I might need to invest in a water saw if I have any hope of cutting wood this winter. Good grief will this rain ever stop.
Any saws run good in the water?

I have chainsaws and chainsaw accessories.
The ol homelite super xls can run on water i think.
Probably not the answer you where hoping for, but battery power works alright under water in most cases.
I know the struggles. We live in an area where in winter it is mostly wet. And if you want to do something without a catepillar, you need to wait for some deep frost and you never know if or when that happens. Can be between decemer and march, mostly just a week or two.

Just griping. This is one of the wettest winters I can remember. My back yard is a swamp.

Not sure. I know that Paul Newman's big Mac wouldn't run in water when he tried to cut the logs to save Joe Ben who got trapped between logs in river. "Sometimes A Great Notion". The Mac did cut well when Newman cut desk in half.

I use my Poulan Wild Thing cutting trees out of the creek. Sounds good when the muffler goes under

You beat me to it.
And me. It might have been the greatest chainsaw scene that was ever filmed. People left the theater in shock because it was so real. Frankly, filming that scene could not have been easy.

A bunch of us here on A/S passed around a copy of that movie 10 years ago or so...good movie, and an even better book. Ken Kesey wrote it, a damn good writer.
Same here in NC....wettest year to date. We're above average rainfall by about 24" after today....2-3" of rain today.
I feel your pain! I haven't had a decent week's work in at least 2 months now!

I think it's paying us back for Michael not dumping as much as predicted, at least thats my view from 30mi north of what was Mexico Beach, get home next week and start sawing lots of oak, along with trying to get FLA Pile burner certification and roof and other repairs completed, think I will be sawing, piling, and burning for most of the year.

I’m with you...I have 16 acres and I’ve been having a hard time getting to it this year when it’s convennient. On top of that, my wood is outside because I’m pouring a slab after the holidays so I’ve been piece mealing wood inside my shed. This rain in CT over the past few months have been killing me.
Well aren't you a ray of sunshine. lol
Pretty sure I saw Noah down the road building some kind of huge boat.

We are pretty much in the same boat up here in NJ. 75% above our annual rainfall. It sucks and I feel your pain
I feel all of y'all's pain. I don't make a living with my saws, I just heat my home. I have a big pile of wood I need to cut and stack, I just cant get to it. Y'all stay safe out there.
Guess we'll have on rain coats tomorrow. Got to set out the hog trap, been too wet or raining every weekend. Almost got stuck last Saturday scouting out a place. All the rain has had the creek bottom flooded out running the pigs into the fields and they are tearing it up real bad. Looks like someone had been mud bogging every where. Done got sick and tired of the hogs and the rain.
