Almost splitting season again here... will be getting out my X27 for its third year, and my other Fiskar for its 5th or 6th season... I see nothing wrong the quality of a Fiskars.

Havent posted in a while. I drove up to my cabin on Saturday, for something to do. Decided to get a bit of wood while I was there (I dont heat my home with wood, purely for enjoyment). I saw a hooter while I was there.

Had time to do a little splitting on Saturday (when I wasnt mowing/trimming). The sun was out so the bugs died down a bit. Ive been splitting by hand this year, but Im thinking I might stock up the sugar shack.. So im going to get the woodsplitter from my uncle.. its been in his garage...

Thanks! I trimmed for about 4 hours on Saturday. Was pretty impressed with the power. There was a few saplings it wouldnt take down, but Im thinking if I put on some thicker square line it might just get through them. Overall Im pretty happy with it, and with the shoulder strap on its almost...

I only got my first chain saw 3 years ago, and started maintaining my families properties around then. So far, I have not had to cut down a single tree. All the tress I cut up are already down, if they are rotten I just leave em where they are. I dont see my self having to cut down a tree for...

Yup, it is. 94 is a solid shaft, not a flex shaft. It can runs blades.

I picked one up yesterday. Only trimmed around my house so far, but Im liking it. The throttle control is pretty neat, and the power is there if you need it and have it dialed back(just squeeze harder). Plan on cutting an acre or two of grass/weeds/brush this weekend to really test it out...

No pics of splitting this weekend, mostly just clearing brush. I split one atv trailer full of wood and put it beside my cabin. I was trimming around my pond and the walk behind trimmer I was using shook itself apart. Im thinking Ill go pick up a Stihl FS94 R brush cutter tomorrow... two...

Nice. Makes me want to invest in more equipment. Maybe Ill start making syrup again, then Id need more wood, thus requiring more equipment :)

Didnt take too many pics this weekend. I was mostly cutting deadfall around the pond, as opposed to cutting for firewood. Pond is finally clear though. Got 2 loads of firewood, probably wont split it till the fall as the bugs are just brutal now. Next weekend Ill probably have to start mowing.

Been up at my cabin the last 3 weekends, had to burn every night. Last Friday it went down to -1 C. Hopefully wont have to this weekend, supposed to stay aroun 8 C during the night.

I usually have to pay extra for that.

Thats the best kind of snow to eat.

Yup, its one of the cheaper beers up here (beer is ridiculously expensive compared to in the States) so I drink it sometimes.

Got all that I had collected split and stacked, then started cutting a maple that fell last year. Hopefully the weather holds and I can go to my other property and start clearing some logs there next weekend. Had a few beers after: And this is what Im heating:

MS170, they are cheap as **** now too... ive been cutting down a lot of bushes lately and it would be perfect.

Got a bit more wood split, ended up helping my neighbours though.. so didnt get that much done. Plus, I started drinking halfway through the day, and the work just stopped:

I was finally able to drive in to my property this weekend: This is all that was left after deer season last year: So I started spltting some stuff that was already cut: I got a big maple and something else ? bucked.. I still gotta bring it outta the woods and split it. Then maybe see...
