Running Saws for Therapy
For all of you who are weekend warriors who like me love being in the woods but have a desk job I thought I'd share.
Got a big New Holland tractor, chains, 372XP and 262XP to harvest a few pines in the Lancaster, MA town forest.
We're getting the wood sawn to build a new sugar shack for our 80 gallon production of maple syrup the cub scouts produce each year from over 100 maple trees around town.
First time w/ 28" bar and 73JGX skip chain on the 372. Felling and cutting the logs to length w/ the skip chain saw felt great.
Didn't get any footage felling, but got a couple vids carrying logs w/ tongs and dragging one that was too heavy for the bucket.
Got a few 16', 12', and 8' straight chunks of white pine. Have another 10 trees to go. Trying to carry logs instead of dragging to keep 'em clean.
