I split by hand an use a plastic trash can. Drop a round inside that's the right height and you will more than double your output.I usually load rounds into the truck and split as they come off.

I met a guy that does this in Maine. He would pull the whole thing around on a trailer and set it up on site. He had a sea container plumbed with pex. He would cut and split the wood, then palletize and place in the container with a forklift. Then dry the wood by burning the slash he created in...

I try to split in the woods on the ground, for to leave anything unsplittable before I have invested any more effort. Failing that, and more likely, I will load rounds into my pick-up and split them as they come off. Anything really big would get halved or quartered before getting loaded.I have...

Wow, I just got the Summer master and it does not have any Huskies offered for sale. Hmmmm. However You can still get a Wild Thing for 149.99!

Yah- maybe plenty of the info in a book called "the ultimate guide" isn't correct but no one should say anything about it because the authors really really tried. Let me guess, it might hurt their self esteem? If they tried at all they could have easily found the correct information Not to...

One of the "complaints" about ford is the very fact that they use so many different set ups, so many different engines etc. Whatever, I can't afford a new truck anyway. I like the old trucks because one can work on them, although the flip side is that you have to work on them. The service...

Chowdozer- I have had three of my kids with me in my 82 Chevy. I put in extra seat belts. One day we got pulled over by a cop who thought he had bagged me for have too many people and he was a bit suprised. Have had the same experience with fixing and working on mine and friends trucks. There...

I am not trying to start a problem [i.e. which is better (that is already clear)] but I have begun to notice around me that people who use Stihl saws also usually drive Ford trucks, and that Husky people drive Chevy. I am just wondering is this an anomaly from my small sample or is there...

Nice work, good luck and keep us posted

wow a service manual! I just started having a oiling issue in my 254xp and this might be just the ticket. Thanks for posting this Sawtroll.

I think that my stove drafts the same way. It also runs better if there are less ashes. For that reason I clean it often.This weekend it is supposed to get close to 50 degrees so maybe I will head up on the roof and give a look down the pipe. I have been suspecting a blockage of some kind...

Well I have been corrected it has secondary burn pipes. My stove looks just like yours only smaller. The blower is great. except for overnight I usually burn wide open, especially now that the heat production seems to be down. I have even had to leave the door just latched to get air in. I...

ya good point bigair maybe it is not a cat, in my mind I thought it was but the secondary thing might be more like it.I'll have to track down the manual (read:ask my wife to find it) However my problem still stands. It seems like a cold blooded stove. As Shipper50 says, it doesn't seem that hot...

I bought it for the same reason, hoping to pick up a few tips, see how others solve my problems etc. The book is pretty light on info but readable. The son is pretty impressed with himself , and his self-conscious ramblings and pictures marred the book and made me feel like I had picked up a...

Has anybody else have problems with their catalytic stoves vis, lowering heat output? I swear that the amount of heat coming out of the stove is less than other years. The stove is a Lopi Revere insert. I am wondering if there is a way that the airflow is eventually choked by some sort of...

I use an old Husky 254xp with the muffler modded Brand new 2171 that hasn't even finished opening up yet ;) old Jonsy 710 (?) which I would love to mod by removing about 15 pounds of metal to get it down to 25 pounds Jonsy 2152 that was woods modded by Dozer Dan, so you tell me what...

I bet it would to, and if you are looking to contribute to my " Get a grinder" fund I will pm you my address.

I have used the Granberg jig and use it every few hand filings. I feel like the biggest benefit to the system is that it will help make all the teeth the same size and thus height. Just like other kinds of saws, the tallest teeth are doing all the work and anything shorter is just gliding...

Saw Troll- High Idle Lock? is that how you are supposed to start it? For the kind of cutting I do ( in smaller hardwood) I can't imagine wanting to lock it on while running it so I figured it must have something to do with starting it. I have to admit that since I acquired a new 2171 this beast...

Thanks so much guys, I knew I could get an answer here. Once I had some info to start with I found a document that has drawings of many bar tails and as noted, it is the oregon D024 mount, which is 10mm.Thanks woodfarmer- but the current bar is about that big. After going on Mike Acres site I...
