Our weather here in NE Ohio has been hot, hot, hot. Today my thermometer read 82 degrees. I couldn't think of anything better to do than to get my 346XP and my 455 Rancher loaded up and head to a twisted pile of locust given to me by a local farmer. I only cut about a 1/3 load because of the heat but really it was just a chance for me to get out and feed my craving for saws, trucks and cutting. Here are some pics of my day.
Quite a twisted pile. These were knocked down and bulldozed into a pile. Most of my wood is like this. I rarely, if ever, fell a tree.
This is my 455 Rancher with an 18 inch bar. Pretty good sized locust. Look closely and you can see this is the first crotch and the trunk gets real big past this point. I will save this for a cooler day!
Noodles! With my 346XP! The XP noodled pretty good. It cleared the noodles pretty easily. This has a .325 16 inch Oregon LP chain.
Take a bow! Loaded my score into the old Ford and pointed it in the direction of home. Nice looking wood. Almost too pretty to burn.
