I get a lot of heavy oak rounds and noodle anything that is difficult to lift. Say 2 foot in diameter or larger. Do you think that is too time consuming or should I be using the splitter, which can go vertical?
I agree with Randy, and it sure is fun noodling with a ported 2186 and a 24".We noodle larger rounds in the woods as we buck them up......I wanna save my back all the heavy lifting I can.
I broke my back several years ago, so I have to be careful. When noodling large rounds I get usually down on one knee. The older I get, the smarter I try to work.
Its no different than bucking large rounds. 1 to 3 min in the cut at a time. But most time its 30 sec or less!Everyone thinks that noodling is hard on the saw........seems like no problem to me.

It sure is fun to see the bar cover plug up and the noodles carry over and the saw doesn't even slow down!Yeah I agree. I usually use my 90cc saws with a 20 or 24" bar and they cut through them pretty efficiently.
I broke my back in a motorcycle wreck a few years back and now have enough hardware in it to open a small hardware store. While it has slowed me a bit, I still split the rounds with my x27. So sometimes it takes more than a few whacks to crack it, but I get er done. If I do need to noodle a chunk, I'm down on both knees.
