I think the first one is an ash— from the opposite arrangement of the branches visible in the background. Possibly black ash.

Second one is persimmon.

The green twig, flower, and citrus like smell say sassafras.

Those are my 2 favorite husqvarna models. I use them both regularly and interchangeably. After using the 288 for a while, when I pick up the 372, I think “man, this thing is light and nimble and handles like a dream.” Then after using the 372 for a while, the power and grunt of the 288 is...

Good deal here. Awesome saw. GLWS.

It sounds like you have a fairly reasonable plan. The unthinned stand will need to be thinned or their growth will stagnate. Planted loblolly pines are often thinned by the row, removing every other or even every third row. Some operators will thin to a specific basal area recommended by a...

The value of your trees depends on lots of factors such as total volume, accessibility, difficulty of logging, distance to market, but probably the most important factor is the market itself. Contact local mills and find out how much they're paying and for what size logs. There are other...

Ironwood ie. Eastern hophornbeam maybe.

Sure. Would you like a new truck to haul it around in too? :laughing:

Congratulations. Good choice. The 661 is a great saw. I like them a lot... and I'm a husqvarna guy.

Thanks for the input, fellas. I'm thinking about going with a bar in the 50-56" range. I do run 3/8 pitch. Looking around online, I've found cannon super bars and Forester brand bars in that length. Does anyone have any experience with the Forester bars? I'm a believer in the adage...

Mine wears a 32" which serves me well for most of the milling I do. It also works well for felling and bucking larger stuff. Over the last couple of years, I've had a few chances at some logs up to 50", but have passed them up, because I wasn't equipped, or simply didn't have time to tackle...

Yep, looks Chinese.

Looks like black cherry.

Never heard it called moose maple, probably because we don't have moose around here. It's striped maple, Acer pennsylvanicum which, according to pioneerguy, is called moose maple farther north.

I really like my 361. And I'm a Husqy guy.

I've got a pre-xtorq 372 that is probably my favorite saw of all time. Great balance, power, and throttle response. I've also been running an xtorq lately and like it a lot as well. It seems to me that it may have a little more torque, especially on the low end than the non xtorq. I had an...

By girdling the tree, you are cutting through the phloem or inner bark which is the tissue that carries carbohydrates from the leaves down the tree to the roots. And while there are many variables at play such as tree species, size, age, health, time of year, as well as environmental...

Black locust

Thanks guys.
