Sugar maple - yes. Red maple - No. But in this hardwood lacking area, I'll take red maple anyday over most other available things. I luicked into 2 big ones last spring. 3 cord in one , 2 in the other. Beats willow by a bunch!
I'm not old by any standards, but any saw without av or bad av makes my hands go numb in no time. Even the newer saws I have leave my hands tingling after a day of use. That and my tennis elbow flairs up pretty bad anymore. Have a brace that helps with that though. Dr says most of it is from being a mechanic, impacts and whatnot.
I’ve been burning hickory for two years that and white oak. Seams that’s all I have been pulling out of my friends farm . I did mill some with the Alaskan mill very rough on the chain . Buddy of mine milled the rest for me
I will gladly run that all day!!!! (For 1 day onlyRun this Mike for a couple hours, you’ll get a good arm pump . Lol
) Can't be any heavier than my 82/88cc remingtons, especially the one with the 16 link hard nose Carlton bar I modified to fit before I learned more by being on the forum. Still trying to find a bar that makes the big remingtons equally weighted.
Like having a Cummins Diesel strapped to ur arms, lolI will gladly run that all day!!!! (For 1 day only
Got my dad's firewood all split, going to make a run for totes there free just the gas to get then. My dad has pallet forks on the tractor so he cN drop one off by back door where woodstove is.
The box fan lowered oil temps by 10° on the splitter. Most of our wood is popple or maple. And first fire for my parents since 1990, pleasant heart stove I think the 2200sqft model.

I love the Dolmar! In my case it's the "DROOLMAR" Even though I am pretty much a Husky guy! I would love to have one of those anyway!I’ve pretty much used 28 inch bars to buck for the same reason . When I feel manly I use the 395xp

I've had issues with carpal tunnel and even switched to saws with coil-sprung AV because of it.
That being said, I did take my 066 to work today. I cut down this nice little Doug Fir this am, that's a 36" on my 066 for reference. I mostly just coached my guys on some smaller firs(24"ish.)
I don't cut with this saw much, but it's one that I ported and did some machine work on the cylinder...I'm reminded of why guys like Kodiak like the 90cc saws.

I bought it from a board member . It’s a Miller modded saw .I love the Dolmar! In my case it's the "DROOLMAR" Even though I am pretty much a Husky guy! I would love to have one of those anyway!
This is how it looked when I got it

Yup. Usually refers to a log that's been cut up into lengths you'd only get a couple of rounds out of. If it's long enough to be sent to a sawmill, it's a log. If I were talking to a local tree service, i'd say "can you leave me a couple of barrels and i'll get rid of them", they'd leave me the main trunk cut up into a couple of shorter sections, but still not fully bucked. Sounds like it's a regional thing then.
I got a 25 inch bar for that reason too but found I was still stooping a lot and my back was killing me. 28 was still slightly too short, i'm 6'2. I put my 30" milling bar on my saw after watching Buckin's vids to see, and it was the right length so I got one. We'll see long term but I can tell from the first use that it's a totally different stance. I just gotta be extra mindful of where the tip of that long bar is at all times. The other thing was full skip chain. I've been told all my life it doesn't work with Aussie hardwoods. I should have never just relied on what I was told and tried things for myself. Full skip cut perfectly fine, and I can even get a semi-chisel full skip here.
Gees my 390xp is so front heavy with a 36" bar on it, I'd hate to loaf it around all day just to save a few bends.
