A steal at twice the price. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A friend of mine is a landscape architect. He uses a method that involves taking lots of plain yogurt and mixing in a small amount of whatever breed of moss you like into a blender. Take the concoction and apply to any surface with a paintbrush. Fwiw, that picture above is awesome. Our...

Interested in the 394xp. Can you post pics here or email them?

Great info, thanks! I'll lurk around the trading post to see what I can find. I'm not in a huge hurry, so I can be picky. I wasn't sure how this process would go as far as time is concerned. Given that I do most projects around the house, I'm not terribly concerned with that, as long as I'm...

I have a fairly large sized pile of hardwood logs that are primarily used as firewood. I'm looking to get an Alaskan mill setup in order to harvest some of that wood for other uses, like lumber for a garage, furniture, etc. The logs range in species from hickory, oak, maple and poplar. Size...

Thanks for the replies. I do have a trustworthy arborist in mind to look at it. He has been to our property once before to give us a price for clearing the lot and driveway. Hopefully he tells me I'm nuts or has a simple plan to rectify this. This tree is kind of an extension of our family...

Hello all, We have 5 completely wooded acres surrounded by hundreds of other wooded acres and preserve. We are lucky to have an enormous and seemingly ancient white oak (by SE Pa standards) that clearly dominates the forest. Unfortunately, this year's leaf out seems to be quite thin compared...

The warm and fuzzy will come after you run the saw for yourself. My 562 keeps getting better with age! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One thing to keep in mind with a 3pt splitter is that your tractor is basically tied up when using the splitting wood. Think about getting a tow behind splitter that you can unhook from the tractor. That way, you can still move material around with the FEL or skid logs while splitting. Sent...

What if that tree had some lean to it and barber chaired on him? Completely defenseless position while doing potentially dangerous work. That's also got to be insanely rough on your back. I wonder how often this guy has to sharpen or replace his chains? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

That poor truck. Hickory is waaaayyyyy heavier than ash, too. Must have taken 60+ ash trees, cut into large rounds and moved every one by hand without issue. Got to the lot where it's all oak, hickory, etc - bought a tractor! Back can only take so much, so I can certainly feel for your truck...

That is a lot of wood in that truck. You can stack like that with ash, no way you can do it with oak, hickory, etc. Good luck and hope it keeps you nice and cozy this winter! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I feel like leaving a rat snake in my office at work for that very same reason! These Philly mice are tough and disgusting little bastards. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I live in SE Pa and have not seen a snake as of yet. The worst snake we'll see around here are copper heads. We have a large amount of glacial granite laying around the property - perfect for a snake looking for heat, so I'm wary when my daughter is walking about. I've spent a little bit of...

SE, Delaware county...for now. Will be moving back to Montgomery county when we sell this house.

Thanks for the link, though it's really tough to hear on my iPad. From what had been described later in the thread, it does sound similar in nature. I'll grease the needle bearing again before using it this weekend to see if it has an impact.

Termite, did it cause any sort of catastrophe? Or was it a simple fix? Part of my fear is that it is something like the crank - but that it would not result in a new saw, just a repair to the existing one. Your pictures have scared me into taking the saw back this weekend.

You must work for Ford! :msp_tongue: The dealer is a small Mom and Pop shop, so I doubt they see much of anything in this arena. The kid (son of the owner) who sold me the saw and who talked with me on the phone, mentioned that he's been running the same saw for two years with no issues and...

I bought a brand new Husq 562XP about a month ago to clear a driveway and lot for our new home. The first few weekends were fine while the saw began to break in, most everything it cut were ash trees about 18" or smaller, some cedar. This past weekend, I started the saw and immediately heard a...
