Crazy, got another row done in the woodshed today, almost done with that pile of locust. Gonna start pulling from the big pile in the front to finish this side and to get all the wood from around the big elm in the pile, then I'll split some of the big red oak/locust pile in the back yard.
Saw a couple bicyclist riding by this week/weekend, the guys who like a challenge come up the hill out of the river valley, the lightweights stay on the flats in the river bottom
. Just keep after them, most likely they won't get it all.
We'll be down that way sometime this month again, I could probably help out then
, that's for us working together, not drinking 
.Had to add that in there since this has become the what you drinking these days thread

.2hp more, didn’t look up the weight but I’d guess heavier too
Front tensioner, rubber AV mounts, sucks fuel and won't filter the air as well.
They are great firewood saws though!
I think he said his was bought in 1995
I saw that and was like
.I've had that happen many times when I'm posting from my phone
, then when I'm on the computer I see it and correct it . Most times it makes for a better experience for everyone, sometimes leaving it would be fun for others, but not as much fun for me lol.
That's what I'm talking about

You sure about that
.Your description is exactly what this looks like, no way it's walnut, and it's not elm as far as I know.
Only reason I posted it was because Jeff brought up the other tree and it looked a bit similar and the range shown on the map for "hackberry" made me second guess myself. With all the guesses of it being elm I'm even more sure it's not
.
If you need gaskets/crank seals for it, I've got a set you can have, no charge.
There are more than one kind of Elm out there, and trees that grow in different places often look a bit different.
When I was up in Wisconson a couple yrs ago there was an oak I was looking at, it was obvious from the leaves it was an oak, but the bark looked nothing like any oak we have here.
I have two types of elm here at the house.

Decided it was a good day to start cleaning up the shorts/uglies pile and start filling the cage.
This is where shorts and uglies go to season. Just toss them in and forget about them.
Got about 1/3 filled with that truck load. Theres at least one more truck load to go. The cage holds enough to heat the house for a couple weeks or more when full. Saves the good stuff for another time.
Good saws, lots of available parts, several different cylinders fit them. If you do go with the larger cylinders you need to drill and tap one hole to mount the newer top cover that matches the taller cylinder. But we’ve covered that in a dedicated thread here.
Thanks for the offer man I appreciate it.
Yeah I’d say so. Mercy
Sorry to hear about your Dad.
Is that a cutting axe or splitting axe, bit looks rather slim to me?
I have the 36” and 28” version in the wedged shaped splitting axe, love them both. I bought the 28” for my oldest son but I have fell in love with it, it splits almost anything but the really large stubborn rounds. The 36” gets those big ones or the 261 does.

Cottonwood, those rounds will dry out to nearly white.
