I’ve owned an MS361 and the 562XP, and now I own the Echo 590 and like it just as well or better. 562 had hot restart issues, 361 seems to have zero torque, the 590 has a nice power and weight, starts easy, and is a ridiculous deal at $400 new

I've sold a few pickup truck loads this year as I had some spare, $80 for a slightly heaped 6.5ft fullsize pickup bed. I've also sold to guys just wanting some for camping, $20 for one stacked row across the back of the pickup, that's MUCH better than $6 for one of those bundles. For a...

It definitely split easier when dry, for me. Don't wait too long as it rots easily, even when up off the ground.

My wood pile is 40yds from the deck where i have a rack that holds 1/3 of a cord. I never really measured how many wheelbarrow loads it takes to fill the rack, guessing 10. Worst part is getting the wood from the wheelbarrow up the stairs, just no good way to do it yet, so usually just try to...

Sweet Gum, never again. I cut two 23" DBH trees in my yard, splitting is a nightmare as I split by hand. Take a nice looking 14" round with no knots, and I'd still have to drive two wedges 3/4 of the way through it, flip it over and hit it with maul to fully split it. Amazing stuff. I...

I prefer to split to noodling, personally, if the wood is of a type that will actually split without having to beat it 100x. Some stuff like sweet gum, better off just noodling it. That said, I have a couple generic traditional wedges, and I have the Estwing. All I can say is the Estwing is...

I've been splitting a lot lately, have an X27, a 6lb generic maul, and an 8lb Isocore. If I could have just one, it'd be the Isocore as it's the most effective. I waste more energy swinging the X27 multiple times in tougher rounds than swinging the Isocore once. No doubt though, if it's...

Got to exercise the new Cs590 and 372xp last night, hard maple is nasty if you get into knots or the stump flare so did some noodling, but very easy once into the straight grain pieces

Chatted with a tree service that cut down a big pine for me this month and they said they can drop logs when they’re in the area. Standing dead maple should work out nice and can’t beat having it dropped at my door

As stated by others, I get it from one handing large splits. The action of “palming” the splits gets the tendons on the outside of my forearm. I split pieces smaller partly to remedy this, and use a pickeroon she I can, both help greatly

I bought a 500 Oslo in November this year, it’s been a great stove to this point. Your cost is in line with what I paid all in. We didn’t need a deflector for our mantle, could try it and keep an eye on temps and install as needed. My house is 1900sqft, can maintain 68* in house overnight...

Fairly new to wood burning so I've learned a bit recently. I had 5 large red oaks to clean up, yard trees a buddy had cut down, three were 28" DBH. With this much work to do, splitting by hand, I was leaving fairly large splits, easily 6". I found when I got my woodstove in early November...

Didn’t realize this thread is still going. I gave up and just noodeled it, I could pound two wedges completely through a 12” round and I’d still have to flip it over and carefully hit it with the maul to split it and get the wedges out, amazing stuff. It’s burning ok but goes quick, fairly...

Thanks, appreciate the info

Discovered a couple bars in the garage that I got awhile back, finally got around to cleaning them up and getting numbers off them. Both are 20" One is a sprocket nose replaceable nose which is stamped: 215211 S2 21 SSW-50 72 X 3-8 Made in Canada Other is a laminated sprocket nose bar: 8921...

Selling a Stihl 042, saw would start and run for a few seconds before torn down. Had good compression, piston in good shape, flash makes it look worse than it is. Have carb kit, new oil line, new fuel and impulse line included. Plastics are in great shape, not faded. Recoil works fine. Tore...

Yep, I actually do a lot with a smoker as well so that's what made this one so attractive. I was going to keep all the limbs for myself and split the trunk, but now thinking on what you said I will try bundling and throw it on Craigslist to see if I can make a little beer money.

Buddy sent these pics, is this black cherry? Not that large a tree, but very simple to get to so I'd be interested.

Tree has the spiky seed balls and five pointed leaves same as what I've seen online for a Sweet Gum...

Best i can do for bark pic right now
