thanks nhlocal


yeah it's great to update now finally,been so long since i posted any pics up,the last time i did it was spring time so now it good to show the colours here in summer.

will update my wood pile now before winter.

ok some updates,today we done some work with some FIR softwood,i was cutting some of my own and then i was working in the forest,this forest is near me and i do regular clean ups for the company aswell as watching the area,there are a lot of trees that came down during the spring when it was windy,they need to be removed now to keep the forest tidy.it's been a long time since i done any softwood cutting.



first cutting some of my own,this softwood has been laying here almost two years,it's about time to cut it up...

the softwood is like butter as i have the two saws set for hardwood (rakers)

so then it was time to head off to the local forest and clean up a little.

land is terribly wet....

i made a start with this one

 

[logger 12345]

quite large this one in person....

limbed it with 440xtorq and finished it with 365sp

this one will be next victim....

 

[logger 12345]

lot of these smaller ones scattered around too to clean up

here is the uprooted stump of the big tree i cut up,i needed to finish it with the 365sp as it got quite large towards the root.

 

[logger 12345]

and to finish this evenings updates with more pics of local scenery,pics of the locals TURF. in case you don't know what turf is,it's a type of soild fuel from land called BOG,it is dug up with machines and spread out on the ground then cut up and footed/staked then left to dry. i don't use any turf but my parents do,i burn all wood.turf is popular type of solid fuel around here though.



road home (turf in the bogs)

going home for supper after a good evenings work....

 

[logger 12345]

just want to add here that so far since i started this thread here the two saws have performed great,no toruble what so ever,i used husqvarna low smoke two stroke oil,oregon chains and bars,with high quality chain oil.all i had to do was sharpen chains.

i'm very impressed with the husqvarna chainsaws,i think i have found a good match for most work with the two saws i choose.
-365sp & 440 x torque.

i have yet to meet a tree to better the 365sp with 24" B/C,it eats through everything and i have cut some big ones here with bigger to come,the 440 is also great with the 15" B/C,how ever cutting the bar length in hardwoods can make it bog if the chains arnt sharpened fully,i like to keep the 440 chains real sharp for this reason.

the carbon handle i made for the 365sp is still perfect i would like to add and i have no intention of changing it

i will update soon,weather is very wet here again

Is that peat thats piled up?

 

[logger 12345]

Logger -

Seems like you took the "new" camera out... no more blur on the pics, and they seem to be clearer/more crisp.
