Yep, leaves turn pale yellow in the fall. Reds tend to be red or orange, at least bright yellow. Bark on trunk is shaggy and silvery white, bark on limbs is gray. Reds have reddish twigs, Funny, in the description of both trees, on Wiki, they are called Soft Maple, Swamp Maple. But these are Silvers.

Heres a lump of wood I cut up for a mate yesterday, it measured 1.4m across the butt. He only had a 460 Husky which would have taken forever to get the job done so I bought my 394 out to play, it had it cut up in no time.

Mulberry makes much better firewood then maple. I'd never complain about an abundance of mulberry.
Re: outside clutch - That is the prime reason all of my saws except a Husky top handle are Stihls.

I wouln't complain about an abundance of mulberry either, but it depends on what I'm doing. Silver dries fast, is light, splits easy, burns down to powder, and everybody has silvers in their yard being cut down. Get on CL, look for free wood, show up with saw, load truck, NOT have to clean up the mess.

I didn't even realize this issue till this post. I had to leave a bar in a tree ONCE. It was my poulan. Now that I know I cant leave a Husky bar in the tree I will be more careful and be sure to have a second saw and wedges with me. Oh wait. I always have more than one saw and wedges with me.
I left a bar in a felled (actually pushed down with an excavator) tree from my husky 365. Had to turn the saw and fish a bit but the power head came off. Normally I cut from the top down if I’m blocking for firewood, but I was cutting log length that time. The farmer rescued my bar with a large tractor with forks.
I used to keep a floor jack in the trunk or bed of all my vehicles. It's quicker than a factory jack if you have a flat on a busy hi way. Anyway, I've used the floor jack to unstick a couple saws over the years.

yep thats the fun of itPulled out a saw 2 weeks ago with the tractor and clamp on forks. It was going ok until a branch snapped and it ate the bar.
K041 bars are cheap, Walmart has bar/chain combo for 20 bucks so I’ll grab a backup.
I was thinking about picking up a 20” and making a skip loop out of 3/8 LP so I could run on my little saws if needed.

It’s my anniversary today. We went to town to grab groceries. Also picked up a Trilink bar and chain combo for the Dolmar for $17.99 less 20 percent discount.
If anyone else is near a L+M Supply, all Tri-Link bar, chain, and combos are 20 percent off this week. Heck of a deal as far as I’m concerbed.

How do you get the sticks out after you cut them up?
Scorchio scorchio, hot hot hot! Over 30C all week. There or there abouts since May! Much of the country has now had 54 consecutive dry days. Driest June on record, driest start to summer on record. 2 week forecast
... More of the same.
Crops failed, livestock farmers using winter feed.
On the plus side.... Dry wood stacks

Liberated the OE bar and got the big tree off the trail. Will save brush clearing for a cooler day once things dry out a bit.
I can’t say enough about the Tri-Link products.
