My uncles saw mill, my Dad and uncle used to use this quite a bit when I was a teenager, sure enjoyed working around it. A lot better than my “mill”

I saw the fiskars x25 and isocore at TSC. I'm going to pick up an isocore. Should I skip the x25 and wait for an x27 to complement it? I'm 5'9 and have read the x25 may work better for shorter people.

The X25 would probably be better suited for you (and a little cheaper). How much was the Isocore? Saw them at Walmart for $59.99.

Soundcloud is not. Soundcloud is a business. Soundcloud charges money. There used to be sites that you could just upload music to and listen to whatever you wanted. I'm not paying a website to upload music.

In that case .... soundcloud is not your friend. I think you know more about this stuff than me.

I know the feeling, when I go into the woods and pick a tree to cut, it never looks that big when it's standing, but when you have it cut up in lengths and left onto your shoulder do you realize how big and heavy it is. The worst part is to carry it all out to the road telling myself that I won't cut a tree as big next time but I never learn

I'm still working at splitting the rounds I hualed home last year. Some of them I wonder how I ever got them on the truck. All I can do to get them onto the splitter.

I did a side by side comparison of the 25 and 27 last fall. I was honestly surprised at how well the 25 performed as I was expecting it to fall short of the 27 and it did not. I can try to find the post.

At 5'9" you will probably find the 25 more useful. The 36" handle on the 27 is really long.

idk...I'll look into it more

 

[woodchip rookie]

Hackberry?

 

[Jakers]

I'm 5'9" and I wouldn't give up my 36" handle for shorter one. I like the long swing. If fiskars would come out with longer handle I'd even give that a go. That's just my opinion though

Hackberry?

Tackleberry.

I'm 5'6" and I like the 36" on my Isocore and x27.

 

[woodchip rookie]

Tackleberry.

Nah. If it was Tackleberry it would have shot me when I put the saw to it.

Same. The X27 handle is just about the same length of other common ax and maul handles. That's what I am used to and I can see no advantage to a shorter handle. I put off buying the x25 due to the short handle.

Agreed. I've thought many times of buying the x25 but every time I pick one up I put it back down because it just feels too short to me.
