What did you do with your chainsaw today ?

[rarefish383]

As far as my saw? I decided I was going to sell off a few on one shelf. The first one was a Stihl 08S my friend pulled out of a dumpster several years ago. Long story short, the reason it wouldn't run, the fuel line from the tank to the carb was missing. It started and ran on a prime for about 10 seconds. It revved and sounded so good, now I don't want to sell it.

Set off the metal detector at the airport. I have a chainsaw belt buckle.

Not mine, but test and tune.

I didn't do it all today, its a work in progress. Firewood for 2021/2022. Not my property, I guess my neighbor wants a better view at the deer.

I cut up a hemlock that fell this winter due to wind and some damage from some sort of injury in years gone by. It would have made some boards but really no way to get to it. The idea is to burn these without splitting. Top loading stove with perhaps 6"x14" opening. This is with 1/4 inch pitch Stihl 13rm and a 9 tooth rim sprocket. Have to be real careful with these catalyst mufflers adjusting the chain or sharpening it. The finger is way out of focus.

I love my Makita EA3200 which is the same saw as the Dolmar PS-32, I'm sure the slightly bigger and more powerful metal body cousin is a nice saw to have and use.

I figured out a new way to deal with brush. Made a 10 foot carriage 38" wide out of osb and 2x4s. There's a 3" slot every 2 foot. I just stack all the limbs and crap in there and cut across with my 42" bar. It actually worked really well for me. We only burn wood in our fire pit, so I can just grab it out of the carriage by the arm full and toss it on the fire.

That's some creative solutions. If I have it near my property I use an electric grinder and use it as a filler together with soil where I want to build up or even the lawn etc.
Normally when clearing vegetation it is just left in piles on suitable places to rot, lots of those piles everywhere around here. It's nice to get rid of it though, even better use it for something.

I spent most of the day trying to find the garage floor the workbench and the sicar 5 in one.
I had to cut some wood it is like that time of yr. I get 2 loads of logs. But that ain’t happening with the new split zone heat pumps.
Loaded up the Infinity Gx 35 with what I needed and went to the lower forty.
This is widow maker heaven down their.
Had to try out the husky 65 and the craftsman 3800.
Pretty impressed with both the husky likes to dig in the middle to higher rpm without bogging down.
The craftsman likes to just rip at higher rpms but too much pressure she will drop off.

Too damn hot today. 3 weeks of pushing 90* is not supposed to happen in a Canada.

Starts easy, hot restarts one pull. Light enough for me, revs quick. Pulls well for 50cc saw. I like it and would purchase again. Enjoy your saw. Running mine with 18" x-force bar and new x-cut chain.

Well if you unboxed it I guess thats what you did with your chainsaw today, or tomorrow or in a few days perhaps...
