Hello all! I have been reading this board for several days and had some general questions for all of you. I have a wood fireplace in the house that I rent and have gotten some good firewood and have learned how to get it going. It is great fun and I like feeling of a warm fire. (Dogs love it too!) My grandpa has about 30 acres of a fairly old woods with lots of good woods and I would like to learn how to split for exercise and free wood!
I would like some advice on what would be a good value for a basic chainsaw and maul. Anything else that I need? I have looked at the Iltis Oxhead and Gansfors maul and they seem like great quality but are expensive. Is this about the going rate for a high quality maul? Are these good choices? I would like a maul that will last for years and years and I am not scared to pay the price, I just wanted to see if they were good values compared to other choices.
Also curious about a good value in chainsaws. Seems stihl is popular on here, any suggestions for a good starter saw. Anyother gear I need? wedges? sledge? Thanks.
Regards,
Matt
