I got a new-to-me Jonsered 2152 last week so I've been looking for a chance to see how it does. My first red saw. It looks good, even when dirty. This week the tenant has been evicted and moved out of the rental house that has the downed trees I've got permission to cut, so I loaded up and went over today to get a good close up look.
There are 2-3 different groups of trees down.
Some of the wood is really big, so the 2152 won't be doing all the work, but I started on the smaller stuff with it. It did really well. I'm glad to know I didn't buy something with hidden problems. God forbid I am ever limited to one saw, but for cutting firewood I could live with it being my only one.
The woodchuck I got for Christmas is going to be really handy, if only as extra insurance to keep my chain out of the dirt. Glad I got it.
There's quite a bit of rotten wood, but even at that there will be several loads of good solid firewood out of the total haul. And it's free, so I take the good with the bad to help get that "repeat customer."
Some of the stuff is too big for a 52cc saw to handle comfortably or efficiently, so I brought my 372xp. It only has a 20 inch bar, but it's interesting to see and hear the difference in performance 45 seconds after running a smaller saw.
I only had limited time, and I was afraid if I cut more than I could haul in my one load for the day, the rest might "disappear" before I could get back over there later this week. So I got a smaller load to start with. Next time I go I'll have two trucks and a trailer, and my younger brother to help.
It was a relaxing way to kill a little time in a Sunday afternoon.
