Look, guys, I started this by saying how proud I was in cutting down a 75' tall Ash with my little Echo chainsaw. Maybe it worked so well because it was brand new. Maybe because it was just a good chain:newbie: saw. I only expect to cut down one more big tree next year so I don't need a powerful...

I may have left out a better explanation about the firewood statement. On my 1.4 acres I have only about 3 dozen trees. The 75' Ash was the tallest. It was my only Ash. I have no Oak or any other hardwood. What I have is mostly ornamental and no good for firewood. Ironsides

I only have 1.4 acres and not a single Oak around. If the Ash wasn't dying I wouldn't have cut it down. I don't mind buying my firewood. Ironsides

On the photo pages I posted a few pictures of a 75' Ash that I had cut down last year with a little Echo chainsaw. This saw was new when I first used it on this tree and in my humble opinion the Echo was worth it's weight in gold. Some specs of interest. The model # is CS-440 it has a 45 cc...

Thank uou, Pat. I love the little Echo, it is the first chainsaw I ever owned that always started on the first pull. The problem with the notch was the second tree (actually a huge fork) was so close it blocked my access to one side of the notch. The 20" in saw wasn't long enough to cut a...

Actually I was just thinking about the second part of that tree that was still standing. That has to come down next year. I hope no one asks how long it took to clean up the mess. That tree embedded branches in the ground everywhere it landed. Ironsides:chainsawguy:

It may have been less than 5-inches, but the tree also had a natural lean that kept it from tipping back. Ironsides

OK, so I am well past 65. But you've got to start sometime. Well, I got me a nice little 20" Echo chainsaw. And the 75' tall Ash had to come down. I amazed myself that I dropped it right where I wanted it and it didn't touch any other tree. Here's the funny part. I cut the forward notch and then...

All I get is "Sorry no matches." when clicking that link. Ironsides

I have not read of anyone using the Iron and Oak brand log splitter. The manufacturer is in Illinois and I found this company in New York that sells several different sizes. Their web site is: http://www.toolfetch.com/Category/Log_Splitters/22_Ton/bhvh2202.htm This particular model is...

I read once of a type of steel girder material called Core-10. It formed a layer of rust that actually protected the rest of the metal. That splitter you have looks like it would last 100 years in any weather. What does it weigh - about 3000 lbs? Ironsides

Everyone seems to agree that storing outside is OK if the machine is covered. Wonder what your opinion would be of all those major stores Tractor Supply, Lowes and Home Depot storing the unsold machines outside with no cover? Some of these "New" machines looked like they were old and used and...

re: Where do you store your equipment. Scalo, Do you ever have a problem with condensation? Heavy rain and/or snow cause dampness that can rust out machinery. Do you have this problem, at all? Ironsides

Hi, I live in Kentucky and I am interested in finding information about log splitters. I read through several pages of comments in this site on all the brands I was looking at: Huskee, Troy Bilt, etc. I happen to be within driving distance to Tractor Supply, Lowes and Home Depot and have seen...
