Hello all,
I was wondering what you guys use or recommend to flush cut stumps and buck logs up to 34" in diameter? I have numerous large Red Oaks on my property that I have began to cut down. Most of which are dead or dying, or are infected with grubs.
I am currently using a Sthil 038 with a 20" bar and chain. Talk about work, I have rented a Stihl 460M w/ 28" bar and chain and that was a step in the right direction. I am now leaning toward a Stihl 660M with 32" bar and chain.
Most of it gets cut to firewood length and then split by hand. Some gets "donated" to a hobbyist in the area with a portable mill. I burn the brush and tips.
Any advice or suggestions would be welcome.
