      Hi Jim! I guess I was trying to justify it, but at the same time, I was in my legal rights to take it since it was on the shoulder of the road. Which reminds me, I have to return his No Trespassing sign.... That is funny, maybe I should sell it back to him? He doesn't cut wood, he BUYS IT!!! Thank you for watching and commenting!

Not even sure what the frame and lumber is going to run you. I think I was around $350 in materials and frame. Best of luck to you. If I see a call from Missouri, I'll answer it!

    I like your setup for hauling. My small saw is a 562 and that is 59cc I also have a 462stihl and a 390xp husqvarna. I cut a lot of bigger wood so the bigger saw makes a lot of time for example it’s probably 15 seconds faster in a 20 inch tree than the small saw but when I cut 14 inch or below than the smart saws are nice and they aren’t far behind in time. First time I have seen a 254xp I had a 257xp.

    • @WSTMike
      @WSTMike  2 роки тому +1

      Hi Wayne! Thank you for checking out WST. We appreciate it. You have a nice stable of saws. Pretty much nothing you can’t do with that lineup. The 254XP has been a favorite of mine for many years. Great 50cc saw for small work like you saw in the video. I normally run my 272XP (462 equivalent) which I run a 20” and 28” bar on. I have 394XP also that generally runs the 32” bar. Great big wood and milling saw. I like the old school saws. That is all you will see on this channel. They are all ported and easy to make power with. I enjoyed your comment. Hope to see you again soon. WST

    I got some wood I'm cutting up along the road in some weeds tree service cut them up and left them but it was hard to get them in the summer when the weeds were up. Now it's alot easier to get to the wood alot of ash, cherry, some red oak.

      Hi Kevin! Hope all is well. That is a common theme here also. On the main roads around the lake, the tree services leave wood for dead along the road. Not always an easy pickup to your point. Ditches in the summer are no fun! Sounds like you got some quality wood to get. Always nice to get some freebies. Thank you for watching and I hope you and your family have a Happy Holiday! WST

    Like I always tell Scheib, put on an orange vest and get a yellow beacon light on your tractor! You could clear the entire road of problem trees!

      Hello Mr. Lacy! Hope all is well on the home front. What you told, Scheib, I will second. There is all kinds of wood out there and not much competition for it. My neighbor will never know those trees are gone! Plus, they were in the ditch of the township. I shouldn't have made it sound like it was some covert operation, it wasn't. I think it would be right for me to return the NO TRESPASSING sign to the neighbor that you saw at the beginning of the video LOL!!! Take care and thanks for watching.

      Hi Chris!! It is always interesting to hear what is allowed and not allowed for different people. In some areas in the U.S. it is a lot like there. In my case, the road has no outlet, meaning, it dead ends at out property. We do not get people passing though for no reason. Our road is not high on the county's list to clean up. That is where I come in. Thank you for watching! Happy New Year from the WST Crew!!!

    Ironic that you have a "no trespassing" sign on your tractor.
    Technically, legally, the wood belongs to the landowner. The county has ONLY an easement. The property, UP TO THE CENTER LINE OF THE ROADWAY, belongs to the abutting landowners. The trees are the legal property of the landowner. They may not care. But apparently some care.
    I'm also not sure where you are, saw you wearing a U of M sweatshirt, so if you're in Michigan, there's a treble damages provision for theft of trees. Now the landowner may say the value in the trees was in veneer, or fancy lumber, and you'll be stuck with it.
    Best to ASK the actual owner of trees before you take them.
