Your welcome! PHP will take wood from our area. By the time the trucking is paid for the distance it’s about the same to send it to the pellet mill. It’s just over the hill from our wood lot. Mack when I was a full time contractor I sent everything to what was then Stora, then New Page. A lot of the wood from central NS went there then. But things have changed since NP was shut down.

Things sure have changed. My brother used to work full time in the woods back in th 90s . We're getting paid significantly less for pulp now than he was then . Another paper mill in Atlantic Canada would sure be nice. But that's likely just a pipe dream.

There’s wood to cut again where you and I cut back in the mid 90’s. If that’s not putting some age on us. Lol

@ 👴 it’s funny how quickly time goes by when you’re having fun!

Hah. She’s a good old machine. Yes the 3.9’s are a great engine.

Just mostly for the fact that mills don’t pay all that much for it. And some of them aren’t worth cutting because they would be pulpwood. And we don’t have a great market for it anymore. So my plane is to cut it for a couple of my friends who have their own mills. Coming up in a video soon.

Awesome, thank you. It is a hard market for sure.

@@stevegif9620 Also at one time I used to leave them as a seed tree to seed the cutover. But I’ve learned over the years with the pine that comes back gets a weavel gets in them and they are no good after that. So I don’t want to encourage that to happen.

He does a great job! No he run all three pieces of gear by himself. 👍. Thanks

Local pellet mill. Prices are very poor. But it’s going.

Thank you!

I’m sure they have their place! Thanks

Your missing the point he is setting his saw up for the condition HE faces each and every day, not what YOU deal with.

@aussiehardwood6196 nope. I didnt miss his point..."he prefers a certain thing and style" because i replied in the same exact way, but with the opposing style. So nope. Completely understood him. And i believe he understood this as he also thanked it.

Yes it’s coming along nicely lately!

Yes. His channel is doing awesome. Nice to see! Thank you for subscribing!

@@thelankylogger Yes, he's a great guy and success is well deserved. I'm one step for You closer to 1k 😉

It is such a beautiful machine to run.

That is correct!

It is certainly cold right now! You can never have too much dry wood.

You’re talking my language. 💪🏼

Said the East Coast man.

I guess the best way to explain this in my way is … new chains probably are sharp enough for the average guy. And for liability reason for the manufacturer of the chains they don’t want them to aggressive for the average person. Most people do file a new chain or take the rakers down. But this is different for everyone’s comfort. This depends on bar length…. Meaning depending on the ccs of your saw how much is it loading up the saw. Longer the bar the more power it robs from your saw. And also depends on what kind of wood you’re cutting in your area. Hopefully this helps.

Thats what we call a new born bear cub 😂

I find they are more of a hiderence. I guess what I was trying to say if your saw is filed and cutting correctly you let your saw do the work. If my saw is cutting like butter the smooth dogs are more like a bumper and sliding down the log instead of bitting in the log. I hope this answers your question.

@@thelankylogger It does, to a point. And I'm not saying either of us are right or wrong...more of a discussion about the dogs themselves and if I'm using them right. When cutting rounds, I set the saw, bite in the dog and immediately start rotating away from me. I do this until the saw is almost vertical...then I reset it and start working down the rest of the back cut. I have found this to be the quickest way to work through a log...I usually am working with 2.5 foot logs. I find I can muscle the saw through with the dogs set and do more cuts with less time. I would love to hear others techniques on how they cut rounds. On average, I cut, split and stack about 10 cords a year. I need to add my cords are about 6 foot high, two feet wide and sixteen feet long.

I believe that’s one of the things I said, if your in big wood Iike 2.5 foot rounds I can definitely see that dogs are handy. We don’t have big wood here and I see the younger generation putting long bars and dogs on their saws in this area for no reason. I turns into a safety issue. I may bring this up in another video just to explain and show why. Thanks. And I like a good debate. Nice talk!

@ Agree that small wood and large bar are a very bad combo. I have the new Stihl fuel injected saw and have a 32" bar...I took it off and run a 20" for most things but have it there for bigger rounds. Saws can hit, deflect, kickback, pinch etc...at a moments notice and you need to always be ready, wearing your safety gear and using a saw that is the right length for the job at hand. Changing a bar and chain takes minutes. A 20" bar on a powerful saw cuts quickly and is still manageable IMOHO.

I also refuse to cut with a dull chain.

If you look after them especially for bucking wood they will pretty near go the life of the saw. I have done it before. Well worth the money, and the replable tips seem to last longer than the others.

Huh. I’ve never heard of that brand of chain! Carlton chain is one that I was not a fan of back in the day. But I haven’t seen those for years in these parts. Thank you! And you have a great day aswell.

@@thelankyloggerprobably a good thing you’ve never heard of it lol. I just bought a sugihari chain. Gonna do a video on that when it gets a little warmer.

Thank you! 🙏

Only advise I can give to is lots of practice. But once you get it. You’ve got it for life.

👍. Everything is great. Thanks Kenny

I will try that! 👍

@@thelankylogger given how well & sharp you file your chains, you will def notice a difference.

Yes. They are made by Viking. You may have to order them if they don’t have them in stock. They aren’t to bad with a pair of insoles in them. And water proof. Great for wet days too

Just trying it out!

Yes they have a harvester version as well.

True story! 🤣

I did! They are a nice working machines.

No i didn’t, coming up soon though. We do really need this in N.S. So many lots coming up that need the fir taken out first then leave it. I’ve been saying for years, we need more small contractors suppling our mills then a couple bigger ones trying to do it all. I think it’s the future way of doing things. Thanks
