Ladies and Gentlemen Welcome to Production Junction Direct from Bertlandia in the heart of Cheese and cranberry alley. Where the Ash hits the fan. Good to see Hurricane Tyler And good to see Bert putting a hurt on those bucked up stumps . Two Pat's on the back for the camera man. All you were missing is Polka music.
Morning Chris! I like having someone help me cutting but just not certain ones. The young lad you got there is a good one. I know you'll look after him. Also I'm glad you haven't gone over to the loud is better side. I don't understand why some guys you tube channels think it's better to be louder. That's a great way to piss off the neighbors. Thanks for the morning entertainment! Cheers from Quebec Ca
Hah, I love it Ian! I spent the first quarter of life doing Loud & Fast... Now I enjoy Efficiency😉 One of the countless benefits of running Husqy Pro Saws is that they sound vicious out of the box and they simply produce! The Loud/Proud crowd just want to Trick out their saws with the latest gadgetry and that’s perfectly fine. Much like Chris does, I’ll just keep making firewood with my Hot Husqvarnas and Sharp Chains!🤣 Bless’ns to ya, Tedd
Things all makes sense now on why you moved your woodyard out here. These are some fine folks with a great location, skid steer on site, willing to help, AND a large cement pad to work on. What an asset that is in itself! GNI
@charles schwab yes I'm aware of that side of it as well. He could've fenced around it or trees to block it. Main thing is he found a nice place to continue his business.
Hi Chris, Maybe it’s not practical, but all the rounds I can’t lift, I roll them onto a pallet and use the tractor forks to lift them to the splitter. With my small tractor (BX23s) I can lift 3 or 4 big rounds up to the splitter and use the pallet like a huge splitting table. Keep ‘em coming!!! Can’t wait to see how many cords you cut in the next few months with the 22 MB.
I thought Husqvarna was going to be forced to lay off a shift at the factory after you got the 22MB but after watching this video I think they will be ok. 🔥🪵 Great vid!
Oh Man...This had to be fun especially after that long stretch of no cutting! I am biting at the bit myself to run some saws. It has been muddy and rainy since the great freeze came in... Thanks for giving him a hand,Tyler! Bert...I like your style on operation of equipment. 1/3 throttle, smooth and easy on fuel and equipment!👍 Chris, so the trick for justifying buying a new saw is just to say " I think I heard a slight rattle in the old one?" Thanks for the tip! Have a great weekend!🤠
@bert brei I knew it was low rpm...Also heard you give her the juice when you headed out. When there is ground to cover or heavier loads. Definitely best to run em at high rpm. My comment was on your choice to idle and not overly wear tires spinning on concrete and ramming stuff...Smooth operation!👍
It’s really great that you found a location so close to your old wood yard and to have such a nice concrete area to work in any weather ! I hope that you have a good relationship with these people in the years that you may continue to work . Really nice people with similar values in work and family . Congratulations , thanks for sharing your World with all of us . In a time that It’s not Mayberry any more ?
Nice work Woodyard & Co. Tony gets gum and 1/2 of a taco, Erik gets EXL chain. He sure earned it. Noodle kitty & chicken litter galore. Big saws were making haystacks. GNI
This AM I watched #120 and another from that era and thought I was missing you attacking a wood pile. Then, lo and behold, today’s vid is you attacking a wood pile!!! Ahhhhhh, that’s better. 😆 Not that I have any complaints about what you’ve been posting…all is good. Cheers 🇨🇦
Good information today’s video! I have an 18 inches Echo c32 it’s only when I cut down trees laying down around campus where I work, everything helps to heat up the house! Thank you Chris
Looks like y’all got a lot work done! I bought a 592 a week before Christmas and I have put about 5gal of gas thru it already. It is a beast! I’ve had a 1999 husqvarna 55(51cc) for years and loved it and was going to upgrade to a 572 but after seeing what you were using last year I bought the bigger one. I will be getting a 572 later on. Stay safe and keep it up!
You sound just like me... I've got a 2001 55 with an 18, and then got a 2009 372xp with a 24, and then got a 395xp used on an ebay gamble (I can't remember what year it is at the moment...) that I put a 32 on. The 55 still runs great, the 372 is just flat out fun to run, and the 395 is a beast.
572 is a good saw. It's more of a high raker, high chain speed type saw. It's not a torque saw like the 592 or 545 mk2 (only other 500 series Huskies I own to compare it to) though . It likes to be run with lighter pressure and just let the saw do the work. Been super reliable for me. I usually run a 28" Oregon EXL chain (full comp full chisel) on mine. Keep the rakers at .025" and it's a great saw. You could probably get away with lower rakers out west but I deal with a lot of Oak and Hickory etc. so I try not to keep the chain too hungry
Great video! Always nice to have help in the woodyard. Makes it go by quick! I'm with you guys on bar size. I mostly run my saws (Stihl and Husky) with 20"/24" bars and use my MS660 with a 32" bar for certain situations.
I'm kind of "stand up and buck" type guy; especially as I get older. I usually run a 28" bar on my 572xp and 592xp. Run a 24 sometimes too though. I fell some really big trees where I live so I've also got a 36" light bar for my 592 and a 32" (full skip for that) for my 572 when the situation calls for it. 28" is the sweet spot for me though. Depends on a lot of factors like your height and the type of wood you're dealing with. My favorite saw is my 545 mk2, one of the most underrated saws out there IMO. It's an extremely powerful 50cc saw with tons of torque. Better than the 550xp IMHO, less of a high end screamer but more low end torque. Obviously I run a 20" .325 bar on that but with a sprocket change there's no doubt in my mind it would pull a 24" 3/8" full comp chain, even in the Oak and Hickory I often deal with
572xpg isn't heavy but rips thru wood fast. Great saw for logging and limbing easily . I use my 661 with long bar to drop big trees and buck anything 3ft plus diameter
60cc saws are also a good balance IMO. I definitely have a soft spot for 70cc saws though. A 372 or 572 can do just about everything pretty well 👍 I only bust out the 592 for felling and bucking the biggest trees I deal with. A little too heavy to work with all day. That's where 60cc saws like the 562 shine in my opinion. It will still pull a 28" bar (my favorite length) but isn't quite as fatiguing if you aren't dealing with really big stuff
We use a vertical/horizontal splitter that I can push around by hand but is still strong enough to split 30"+ live oak. If the foot plate is on the ground then you can roll the round to it and flip the round onto the foot plate so all you have to do is roll flip split, there is no lifting or cutting involved. If the round is to big to move at all then you can set it in the splitter with the skidder and forks to quarter. If you have a splitter and no machine then you can lever a side up, block it and slide the base plate of the splitter under the round to quarter it. There's a thousand ways to skin a cat, these are just some of the ways I do it to make my life easy and get some appreciation from my back rather than manhandeling rounds over 100 pounds like a dummy lol.
When noodling like that, it's more fun to cut most of the way through, then smack it with an axe, right on the kerf! Works every time, and no need to roll the thing over. At least with stuff like Ash, oak, Hard maple, or locust, anyway. For the really tough ones, you may need to Channel Buckin' and holler DANIEL-SAN!!!! when you do it, lol. More often than not, I can then split the halves in half with the axe, too. I just hate turning what little heartwood there is in Ash logs into sawdust... The noodles get gathered up, and used as firestarter in lieu of paper. They dry out in hours in the summer, and a couple of days in the cooler, damper months. They'd work great with parrafin, to make those chunky ones people sell.
What’s better than dueling banjos? Two guys bucking and noodling big Ash rounds with a pair of sharp Huskies blowing chips into the crisp air. Nice productive day in the Wood Yard🪵😁
maybe a skid steer wood splitter from Andrew @ eastonmade to break down those big rounds. not that expensive and saves a lot of time / wear and tear on the saw. I bought a wolf ridge skid steer splitter for that reason and actually put it on the front of my tractor. Saves a lot of time.
CHRIS YOUR HELPER IS A SMART MAN. NOT ONLY DOES HE OWN A HUSKY I SAW A CHEVY TRUCK SITTING THERE TOO. GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK 👍
Look at the rip chips flying off those saws, now that’s what you call shredding the cheese! Stereo Huskies screaming, Woodcats working on a mouse, if that’s not living I don’t know what is. Say hello to Irene for me!
Chris...you ought to bag up all those noodles and sell as hamster/guinea pig bedding. Or get egg boxes and pack them with noodles and pour hot paraffin wax/old candles over them as fire starters. That 592 RIPS! Nothing beats ccs!!
Great work. Looks like you need a sweeping attachment on a weed eater for sweeping up the sawdust off the concrete. It's like that farm was made for doing firewood. Great spot and great help.
Great vid!! good to see tyler again!! a little tip from an old guy. when noodling make your first cut almost all the way through like you do then rotate the log 1/4 turn, then make your second cut! one less time bending over and the top piece falls off! give it a try! it might work for you! GNI !!
That's what I do usually also. And, usually I don't noodle all the way through... I'll leave the last 2-4 inches to make sure I don't get in the dirt, and I'll come back through with my little 6 pound maul or even the Fiskars SSA and pop them apart the rest of the way. One light swing is all it takes, and no chains in the dirt... and I get to swing the maul a bit too... just something satisfying about popping those big rounds apart with the maul even though they're cut most of the way through already. GNI!!
Ebels hardware in Falmouth MI great chainsaw store, have been buying saws there for 40 year's. Grandfather was a logger and introduced it to me. Run logger deal's where you purchase 2 or 3 saws and REALLY great prices. Also a butcher shop with great meat prices.
That was an impressive day. Maybe a little depressing for me from what i get done in a day. Good work, guess i better get into the woods. Thanks for the inspiration!
What a great way to start my day. Watching an hour worth of WoodYard carnage. Including a trace of kitty cat carnage, too. That mouse didn't stand s chance. GNI
Chris. Save the 576 now. But a piston and cylinder kit on eBay. If you don’t know or can’t change it yourself. I would be HAPPY to do it for you. Just pay for shipping the saw. I see anywhere from 115$ to 200$ for a piston cylinder kit That’s all it is. Your developing “piston slap”. Meaning the tolerance between piston and cylinder wall is “off” Those 576 wasn’t really known for bearing issues n such So 120$ plus some shipping can save your chainsaw !!! Let me know I’d be happy to help you out
That sounds great Eric! Email me your Address and I will send it out! I just subscribed to your channel and I can give you a shout out when I get the saw back and send you a heard of subscribers!
Chris your better buy a 100’ off chain , make you own for $12 . In your case you will use it’s up Chris . Probably take 5 to 10 min to make a chain up any length you need buddy . 😊
Good morning, I appreciate your videos I think they are great. Glad to see you cutting wood again! Just wondering what type of stone you use in your dremel to sharpen your blades? Thanks and have a great day!
If you use square grind full skip teeth on your chainsaw. They last a lot longer plus it cuts almost as much as 50% faster than compared to the regular aggressive chain. The full skip is rare to get in-store and they are chains that do not like to undercut logs with the tip of your bar (injury prone chain).
Chris uses round file chisel chain, 10% faster than standard chain. Square grind chisel cuts 30% faster on average than semi-chisel. Tests have been done on full-comp and skip chain. Until you get into wood over 24in, the full-comp chain actually cuts quicker. The skip chain starts pulling away at 26-28in diameter wood.
I remember when we took down old big trees in a graveyard 20 years ago, the old rotten and hollow trees were filled with concrete. They did that to make them stand longer. But it was good fun every time you found that concrete with the long 48" bar and had to handfile the chain...
You generate a lot of sawdust and shavings (from the rip cuts). Do you market those products as well or is it too much trouble to gather and package it? You guys got some work done!
I think the next purchase should/would be a grapple bucket for the skid steer. That would be handy for all the wood work. And you can get the oregon 72exl084 chains on ebay for sub $20 too.
Curious if you will split the rounds where they are and into the dump trailer then out to be stacked or take the rounds out to where they will be stacked and split there :).
When your bar starts cutting crooked like that it can usualy be fixed with a belt sander to get the side plates ground to were they are even with each other again.
Just out of curiosity? I am a fellow Wisconsinite. You mention not having a log lift on the Easton Made. Why did you go with Easton Made over a wolfridge thats built in Eau Claire?
What will you do with all that sawdust, will the farmer scrape it all up and spread it in the fields? Seems like it would be a good way to return some nutrients to the soil.
The Husqvarna sales rep tried to strong-arm the local Tractor Supply store in Waterloo, IA and told them that if Husqvarna was to be sold in the store, no other brand would be allowed. My TS doesn't sell Husqvarna brand anymore. Lol
Didn't mean to send that. Next time your dump trailer battery is low plug it into the Electric Box Liberator, should give you enough to dump. Or if you are cutting or splitting plug it in to charge it up. I wish I knew how many EBL's you sold for them. I got the one just like yours. $779 at amazon.
I don't have a Husqvarna, but I Stihl watched the video!
I Stihl don't understand the assignment
Tho shall not Stihl!!!
I Stihl don't get it?!?
Be Stihl my beating heart.

Yup, I concur Sir Tedd!!!
Morning Chris. Glad the weather held off for your carnage day! I had to wear my ear protection watching this video. Stay safe👍
Yes, it was very loud!!!
Things all makes sense now on why you moved your woodyard out here. These are some fine folks with a great location, skid steer on site, willing to help, AND a large cement pad to work on. What an asset that is in itself! GNI
@charles schwab yes I'm aware of that side of it as well. He could've fenced around it or trees to block it. Main thing is he found a nice place to continue his business.
yup!
Yup, it is good!
No, I chose to move instead of paying big money for improvements.Their loss. I am now in a different town where freedom still exists.
Hi Chris,
Maybe it’s not practical, but all the rounds I can’t lift, I roll them onto a pallet and use the tractor forks to lift them to the splitter.
With my small tractor (BX23s) I can lift 3 or 4 big rounds up to the splitter and use the pallet like a huge splitting table.
Keep ‘em coming!!! Can’t wait to see how many cords you cut in the next few months with the 22 MB.
That definitely works when you don't have a log lift.
Ripping works but soon you will see the new tool Bert has for the skid steer!
I love the sound of chainsaws in the morning it sounds like CARNAGE. Keep on cutting
Yup, it is 100% carnage!
I thought Husqvarna was going to be forced to lay off a shift at the factory after you got the 22MB but after watching this video I think they will be ok. 🔥🪵 Great vid!
Yup, I just bought another one! 572XP...G ! I now have hot hands!
Good to see production again. After so many moving videos
I concur 100%!!!!
Having great equipment makes the job so much easier.
Yup, much more betterer!!
You must have been having withdrawal symptoms Chris, you haven't cut wood for a while. It's good to see cutting carnage again.
Yup, it was good to create carnage once again!
Oh Man...This had to be fun especially after that long stretch of no cutting! I am biting at the bit myself to run some saws. It has been muddy and rainy since the great freeze came in...
Thanks for giving him a hand,Tyler!
Bert...I like your style on operation of equipment. 1/3 throttle, smooth and easy on fuel and equipment!👍
Chris, so the trick for justifying buying a new saw is just to say " I think I heard a slight rattle in the old one?" Thanks for the tip!
Have a great weekend!🤠
Loader was on idle. There are few times run higher and im sure that will be coming soon.
Yup, It worked, my wife gave me the okay!!!!
@bert brei I knew it was low rpm...Also heard you give her the juice when you headed out. When there is ground to cover or heavier loads. Definitely best to run em at high rpm. My comment was on your choice to idle and not overly wear tires spinning on concrete and ramming stuff...Smooth operation!👍
@In The Woodyard You are not going to believe this!! I just came in from the shop and my truck, tractor and saw all have a slight ticking noise...🤣
Hey Chris that looks like the wood piles I work on. It's great when my sons are helping me. Keep up the great videos.
Yup, big stuff!
Good morning, Chris. I love watching you work, but my back hurts just watching you.
More moving will help you back sitting kills.
Stereo chainsaws music for my breakfast if I could only smell the 2 stroke it would be heaven!
Yup, the hum was cool to feel!
When I noodle a big fat round in half I usually cut it 1/2 way to 2/3way through and then hit the cut with my maul to finish the cut.
Yup, that works too!
🤘Nice amount of wood done. I can hear the Ultra getting excited for its debut in the new woodyard .
Yup, we have ran it for a few days now, you will see it soon!
It’s really great that you found a location so close to your old wood yard and to have such a nice concrete area to work in any weather ! I hope that you have a good relationship with these people in the years that you may continue to work . Really nice people with similar values in work and family .

Boy it’s nice to see you cutting wood and man you got some good help today. I know you be happy with all that help
Yup, it was a fun day!
Nice work Woodyard & Co. Tony gets gum and 1/2 of a taco, Erik gets EXL chain. He sure earned it. Noodle kitty & chicken litter galore. Big saws were making haystacks. GNI

You guys show me a lot of how to’s with out even meaning to 👍🏻👍🏻thank you!!
Happy to help!
Nice to see some cutting in the new woodyard
You bet, lots more to come!
Bert sure like to keep it tidy around there, which is always nice. The new woodyard is awesome!
That's the plan! But right now it is kinda muddy!
Hey Chris I like the little power pack for your Dremel tool. What a great idea
Yup, it works great!
Nice set up with your portable Vice and your power unit too ! What a Great Family of good folks !

Good Morning
All I can say is WOW. This was impressive. Great job.
Thanks AM!!!
Chris I never fall like that but when I do I try to get up really quickly and hope nobody saw me 😂. GNI 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I fall but not usually on camera, it is more fun for you all to see it!
Awesome video Chris its great to see you guys out cutting again your helper is a awesome guy
Thanks, yup, Tyler is a great guy!
Been watching your videos for some time and have decided on the 562XP. Thanks for making great educational videos on all the different saws.
Good choice! Nice saw!
I enjoy the bucket work almost as much as the cutting! Nice team work.
Ha! Thanks Ken!
Great day of production. And good to see the saws running again. I mentioned this before, not sure you
Thanks!

Makes it really nice working on level concrete. A little harder on the chain if you go too far 😂, but good for footing and rolling rounds
Very true! It is nice to be out of snow and mud!!

Thanks Rusty! Yup, Tyler is a good guy!
I saw a nice looking conveyor in the background and was waiting for you to say something about it. New equipment or Bert's?
Its mine and it will get used.
You will see it soon!
two saws going close together.... they harmonize its a great sound
Yup, we could feel it in our chests, it was awesome!
The skid stear definetly a game changer :)
having a good operator does not hurt either.😉
Yup!
exactly!
Look at the rip chips flying off those saws, now that’s what you call shredding the cheese! Stereo Huskies screaming, Woodcats working on a mouse, if that’s not living I don’t know what is. Say hello to Irene for me!
Yup, another great day in the wood yard... THANKS KEN!
I loved the look of the sawdust when you were ripping the logs. Looks like it could be great for making some fire starter!
Noodles! 🍜
It is!
Chris...you ought to bag up all those noodles and sell as hamster/guinea pig bedding. Or get egg boxes and pack them with noodles and pour hot paraffin wax/old candles over them as fire starters.
That 592 RIPS! Nothing beats ccs!!
Yup, lots of possibilities!
Turning wood into smaller wood. You love to see it 🎉
It is very detailed and highly skilled work....create carnage!!!!
Looks good minty fine work
Oh yeah I’m installing the famous zip ties and the orange tucked tape thank you!
Great work. Looks like you need a sweeping attachment on a weed eater for sweeping up the sawdust off the concrete. It's like that farm was made for doing firewood. Great spot and great help.
We have a skid steer and a master operator to clean it up!
Nice way in breaking in the new yard, with the singing of Husqvarnas. 😁👍
Oh yeah!
Great vid!! good to see tyler again!! a little tip from an old guy. when noodling make your first cut almost all the way through like you do then rotate the log 1/4 turn, then make your second cut! one less time bending over and the top piece falls off! give it a try! it might work for you! GNI !!
Great tip!
That's what I do usually also. And, usually I don't noodle all the way through... I'll leave the last 2-4 inches to make sure I don't get in the dirt, and I'll come back through with my little 6 pound maul or even the Fiskars SSA and pop them apart the rest of the way. One light swing is all it takes, and no chains in the dirt... and I get to swing the maul a bit too... just something satisfying about popping those big rounds apart with the maul even though they're cut most of the way through already.
GNI!!
Ebels hardware in Falmouth MI great chainsaw store, have been buying saws there for 40 year's. Grandfather was a logger and introduced it to me. Run logger deal's where you purchase 2 or 3 saws and REALLY great prices. Also a butcher shop with great meat prices.
Yup, they come to our logging shows and I have bought stuff from them!
Great job 👏 Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching!
That was an impressive day. Maybe a little depressing for me from what i get done in a day. Good work, guess i better get into the woods. Thanks for the inspiration!
Just keep cuttin'!
What a great way to start my day.
Watching an hour worth of WoodYard carnage. Including a trace of kitty cat carnage, too. That mouse didn't stand s chance.
GNI
Yup, it was a good day!
Chris. Save the 576 now. But a piston and cylinder kit on eBay. If you don’t know or can’t change it yourself. I would be HAPPY to do it for you. Just pay for shipping the saw.
I see anywhere from 115$ to 200$ for a piston cylinder kit
That’s all it is. Your developing “piston slap”. Meaning the tolerance between piston and cylinder wall is “off”
Those 576 wasn’t really known for bearing issues n such
So 120$ plus some shipping can save your chainsaw !!! Let me know I’d be happy to help you out
That sounds great Eric! Email me your Address and I will send it out! I just subscribed to your channel and I can give you a shout out when I get the saw back and send you a heard of subscribers!
Awesome video, Chris!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it, we did!
0-Rat, 1-Cat. great job chris on catching that rat. The gray cat took-it and ran to eat-it. hard working guy's..
Yup, they like the mice!
Awesome carnage!! Wouldn't mind having a couple loads of the ash.
It is good stuff!
I love the tailgate party.
Thanks Ralph!
It's a 4 cup a joe show tday folks!! The sawdust is piling up!
Yup, more to come!
I was worried you’d forgot how to use the saw but you’ve still got it😂 great vid👍
Like riding a bike!
What a massive amount of work done, great video. In my area we measure that as a Crap Ton!
Yup, thanks!
Chris you guys produced enough wood shavings to keep a couple of goat/chicken ranchers Happy for a year or 2!!
That big gnarly ash was massive!
Yup, we did get some nice chunks!
Chris your better buy a 100’ off chain , make you own for $12 . In your case you will use it’s up Chris . Probably take 5 to 10 min to make a chain up any length you need buddy . 😊
No thanks, I don't want to, I like to open the box and slap one on.
Good morning, I appreciate your videos I think they are great. Glad to see you cutting wood again! Just wondering what type of stone you use in your dremel to sharpen your blades? Thanks and have a great day!
He has videos on it if you go back through the 950 other ones.
Oregon 7/32 about $7 for 3
Yup!
Great video , good to get some of that big stuff cut down to size and ready to split.
Thanks, yup, it sure is!
If you use square grind full skip teeth on your chainsaw. They last a lot longer plus it cuts almost as much as 50% faster than compared to the regular aggressive chain. The full skip is rare to get in-store and they are chains that do not like to undercut logs with the tip of your bar (injury prone chain).
Chris uses round file chisel chain, 10% faster than standard chain. Square grind chisel cuts 30% faster on average than semi-chisel. Tests have been done on full-comp and skip chain. Until you get into wood over 24in, the full-comp chain actually cuts quicker. The skip chain starts pulling away at 26-28in diameter wood.
On big wood yes and especially soft wood. But smaller hardwood ????
yup.
The carb is also heated on the xpg
Okay!
Haven't seen a cutting session in a while, full speed ahead in the new woodyard!
The carnage will continue!
When he was using the dremel on the chain it reminded me of the dentist
Yup, every time I sharpen a chain with the Dremel I think the same thing! Thanks for watching Dean!
I remember when we took down old big trees in a graveyard 20 years ago, the old rotten and hollow trees were filled with concrete. They did that to make them stand longer. But it was good fun every time you found that concrete with the long 48" bar and had to handfile the chain...
Ouch!!!!
Nice load of wolves you got there You chopped them up in quarters as nice what do you use them for Just outdoor wood burners
Thanks, no, they will be split smaller and sold to fireplace people.
Nice to work on a concrete slab. But if you hit the “ground” it’s 100% chance of carnage of the unpleasant kind. But there ain’t no mud.
Cut until you see sparks!!!
You generate a lot of sawdust and shavings (from the rip cuts). Do you market those products as well or is it too much trouble to gather and package it? You guys got some work done!
To much other important things to do.
Free logs and free help you can't beat that!!!
Yup, it was a great day...again!
I think the next purchase should/would be a grapple bucket for the skid steer. That would be handy for all the wood work. And you can get the oregon 72exl084 chains on ebay for sub $20 too.
He already has one, you will see it someday.
Looking and thinking about the time and labor that went into this, I would think that a couple/three large or extra large pizzas were in order.
Yup, I agree!
Curious if you will split the rounds where they are and into the dump trailer then out to be stacked or take the rounds out to where they will be stacked and split there :).
You will see, there is an elevator and we have trailers so.....
That was a lot of ash and maple you were cutting with Bert, Multiple saws are always handy to have, when cutting wood for production for next year,
might have been a bit of Spruce and Cottonwood🙃 mixed in as well.
Yup, it was fun!
Yup, you would notice that! You are an expert..kind of!! Haa!
Good to see you back on the tools instead of chasing the Benjamin's $$$$ 👍
I have been moving an entire wood yard for months now.
I love your brother's chainsaw holder idea. I'm doing that soon.
??? Can the heat be turned off on the heated handle bar 🤔
Yes
@Kenneth Carlson just remember the O is for off not on.
Haaaaa!
Yup, it works great!
Nice work guys😊😊
Thanks!!
Nice saw. Just curious, what mic do you like to run in it? Do you stick with 50 to 1 or do you like a thicker mix for that big of saw?
50:1
When your bar starts cutting crooked like that it can usualy be fixed with a belt sander to get the side plates ground to were they are even with each other again.
Yup, or put a new bar and chain on!
Nice job god bless
Thanks you John!
Just out of curiosity? I am a fellow Wisconsinite. You mention not having a log lift on the Easton Made. Why did you go with Easton Made over a wolfridge thats built in Eau Claire?
Speed price quality resale dependability speed size speed design speed. Oh ya, and speed.
What will you do with all that sawdust, will the farmer scrape it all up and spread it in the fields? Seems like it would be a good way to return some nutrients to the soil.
Most of it will be burned.
The Husqvarna sales rep tried to strong-arm the local Tractor Supply store in Waterloo, IA and told them that if Husqvarna was to be sold in the store, no other brand would be allowed. My TS doesn't sell Husqvarna brand anymore. Lol
Yup.
Most all the stores around here sell both Husky and Stihl. Pretty stupid sales rep if you ask me.
Didn't mean to send that. Next time your dump trailer battery is low plug it into the Electric Box Liberator, should give you enough to dump. Or if you are cutting or splitting plug it in to charge it up. I wish I knew how many EBL's you sold for them. I got the one just like yours. $779 at amazon.
It is a really handy thing for sure!
