like the Lone Star on your garage.

Homie SXL vs Super XL

Seeing those pics reminded me of a saw I recenetly saw except it was red/black and said "Super XL". It looked like it had a decent sized motor and 3/8 pitch chain. How did your homelite compare in power and cutting speed to your 361?

The older ones were blue, "SXL" stands for Super XL. Going to be heavier than a 361 by a good measure, slower, but will muscle through a tough cut better. I still haul mine out too, I love the saw, just has something "right" about it.
