This red oak has been down for a few years and is at the bottom of our property and on the other side of railroad tracks. Not easy to get to and requires carrying arm loads across the track to the bucket on the tractor. Well, now that I've got this new MS460 I just had to go down and have at it. Put the dual-port muffler on it Friday night and wanted to try her out.
Anyway, the new Stihl made short work of the stuff. It was a bit off the ground and maybe 1" at most was punky.
Had a couple helpers with me as usual!
Too big to carry move whole, I split it in situ. That's a 25" bar on the 460.
Start chipping at the edges and this stuff knocks apart like a dream!
There's a beaver in the river down here and he's be girdling a bunch of large oaks this winter. Looks like I'll be in firewood for a while!
Any other weekend warriors get out in the woods this weekend?
