I just got done with building a "pretty good sized" storm water canal. About 200 yards long, and 6 feet deep, and 20 feet wide.
Built it with a worn out (only turns one way) JD 350c and my Kubota. Took about 15 hours of tractor time.
Moved about 600 yards of material, some as far as 50 yards.
The elderly fellow, cut me loose, I suppose he was worried about "not being able to pay" or owing me. It wasn't costing him a dime, but he was reluctant. (He didn't know me, but the neighbor did._)
So all is well there, and I got paid for the canal.

That could be a lot of fun. I've never ran a J-red,... and a damn nice size for firewood too'

My first Jred. Not as nice lookin as a Husky, but same on the inside.
Been Using a 346 so long, this thing seems huge. Be fun though.

Was it a local find? Jred I never see them down here, but wouldn't pass them up if I did.

Local auction, old friend passed a year and a half ago. His wife had a huge a auction Saturday. The saw was bought new in 03 and only used for personal firewood. Should have a lot of life still in it.
There were a few folks looking at it before the sale, they'd pull on the starter rope and put it down real quick. When I looked at it, I noticed the decomp was pushed in. After I looked at it, I left the decomp in.
Comp is fine and the thing runs great. :msp_biggrin:
just as well they didn't notice the decomp. prolly woulda hurt themselves. good on ya. hope you got it for a better-than-market price.

I got it for a fair price. I was standing in the shade (was 92f and 99% humidity) talking with a buddy and said, hold on I gotta go buy that saw. Two minutes later I was back with saw. He said; "dang, you didn't come to bid, you came to buy". I just smiled :msp_biggrin:

Stephen can't pass up any saw. He'll even give a lonely green saw a home...:hmm3grin2orange:
I just got back inside after noodling for about an hour with my 2165 and my 670. The wood I was noodling ranged from 18" to 32" and the 2165 works fine. I have cut much more 24-36" wood this spring than usual because of all the spring storms, and I have been very happy with the 2165. I usually have a 20" bar on it and occassionally have a 24" bar on it. I ran it on a few pieces with a 32" bar but it was not very happy with it.

Guess you won't be needing that "tweener" husky now... I know someone who might take that off your hands for you...:msp_sneaky:

Well, I don't 'need' the Jred either. 346xp is the only one I need, the old one.:msp_biggrin:
Actually, the 'tweener' is probably the best 'pure firewood saw' I've ever used. It's a good bet smaller and lighter the the 2165, but still has grunt.
