Me and the boys split, stacked, cleaned up the mess, and sold 1.33 cord today of some red oak. The guy saw me haul it in a month ago. Before I could get it off my trailer he said he wanted all of it. I told him it is green; he said "I don't care". I think I am going up a little on my cord prices next year. What do you guys get for a cord--picked up, not delivered?

$150 a cord picked up..

 

[Locust Cutter]

I don't do picked up as everyone I sell to is in Wichita... To them it's $200 delivered/stacked, but the price will be going up soon with gas and tire prices being what they are and the human wear and tear...

That is what I am getting too. Thinking of going up to $165 next year.

That is what I quote for a delivered price--unstacked. I tell them I don't stack. If it was an elderly or disabled person of course i would stack it---for free. The bold/italicized part is why I am going up.

I've gotten to the point I only sell to those I know and like...
They know it's here, and get some if needed.. Otherwise, when it hits my barn, I'm hoarding it...
I only deliver hedge to one fellow 25 miles from here who burns 14-15 cord a year in a giant boiler...
But he takes the stuff un split and 2' long, so sorta special circumstances there.. Plus I like the guy...

Morning folks, went to the local consignment auction yesterday evening, no joy. I think I will go set on the porch and enjoy my coffee and the cool breeze before it warms up. Have a good one.

Holy cow!

Spent yesterday afternoon working on an MS191T and an MS192T for a friend. The 192 wasn't too bad to work on but the 191 was a terror. Reminded me of a Minimac. Holy cow!

Fellow in Olathe I got my Mighty Mite Bantam III from has had a 360 on there for 90 USD. On for several weeks.

I have Jim's 360 parts carcass in a box out in the garage. (Jim's offsite storage unit). Ha!

That I dislike working on those 019 series saws is putting it mildly, even the Stihl dealers hate them. Minimacs are a cake walk compared to those abortions. That said, most top handle saws aren't tech friendly to work on, rant's over carry on.

I don't remember that saw, remind to pick it up, like I really need it.

I wanted to pull the muffler off to check for scoring, but it looks like you have to disassemble the saw to do that. I'd rather try and solve a Rubick's cube first.

You do have to disassemble the saw to remove the muffler, at least they rectified that with the 192. If you want some more hands on experience, I can send you a couple more to practice on.

I would take them in order to learn them better. These 2 were brought to me to check out and service them. They were given to my friend in order to get started on a plan she has and they actually run. I wound up taking them apart only enough to clean years of gunk buildup out of them. I'll probably put new plugs in them and prepare them for long term storage and give them back. For the purpose they are to be used for I would rather her have small rear handle saws rather than top handle ones. While top handle saws have their place, I just think rear handle saws are easier to use.

It's not going anywhere and takes up minimal space. Besides somewhere down the road I may need something to do, like, fix the fuel tank, carb. boot and find a carb. for it etc..

If you get that hard up for a project, I have a lot of better saws to work on.

Yee ha, my 440 was the fastest saw in the woods today.

Edit: Ok fine it was the only saw in the woods. LOL

 

[Locust Cutter]

Did make a pile of gtg fodder today though...

So Matt, how bad is that truck on fuel? I've been thinking about something like it (dump) but can't decide if a diesel is worth the $$$ or not.
