...with my 260!

Hah, not really. I used my favorite saw, the 660 w/36" bar on it.

My part time dog (actually my dad's dog, but she likes to come out to the woods with us)

And finally, my trusty wood hauler.

The oak was 40" where I felled it. If I get out there tomorrow, I'm gonna have to get some action shots for y'all. Maybe even a vid of the 660 tearin it up.

Sorry about the quality, the pics were taken with my phone.

Hey man, those a pretty good quality for a phone camera. Nice drop, looks like you'll have some work to do... That size tree would last me a good portion of an entire season. :cheers:

Had me going for a minute there in the first pic...

Haha, yep. That'd be pretty amazing eh?

Looks good..
Looks like you have a few trips to make. Hope your not going to far.

Nope, the woods is right behind my house. I pretty much hit the jackpot with this wood lot. Asked my neighbor earlier this fall and he was more than happy to have me in there.

Looks like it seasoned on the stump a bit.

That's a haul of fuel! :cheers:

Keep us posted as we want to see how you handle the big rounds.

Yeah, she's got about 4" of punky stuff under the bark at the stump, limbs are pretty much useless. Gotta split off the bad stuff and toss the limbs in a pile. Going to split her up right there, haul it up to the house and stack it. I dont burn myself, this is all for sale.

My phone has a pretty decent cam on it actually. Going to be busy this week for sure.

Real nice trailer Evanrude...looking forward to tomorrows pic as well. btw what kind of tractor is that?

Sorry, I didnt get out to the woods today. Trailer is all I've got to haul my wood deliveries in. Gotta be careful with er, she's pretty light duty. Been looking for a nice tandem trailer, but havent found the right one yet. Tractor is a Simplicity 7116.

I loved the video! I must be old and married with children. I watched 1 min 25 sec video of a guy cutting a round off a tree at 11pm Friday night. What a loser I am! . . . . but I still enjoyed it. Need to get one of those big saws someday.:yourock:
