Looks like you need to buy a 7900 to go with that 5105

type of trees?

Are some of the damaged trees beech? In western Michigan a lot of the beech trees are infected with BBD (Beech Bark Disease). Yours might be suffering from the same thing.

I have 3 7900's and a 3120, just wanted to see how 5105 was in 92 degree heat and 90% humidity.Work good, carb set at 14100,no vapor locking or starting problems.

Yes alot of the beech here are hollow at the very bottom making them a little dangerous to cut down, best to let wind take care of them. I had one 36" beech brake off in backcut and go the wrong way and bend last 6" of a 42" bar 90 degrees. Also had some big oak, ash and maple down

Sounds like your set for a good time of cleanup then

Stay safe and take your time. They'll be there waitin' when you get to them.

Is this all destined for firewood and are you going to sell some?

All the trees will be cut into firewood, I logged the woods 2 years ago and took out around 600 trees plus another 325 about 8 years ago. I got the saws to get the job done but I'am lacking in the splitting department, 1 monster maul and 1 fiskar 4.25lb maul.

beech

Carefull hand splitting beech! I don't know if I am getting old or what. Every year I say I won't cut any more beech(or elm) until I get a splitter. Last summer I cut and split 2 cords of beech. Some split fine, the rest darn near killed me. I got tennis elbow and couldn't cut or split for a few months. Last week I knocked down a big dead elm. Guess I haven't learned much in the last 20 yrs.

I need a splitter bad! If I get one soon I'll pm ya after the elm.

How big is that oak? It looks like it will make a lot of firewood by the pictures.
