Memorizing watching her split wood. I split 4 to 5 cords a year with x27. Have had the x27 for maybe 6 years, would never go back to mauls. Couple years ago picked up the 8lb isocore, hardly ever use it.

Have the same saw and cut about the same amount each year. Have been real happy with the sugihara 20" bar with a stihl 3/8, 0.50 semi chisel.

Sounds like you are done with it by now. Agree with the bore cut method. I bore cut just about everything. Controlled way to do it. Learned from some chainsaw training I've had. Another good source is youtube "bc felling standard " many good videos with perfect technique.

20 inch sugi is greater. Balances well with 562xp.

Since I get lots of quality time to think while getting wood..... one time I figured it out. Cutting and splitting dead oak hauling it sometimes up to 100 feet in a sled, loading and then stacking in the shed 4 cords takes me a little over 40 hours. So a little less than a cord/day. Not sure if...

I got the isocore to go along with the x27 about a month ago. I agree with what svk says. The isocore is good for tough stuff but after splitting 4 cords of red oak I find myself with the x27 in hand more often than not. Also just got the counsel tool pickaroon. It's a back saver. Wish I would...

Well, I have put about a dozen tanks of gas through my new saw. 3/4 of the use was bucking oak 100 inch sticks and the rest was felling limbing and bucking oaks up to about 15 inches in diameter. It has run flawlessly. Impressed with the power and how light it is compared to my jred 2171...

Thanks for the info. This one was manufactured in 2016 and has the el48 carb so hopefully it won't need replacing. Was able to get the 4 year warranty by trading the bar that came with it for the 3 cans of premixed fuel and a 6 pack of 2 stroke oil. I brought in the sugihara bar. When cutting...

Barnes, in Bayfield County. Thanks! I have a 6 cord pile of oak ready to be bucked sitting in my yard.

Thanks to AS and all the members. I have been researching for half a year. Had a jonesred cs 2150 that did well cutting the 5 cords a year but was ready for an upgrade. Sold it to my brother. Also have a 2171 which is great for felling big stuff when doing some cutting for local loggers. A bit...

Can't wait to test it out!
