Hi came across this site after long hours of searching on the net and just figure its easier asking the pros. My summer work this year is still up in the air as of employment since the companies production has slowed down. I figured i have enough wood from a fallen oak that is at least 4' in diameter and dead standing etc. I am going to sell it for extra cash for college. My question is what will i need for a set up?
I had in mind a bigger saw; my homeowner saw with a 16inch bar is not cutting it, more efficient maul and axe, splitting wedge,felling wedges etc.
Saw would be in the 70cc class since i can make it small or big (ms441 or 372xp leaning to the 441 since seems more dealers in my area and my dad used stihls in the past with my uncle logging so he "suggested" i buy them. but my lil husky has done well.) I DONT have in my area it seems the dolmars and those kind of dealers close by so its husqvarna or stihl.
was looking at a fiskars x27. (i am 6ft so size is not an issue)
what kind of splitting wedges would you suggest and any way to get through the tougher stuff by hand splitting?
much help would be appreciated. Stu
