Cleaned up the two main logs remaining from this Spring's tornado. I've been on the road a lot again for work. It's been a cool spell so I figured this was the weekend. I had cut the 30ish inch trunk into 18" segments and figured I'd roll them with good ole muscle power. Turns out some of the segments weren't cut all the way through. I got out my 2260 and made quick work of a couple of them. Too quick. Stuck the tip in the dirt. Put on fresh chain, and did the same thing again. No longer have a tractor, so I muscled a couple to the perimeter of the fire circle. I figured I could lift some of them onto the burning pile. Way too heavy. So instead of taking the time to sharpen a couple of chains, I went up and grabbed the first saw I came to that had a bar mounted. MM 346xp 3/8 7pin. with a 16" bar. I had my doubts, but figured I'd find out if the thing really was a stout as everyone says they are. Had the thing buried bucking several segments of oak. Noodled a couple of segments that were 18" across so once again buried. Finished up the oak and went over to the cherry trunk that was about 18" in diameter. It performed flawlessly. I am amazed at the saw. Of course If I had been a little more careful with the 2260 I would have never attempted the chore with the 346. I am now also a believer.
