I used my 066 and my 044>046BB conversion. Had to do some tree pruning in the yard.

Now why is it that I always get so carried away. I had to fight the urge to start felling trees, it would have been soo much FUN!!...lol!:greenchainsaw:

Hello to all,
This is my first time posting. I have been a member for awhile and would like to say Hi to everybody. I spent this Saturday bucking a big half dead oak with my new 395XP and my MS440. I was always a Stihl fan but I could not resist the power of the Husky. The 395xp a 36" bar and a skip chain and the 440 has a 25" bar. I only have about four tanks through the Husky now and it seems to get snappier with every one. I'm going to try and post some pictures.View attachment 93035

Cleaned up winter drops around the Barns and house with the 250, and finally got around to murdering a couple renegade Sassafrass tree's that have been needing killing with the 372.

Anyone else ever notice that Sassafrass kinda "Screams" a little just before they drop? :D

Gonna murder some Black Walnut and Elm tomorrow...er.. today.

Stay safe!

last weekend

Tree job involving 10 larger Oak, Sassafras, Locust, and one cherry. My 660 mag. with a 25" bar did the job while I incorporated a 20K Braden winch to nudge the wood in the right direction (near house and out buildings). Had a 61 Husky ready for backup. The 029, 192, and 200 never came out of the truck.
Seems like Spring is finally here in SE PA. Saturday anyway.

I used the ms460. I had a rotted out maple and wanted to get it cut down before spring storms. easy work with the 460. Put my brother to work with the portable grinder

Used my new JD cs56, aka: Efco 156. Got it on Friday and just had to hear it go so I cut up a bunch of railroad ties we have up here at work.

I ran the log wizard/455 over a few big pecan rounds I am going to use for BBQin'. Bark is no good for cooking.

I used the 390xp to block up a few of big rounds, and ran the 346 a little just trying to get it run in. I really like it so far.

Used the mighty 361. Not for long as my sled hauler driver got stuck and then pulled a muscle trying to get the sled out. Shame cause it was a nice day!

Filed the chains on the Dolmar, Husky. Got the little red one out to trim a few low hanging limbs and flush cut some small stumps. Had the little booger in the dirt more than not.

Been on the night shift all weekend, but I have tommorow off. I'll be firing up the 880 and bucking some big wood tommorow afternoon. Might get the 066 out also for some smaller stuff too :chainsaw:
