Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[rarefish383]

Made right up the road from me Vince.
Ames True Temper specializes in the manufacture of non-powered lawn and garden products. Their manufacturing plant is located in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and produces 85% of the wheelbarrows in the United States and Canada producing 1.7 million wheelbarrows each year.

Wow, I didn't know that. We had an Ames in town back when I used to hustle pallets. I had a contract to haul all of there's away. When they shut the doors I thought they were gone, gone. Glad to hear they are still in business. I think my Plumb Ax display is an Ames, will check.

Steve, is this Arbor1 the real deal? Got a PM for being such an upright member of the "Scroungers Club"

Some wood types will do that easier than others. Still has to be a sharp one tho!!!

Old popple was the wood cut. Probly only 12-18 months left before it would be bonfire wood.

Wow what gauge and pitch ya running? You got one of those .080 harvester bars on there? That mac is near pristine.

I love that saw. Power to weight is incredible.

I been looking at getting a 10-10 for the heck of it but they go for alot on ebay. And there's like 20 generations of them, not sure what one would be best, each one is slightly different. Pics of the carb area shows alot of stuff going on with some black looking cables.

Being 5'4 I have the opposite problem. The legs usually hitting ground.

When you said 5'4", and something about Leg hitting ground, it made me think of one of my Dad's old expressions, but it was inappropriate, so I didn't say it.

Yep, old Ames ax rack.

Just mocked up what a 36" bar would look like on my big saws. Do I need one probly not but do I want one... heck yeah! I couldn't stop laughing after the mock up. So does that mean I can scrounge 33% more firewood compared to a 24" bar

Here's a 52" on a 1956 Homelite 7-29. Keep feeding and watering your 36" and it will grow.

Not sure if you would have your best friend or your worst enemy holding the bar end of the saw

You'll be at least 33% more tired from humping that thing around! The only thing I use my 36" bar for is shown in my user icon to the left!

I'm the real deal. Site Admin. Just changed my name after starting so I could have a "screen name" too.

thot some of you might like to see some mountain views of my tall pines... just a bit below the snow line and in cool crisp blue mountain air. some Sunday morning pix at BL's mountain camp siteView attachment 957052View attachment 957053View attachment 957055View attachment 957054

Where are the mountain views??? I see sky views.

 

[Brufab]

So arbor 1 is scrounging firewood like the rest of us? I'm so confused

That's what I was thinking too. You'd have to rest 33% more so any increase in production would be a wash!

Oh yeah, just like I can move firewood twice as fast with 2 wheelbarrows!
