Wow Nate, lovely!
That’s a good idea and I have done that before especially when they are too big to pick up, lol.View attachment 668676View attachment 668675 But these small ones are actually easier to pickup and gently set them in the bed than try to roll, that and I’m trying not to scratch or dent my tailgate. The woes of having a pickup that’s too nice to haul wood in...
It isn't too bad. I bought my current one (89 F150) right out of the paint shed used, cherry all the way through. Only took me one season to turn it into a respectable wood hauler.
Wow small world. That’s pretty cool. Yes sir valley county, blower and pickup next to snow pics are on road to snow bank mt radar site (west mt) about 5 or 6 miles outside of cascade where I live. Other pic is at top of tamarack ski hill (west mt area) between cascade and McCall. Going to yellow pine for work tomorrow. My firewood load pic earlier is at landmark between cascade and yellow pine.View attachment 668843View attachment 668844Profile Gap between Yellow Pine and Big Creek last year. Quite the road, takes 2 hours to go 24 miles.View attachment 668846By Big Creek lodgeView attachment 668847Big Creek air strip.
Middleton, horseshoe bend, Boise are all pretty much one now
Last time I was down that way was 1971 - route was still pretty much a goat trail but it was far improved fom my first trip in 1957. Beautiful country and I have been planning a 'nostalgia trip" down for the past 10 years.

My wife took the truck today, now I see why. Yard of topsoil had it settled a bit but not as much as a box full of sugar maple!
I still haven't ran a 2511 in wood, but I'm looking forward to it, I like the baby saws and it's as baby as they get.Thanks Brett. Lol yeah I’m sure you can
Haven’t had the chance to run it for awhile but last time I did I liked it a lot. Need screen to cover my muffler mod before I run it more, pretty hot and dry now. Still wood like to try a smaller chain. Hotsaws101 has a good vid out now on one. What did you think of the 462?
I didn't run it, but it was surely light.
Not sure if I posted this picture, but I was impressed by the weight.
I'm gonna need one to run a 20/24 and a 572 to run the 28/32.
There you go, thats what I say too.People measure there rounds
Some of the stuff I cut when I first started cutting didn't fit so well though

What is a 710? Never seen one.
Looks like a nice log. What are you going to do with the milled bits?
When we were at the PA GTG, James ran one of my Super 1050's. I think the first thing he said was, "Needs more Bar". So, last week, undee70ss hooked me up with a 45" roller nose. I stuck it on a C72 for the photo op, but it will wind up on a 1050. Now, I don't have to worry about limbs smacking me in the face while mowing, and I don't have to wear myself out on the pole saw. I can just reach up and elevate everything up to about 10 feet.

We had a conversation about auto diff lockers a month or so ago...can anybody post what brand type of lockers those were?
Build a bench like this one. It was quite pretty when first built, with a lot of yellow and green running through it. That Homelite 7-29 went on walkabout, and lives in Australia now.
Looks like I'll be phoning the credit card provider later... Seems no refund has appeared for the non supplied Makita. #### me, I'm amazed retailers think they can delay refunds. I hope the card provider sorts it.... That's what credit cards are supposed to be good at after all.... Consumer credit laws giving the consumer protection. Very disappointing to have to get them involved though.
I call my Big Bore 660 a 710, it was done by Dr Al and has a Husky piston in it.
I generally mill stuff 7.5' long and 2 1/8" thick, so it is good for work benches, picnic tables, benches, etc.
With the Oak and Hickory, you don't want to handle anything larger. I figure this stuff should be easier to work with.

That always frustrated me. A charge leaves your account the second it’s approved but a refund takes several days....
