There are only 2 things you need to learn about cutting firewood. Cut it fast and burn it slow. Have your saws ready have your truck ready. I have done this for forty years and getting to the woods and everything breaks down is not good. I know ! I bought a Drolet in 2015 I burn almost half the wood I use too. I just bought a 550 Husqvarna I only made about 2 cuts with it. One word for the machine wicked fast.
