Got some more trigger time on the 575xp. Got the chain dull again, twice. Now I am learning to carry a file guide with me

hiding behind the log

finished product on the way to be stacked at the piles some 200 feet behind the jobsite.

That's a healthy load.

That's a healthy load.

And the trucks pretty full too!

That's a healthy load.

The trees were in really good shape, they were taken down last summer to widen the road. It's real sandy soil and great for growing big oaks here.

I wanted to have it milled but the little mill a few miles away won't cut anything that had grown along a road because of too many nails in the trees.

Around here they take a metal detector to all the logs, if it beeps they just cut that part of the log off. If it don't beep then it's good to go.....:greenchainsaw:

well the only mill nearby refused to take it, all the other mills are too far away want anything to do with it, a lot of those big old trees have a wrap of barbed wire buried in the trunk someplace.

I didn't quite get through the biggest section I was cutting on, it was right into a huge wide crotch and my 28" bar didnt quite have enough reach. I started attacking the crotch from the other direction to piece it away one chunk at a time, and got my chain dull in a hurry.

I was tearing through the big trunk section pretty good, but my chain was sharper. Once I got into that crotch that was all impregnated with sand and dirt my chain didn't last long!
