Glad I don't live here. Just starting to cool off on Mt Washington. The all time record wind speed here was 231 MPH.

No trailer yet so can't bring the tractor. Can bring Mule if needed. Or a little splitter.

Go ahead and bring the mule. Looks like we will do this one with UTV's.
Which is ok. Any kind of equipment is good.
Thomas, if you can get the Kubota again, that would be great.
I want to apologize to everyone because I asked for specific equipment. This is all volunteer on your part and everyone has been more than generous with what can be brought. I've never asked for specific equipment in the past. I shouldn't have done so this time. The important part is that everyone is able to come and help me do this work.
I can't say enough how grateful I am for everyone's friendship.

HACK
Sometimes a project will lend itself to heavy machine work, and sometimes it just warrants some good ole elbow grease...
This sounds like one of those cuts where it pays to be nimble and mobile...
Does Ed have a place nearby he can securely store the finished product? Or will he have to make deliveries as we split and fill?

You're ok Steve! I will bring what I can when the time comes, just can't commit until a few days before. Sometimes I feel real lucky just to be able to drag myself along to these cuts!
No need to apologize. I will bring the Kubota. If i can get somebody else to come (to tow splitter) or get a large enough trailer to haul both, I will bring the splitter too. Do you think we need my splitter?

HACK
I can bring mine if need be... If we're scrounging and sorta cleaning up the woods, I'd think it can keep up with a couple utv's hauling in loads. We'll have Steve's there too.
Got one of the MS290 running. But, no cutting as I see the only serviceable bar/chain is 3/8". The saw is .325" x 8 on the spur/drum.
No wonder the drivers looked funny.

Get the 024 in wood yet. I just got finished cutting all the upper limbs of the Honey Locust using my 024s. Lost a fuel cap to one form. I want to find some Orange ones like Stihl used on some of their saws., OEM.if I can find some. The one I lost was black, if it was Orange I might of found it.
The Honey Locust is looking good. There's an 8 foot trunk about 18 inches around and another splitting off that's a bit smaller. I want to mill them as long as possible, problems gonna be loading them.

It's next on the turnaround. At least it has the correct bar/chain on him.
I'll have to buy a .325" bar/chain to test cut with the the 290's and 310.
Anybody got a recommend, cheap?

Bailey's or one of the other sponsors should have cheap combos. Or maybe an Oregon combo from a big box store if you want to get right to it?
If I was in your area I'd just drop one by. I seem to have accumulated quite a few .325 bars, mostly 16 inch.

Guys, me being a newbie here I personally am impressed with what workshop has done on this site with the charity cuts. Also the response to his call to come and help is awesome also. You all are a great bunch of guys I can tell and I am looking forward to meeting each and every one of you at the charity cut.

I'd like to make one to help out and meet the guys too. With the distance and current finances, I won't make this one but I hope to make one down the road.
Workshop, how do you find the folks in need? Do some states have lists? I have a quarter section north of Hays KS that has a little timber. Not much hardwood and the trees I've seen down are mostly softwood but there are some giants among them. Nothing I'd take home for the stove but it might be good for folks who have nothing else.
