You're supposed to eat those after you put them in the stove.

The Walnut I saved from becoming a dam. Father in law and I drug it off the sand bar and up the bank with his ATV.
Finished the day rigging a Hickory back to another tree at the base to keep the butt up on the bank before dropping it over the bank, then hooked the winch to it from his Jeep and pulled it up. Rigging classes paid off in the woods of all places.

I have a very busy week but am going to make a trip to the woods to do some cutting, even it its just making cookies. Have the new bar and 3/8 lo pro chain on my Johnny 36 (converted from 1/4 pitch chain) as well as the Mac D-44 which I havent had a chance to run yet since @old guy gave it to me around Christmas time.

I mowed yesterday. Today I went and cut up two dead pines entirely with a little Echo CS-271T except for the spars when they got over 9" diameter. Had to switch to the MS-261C-MQ for maybe a dozen cuts.
Little saw went through 4 tanks of gas/bar oil and only shut off during refills and a couple times when I stopped for a cup of coffee. I need refueling, too, you know.
This is a great little saw. Tomorrow, I'm giving the little Stihl MS-150TC a workout.

The old green saws look so much better than the new "dog pee in the snow" yellow ones.

I have always heard good things about the Countervibe series. I'm guessing that one is going to have some grunt for bucking. Be sure to report back after you try it out.
Must be a nice powerful saw, but the big difference between then and now is about twice the RPMs.
yes not today's RPM's for sure. gobs of torque though. dissecting a buddy's 044 now that he just bought. had a broken brake band and i don't think it was ever cleaned since the first tank of fuel.gonna be a learning experience for me.

Slow and strong is just fine if you are not in high production mode, might cost you an extra 15 minutes by the end of the day. 16 pounds isn't bad for a 85cc work horse that looks to fit nicely in your line up. It is not a rose bush trimmer. LOL
it won't see to much use but there's always that big log that pops up. maybe the lilac bush though.
Yes they rev slower but they don't slow down nearly as much either in the cut.
When my L65 was healthy it would cut pretty competitively with most of the newer higher revving saws of similar rating.

Made some wood with the backup saws today. Both performed admirably.
