    Kansas "baby" tree's

    So if you big boys back east think you're the only ones with "real hardwood" I've got the score to prove you all wrong. Cut 4 pickup loads (probably 3 cords or so) in under an hour with 1 saw. Hedge tree's only grow so big they told me.... yeah, right. My pics are of a Stihl 441 sporting a 32"...

    Brands of Chain

    So all I've ever used is Stihl brand chain. I've never, ever, ever EVER used anything else... BUT! my buddy just bought some carlton brand full chisel chain (same as i run) and that stuff seems just as good as the Stihl except it stretches during the first tank of fuel. So the question begs...

    Sharpening Chains

    I'm sure this has been beat in the ground but i can't find it. So i went to harbor frieght and bought the el cheapo chainsaw grinder on sale for my birthday. I've never sharpened a chain with one as a 66 year old friend of mine always did it and he managed to have a heart attack the day before...

    Ideas on why people won't buy ash/hackberry firewood?

    I've been selling the heck out of oak and my supply is getting somewhat low. I've been trying to tell people that my ash/hackberry combination would be just as good for "fireplace" wood as you don't need to worry about the heat value anyway. I'm selling to some "high end homes" and I understand...

    How do you guys make people happy by the cord?

    So this was beat to death that "ricks aren't acutal measurements" ... Some people have requested a CORD of oak wood from me which is fine, but they want it cut 18-20 inches. I asked a couple old times and they said "if they request it shorter than 24" they are still only getting 2 4x8 stacks"...

    A buddy and I have been making our own loops for awhile now. We bought some bulk chain at an auction (stihl dealer went out) and have now run out and need more. Most interested in 3/8 .063 FULL chisel. I'd be willing to buy a 100' box no problem. Shoot me a PM or post on what it should cost and...
