Scrounging had been slow here, dad ill so time spent visiting, but with last week's delivery I got to it last night with the fiskars and split the short stuff. It was good. Very cathartic. It seems dead standing and dry plum splits very easily, x17 did most of the work. The pile continues to grow :)

So I got the j red running again but it still won't idle. Uncle says he's done messing with it. So the saws getting replaced. Options are the 261 v2 and the cs501p. The echo is about $100 cheaper and a little lighter. The stihl is a little stronger and m tronic. I feel like any saw forum will lean hard to the stihl but figured I'd ask.

Sorry to hear about your dad, we are dealing with plenty of issues right now with my FIL.
Processing wood can take your mind off things for a bit.

Don't see a husky/J red in his future. This one's been to the dealer twice be for I went threw it and they told him there's nothing wrong. Maybe I'll give him my 490 and pick up a 501 for my self.

Yup , slim pickens on this lot , alder , popple , fir, birch , a couple of small maple , juniper, spruce and 1 oak tree that I wasn't aloud to cut lol
I slashed up most of the fir but the tally should be maybe 2 cord of hardwood and maybe between 3 to 4 cord of saved softwood .

I had almost all pine last year for the OWB. It was 300* cooler burn and took more but it got it done.

They will put a hurting on you, they're nasty.
Here's one way to fix that, just doesn't work all the time and under many circumstances :blob2:.


Man thats a nice burn. We have wild roses out here that I ***** about but nothing like those thorns!
