Jeez, those rounds must weigh a ton! Even a half after noodling must go 150 or better!

Yea, Red Oak is very heavy. Used a nice Hard Maple piece about 4" diameter X 10' as a lever to roll them.
I noodle them once, then feed the flat side into the vertical splitter, and often have to cut the stringy stuff with the Fiskars X27.

The thing is I already have the 2186 which although more powerful is also heavier.
If I cut more big wood I'd get a 395 and the 7910 would be a great "tweener" saw to close the gap between 60 and 95 cc lol.
Wow Mike that's some big wood, very nice, that square file makes good noodles. I was wondering how you moved them too!
Yeah once you get into magnum sized wood like that the work really starts! My large rounds at 6-8 splits per seem pretty paltry compared to 40" wood.
day two. All finished up. 
at the woodlot^¥
this was finally delivered
Was at the mall with my wife and she was looking at yet another purse. I made a comment and she got into a discourse about why she needed all these different purses. I replied with exactly why I need 5 chainsaws. The store lady perked up and added that she owned 3 saws and that that should be the minimum.
Purse store lady - 1
Wife - 0

Is the store lady married because she may need to post a profile on here...I'm sure they can make a section for that

I'm still working on this cut for the wood lot .
One thing about winching and clearing is that you have to go back and trim up your stumps so that the end of what your winching has a chance to ride up and over it .
But it doesn't always work , sometimes when you try and winch logs that you are changing direction they can get caught and break in two or this hitch got stopped dead because that 5" butt got hooked in a 6" stump .
It was sunny today and mid 60's got lots cut and some wood winched so it was a good day

I didn't forget the Zoggerwod , I've got little piles all around the perimeter that I make and throw that wood in as I'm making progress .
You shoulda seen the pile of noodles, the owner was using a snow shovel to throw them into the woods before the pics were taken! There were piles of em!
No scrounging today but I might wrench on saws later. Hoping my L65 oiling problem is just a plugged filter and maybe try to get after that top handle to see what's wrong with it.
Swept out the chimney today. With these cool nights, it won't be long before Mrs Wood Nazi will be wanting a fire. Got about a cup of dust and absolutely no creosote flakes out of it. Tells me the scrounge is dry and burning properly.
The oil trails snarked across the plastic....my new 65 wasnt oiling last week.
Was cleaning out the chicken coop and decided I could use some bedding. So out came the 460 and some elm rounds my splitter doesn't like. Voila! Chicken bedding, mulch, fire starter....
