Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

Anyone run the echo cs 310? An old guy I know is looking at buying one

I have 4-5 CS 300 series Echo's and like them all. Mine are going back at least 20 years. I haven't heard anything bad about the new ones. I think you get a lot of bang for the buck with them.
I switched to mostly Stihls on my newer saws because Echo didn't make a saw big enough to pull a 50+" bar, and I like to stick with one shop. But, I still think Echo makes a very good saw.

Thanks I have a ton of echo cs-400 and 590s and other echo products with great results just wasn't sure on there under 40cc saws except top handle and alot of guys rave about the 3510. I will pass the info and knowledge on to the guy thanks again!

If the upper portion of the tree isn't solid it might not be worth it. The lower section of the trunk appears to have a decent bit of rot. How do you plan to pull that out of the water anyway? I know I'm only seeing a tiny view of the situation......

There's 6" of ice or more on the lake now, the tree broke a few weeks or so ago when we had 60+mph winds in michigan

Probably will start at the top of the tree and work back to the stump the tree branches should be locked solid in ice now.

If you are talking about a coil wire on a Stihl chainsaw, they screw in and out of the coil, it is threaded.

This is the Dover Oak, largest tree on the Appalachian Trail, abut 15 miles from my house.

More info on the Dover Oak:

The Dover Oak is located on the north side of West Dover Road aka County Route 20. This 300 year old oak tree is reportedly the largest oak tree along the Appalachian Trail. The girth of the tree is over twenty feet. Many thru hikers stop to take pictures of this giant.

MD has a late 2 day deer season, it's this Friday and Saturday. I didn't even get my MD license this year. Got one little buck in WV and was happy with that. Last week I was cutting firewood on a farmer friends place and saw a ginormous buck. I've got to call her tomorrow and see if I can hunt Friday. I might wind up getting my first senior license, on the last day of season.

BUCK FEVER ?

Wow sweet pic MM! That tree is huuuuge!

Is there a chainsaw workbook available that tells you how to do alot of the repairs? I have the Jeff jepson how to fell a tree book and that goes everywhere my saw and wedges go.

 

[MustangMike]

There are lots of videos available on building/porting/fixing saws on this and other websites.

Even videos from a guy who makes/sells a tool to split and assemble case halves.

Can't think of anything that is not covered, and IMO better than a book.

Thanks MM!

Well, hunting season is over, it's time to deliver some wood!

Mostly Oak and Hickory, with a little Beech and Black Birch thrown in.
