In Saskatchewan bears are a major predator of moose calves. Wolves take moose of all sizes but there are may more bears. Bears are also more persistent search more.They often eat lots of Cherrys and berries, but if you look at the study done by (I think) Univ of Penn they were shocked how many more deer were taken by bear than by coyote. The bears are especially skilled at getting the young ones, but I've seen evidence of full-size deer killed by bear, coyote and bobcat (the cat dropped on the deer's back in deep snow).
Bears are opportunists, they eat anything they can catch, including any deer that is caught off guard (bedded and looking the wrong way).
Thatās what some say.Hey, I heard those 400s were pretty good.
uh, when youāre doing 20 chains in a row and have carpal tunnel and a bad Ulnar nerve that raker grinder is a sleep saverā¦donāt need drugs to sleepWhy would you want a "raker grinder"? Why would anyone want a "raker grinder"?
Flat file + a couple light strokes at a slight angle = job done "IMOP"! (it means IN MY OPINION PERIOD!!!)
Cut safe, stay sharp, and be aware!
Anytime glad you were able to give it a test drive. I'll bring it along for the next firewood cut to help break up the blocks. I've always liked mine so hopefully yours continues to work well.Got my Xmas X27 gift early, will need it for this big oak blow down I have on the calendar for Dec 17th as long as the weather is below freezing. The trail to pack out the wood is all clay and if it starts to melt it will be a friggin sticky mud slinging mess. Thanks to @Vtrombly for letting me try his last weekendView attachment 1038654
Now that we were talking about it and talking with your Dad I think I'm going to look for a pair of safety boots for my little guy too. I would feel awful if something happened to his feet as well.Ive been applying but no bites yet just applied to a plumbing job today View attachment 1038704

20 chains in a row? All needing the rakers dropped? All I can assume is either your tuning chains fir others as a business, or you go through a lot of loops yourself and let a pile build up. Then freshen them up all at once! I've never seen any one professional Cutter use a raker grinder in 25+years. Do you do 20 in a row on a regular basis?uh, when youāre doing 20 chains in a row and have carpal tunnel and a bad Ulnar nerve that raker grinder is a sleep saverā¦donāt need drugs to sleep
I just discovered this after getting the new Ore grinder.
kinda like finding the Trim-it years ago for brassā¦literally a life saver for me. Does all three in one passā¦length, chamfer and bevel. Try doing 1000 223s without it
Will that fit on the 180 from earlier?View attachment 1038665
KK I think you need a longer bench.
1/3 the time? I'd like to see that! Can you post a video?Thatās it??
my Dozer Dan 16ā 346 would go through that in a third the time, lol
Scared hell out of a city worker who tried it one night clearing a blow-down down the street from me,
he went back to his Echo
He's trying to save gas money..... He can stay home and cut in all 4 surrounding counties!!View attachment 1038665

What 180 do you speak of?Will that fit on the 180 from earlier?
Tree serviceā¦mostly hit nails, etc, some rockedā¦20 chains in a row? All needing the rakers dropped?

Ahhhhh. Ok that makes sense,. Good on ya!Tree serviceā¦mostly hit nails, etc, some rockedā¦
retiredā¦I do their maintenance for the enjoyment. So far have learned how to fix a bunch of different saws, blowers and pole saws that Iād never worked on. Heās given me a bunch of trashed saws that Iāve rebuilt and either kept to add to my collection or sold. Boss asked if I did sharpening as he has a huge rack of dull chains. Ordered the Ore grinderā¦will be paid off shortly, lol.
not regular basisā¦when I have time Iāll sharpen a dozen or so then once I get a big bunch, change to the raker stone and do them all together.
last batch I got back to him was 29.
oh, he also gave me 2 diamond wheels for this same grinder .
so, I kinda owe himā¦
Might take some time. The saw is like a built 266 on steroids. Dan told me I could run it to 18k but I think he was joking. He sent me a vid of him ripping a round, at that speed, lol1/3 the time? I'd like to see that! Can you post a video?
Post in thread 'Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)'What 180 do you speak of?
Oh heck no! Nor dose it fit the 170 in the photo.I just have that mocked up fir the photo as a joke. If that bar mounted to a 170 with a properly tensioned chain? I seriously doubt it could even spin it, but if it could? The head would struggle horribly and probably sound like a dying bull frog! 185 .63g drive links. 3/8Post in thread 'Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)'

My son and I went up and burned our piles yesterday, as planned. We also brought down oak, but forgot pictures. I usually forget, doh! We brought down two Christmas trees too.
I didnāt have it covered, Iām glad I didnāt. The moisture really kept it under control, we really had to work at it to get it to spread.

It took 2-1/2 hours to get to this point, if we burn in May itāll only take 20 minutes. And thatāll be with spraying water on it the whole time, itās much more worrisome that way. Everything was way too wet this time, thatās a good thing.

need to dig up some old picsHere's my other 2 bikes:
The race bike:
The "enduro" bike, it'll go down any trail I can take a dirtbike down:
And one more of the enduro bike, because I figure you guys could appreciate the size of this Juniper:
