So today began my firewood season...it went better than expected. My firewood tractor is a massey ferguson 471 4x4. All tires loaded, loader frame on also. Its heavy so it has great traction. I started small with 2 trees that were down last fall. A black walnut and a shagbark hickory both similiar in diameter (17" or so). Both nearly 40ft long. Not huge but lots of wood. The awesome part was using a mcculloch saw! So a few weeks ago i asked help identifying what turned out to be a 6-10a. Well, it came back to me. The guy didnt like it and bought a stihl 170 on sale. To each their own. Stihl makes great stuff, so i was offered the 6-10. No hesitation on my part. I was the one who got it going in the first place so i know it runs. I was very pleased. Man that saw will cut. It has a 18" .325 bar and chain. That thing really eats. Winds out tight and does not slow down. Louder than heck but we have ear plugs for that...ha ha. Light weight, easy to handle. I was impressed to say the least. Tomorrow i have more dragging in to do before i buck and split. Ill try to get some photos. I cant say enough...70cc is awesome and fast!!!
Yaaaaayyyy you got it waaaahooo!!!
Good job I hoped he wouldn't like it lol
I reckon in smaller wood my best 70cc mac is the same if not faster than the 800 in below 20 inch with the same bar n chain. Much lighter and more nimble to boot.
Ron and Brian you guys have got a good setup going now. The big wood looks far easier with that handy dandy tractor
Jerry good to see your still into that old 7-10
