I'd leave both at home and take this to the woods.

That's a 1983 500XC. Half a liter of two stroke fury. It looks vaguely familiar... :D
 
Can't believe how cheap this 461 was selling for on Craigslist. It was posted at $675 last month then dropped to $399 yesterday. I wish I would've jumped on it quicker. Someone got a deal. It sold yesterday. I just hope it wasn't hot.
 
I was looking at a new 461 today at the local shop. $965.
Now add in sales tax. You are over $1,000. Now add in a decent bar and a spare chain. You can easily get to $1,100. Of course, you have to start it with gasoline, fuel mix, bar oil, and a scrench. A case might also be nice. Then there is the extended warranty. So, plan to shell out $1,200 before you cut your first log.

Twenty loads of firewood later that you might sell may allow you to break even, provided that someone gave you the log splitter and paid for all the gasoline.
