I have an MS261 that I would be up for trading. All OEM except the piston. PM me for more details if you're interested.

He's back!

My pics from 3/7 last year. (Page 726, for any of you who wondered - we've filled 279 pages in 10 months!)

It's coming soon... !!

Agreed with above. You didn't take his commission from him and give it to another salesman. He threw the commission away by not following up. If you hadn't given him your contact info, I might change my opinion a little bit, but not much.

Sounds like he's got potential. Maybe just give him more 'work', and he won't have time to cause mischief?

That's a stud of a bull for sure. Pure Belted Galoway?

I keep a 30 gallon barrel in the basement, and keep it stocked with noodles. Next to that is a pile of newspapers. Next to that is a crate full of 'splitter turds' and dimensional lumber scraps. A handful of noodles, a couple pieces of wadded up newspaper, a few splitter turds, and a match. Off...

Happy 1001 pages! I didn't get pics, but went out and dropped 3 beetle-killed ash trees with my cousin on Saturday. We both got good (1/2 cord +) pickup loads out of them, with as much left on the ground to finish bucking and splitting next weekend. Yesterday, I re-loaded the basement and got...

Short answer - no. For me, gloves are a consumable. I have been using these when it's cold: https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-GUARD-Weather-Glove-Orange/dp/B00OI2C0X6/ref=pd_lpo_469_lp_t_3?_encoding=UTF8&refRID=3DKF1N9SXNRP7SDXV3JY&th=1 And these when it's warmer...

Yeah, was 4 degrees and windy on Monday. I had to go out to the chicken pen and reach bare-handed into their bucket to re-situate the deicer. The walk back to the house HURT. Then it was 50 degrees yesterday, and rained buckets. Now we're back to 30, but sunny and no wind. I wish ma nature would...

I fear no tree that I can cut, and I'm always looking for an excuse to get a 32" bar for the 2188... That being said, 16-20" seems to be nice to work with. I get 4-6 splits per round, and don't have to cut both sides, so I'm more productive, and the truck fills up quickly. As far as managing...

Yeah, I had cut my notch, then bored, leaving a trigger, but the tree was a little too small to get a wedge in. My mistake happened at that point - I should have gone to the other side of the tree one more time, and double checked that my hinge was uniform in thickness, since I wasn't trying to...

Unfortunately, I burned the butt already, but may be able to get a stump pic this weekend. The tree did have a lean (15 degrees maybe), so I cut a fairly shallow notch, but I didn't line up my bore cut properly, leaving too much holding wood on one side. I stopped and took a good long hard look...

Keep your eyes and ears open, and your wits about you. I cut a standing, not-quite-dead ash a couple of weekends ago, and even though I bore cut it, it started to chair (I left too thick of a hinge). I saw and heard it start, and was able to get a wedge in, to help stabilize things just a bit...

My grandfather and great-grandfather (his FIL) bought a property and built an A-frame cabin on it. They got 100% of the lumber by tearing down an old barn about 40 miles away, and hauling it all up the mountain (both were truck drivers, and had access to bigger flatbeds). They named the camp The...

There are whole companies that specialize in just this: https://www.barnwoodliving.com/ Believe it or not, there's money in old barnwood...

My favorite wood for sure. Nothing better than stuffing the furnace at 10:00 before I go to bed on a cold windy night, and waking up at 6 AM to the house being the same temperature and still having 6" of coals and un burnt wood. My grandfather cultivated 2 locust patches for fence posts when...

Yep. I had a few big (24") rounds behind the house, and when my brother picked up his MS261 on Christmas, I had him cut a 1/2 cookie just to get a feel for the saw. He said the chain must be dull, and that my log was awful green. I laughed and explained that he was looking at the best firewood...
