Stihl's #1 selling series of all time was that 1127 series of saws..
029. 039. 310, and so on..

Yep they are everywhere you look. My daughter is working in the non ferrous at our local scrapyard and bough a scored 290 the other day off a guy for 20$ bill. I put a new set of rings and crank seals in it last night and we cut a trailer load of posts with it today. Reliable old boat anchors they are!

trying to get a bunch of stuff fixed, I got some fairly big tree jobs, i have to be careful with my back, and take my time
but being for my dad I can only do what he has set out to be cut so far, limited wood warfare so far

That's what I gave the tree service guy per power head. Selling them 225 a wack with new bar/chain after rehabilitation. Except one I put in a 65cc China engine just for grins.

Here is my plunder from yesterday. It is Western Soapberry. I unloaded it at the house to split and burn in a couple years. Anybody ever burned any?

 

[SteveSS]

That'll burn for a couple weeks, Thomas. Nice haul!

morning fellas!

I do not think so. They do share the same habitat. In fact, the fence row I am cutting from is about 85% soapberry and 10% hackberry. I started a thread in the firewood section. Our very own SteveSS figured out what it was.

The only thing I could find on firewood says it is easy to split and excellent fuel, grouping it with various oaks, ironwood, locust, mulberry, sugar maple, etc. It is HEAVY, but cuts easier than any other hardwoods, or my chain sharpening skills are improving.

The berries are poisonous. My dog ate some and got sick as a dog The indians (and others) used the berries to make soap; and made arrows from the wood. The berries do have some medicinal value too. These trees are on a river bottom within a couple hundred yards of the Arkansas River.
