CasyForest: If you are splitting that small you really might want to try my SSHD.

Sounds like you need a right hand man.....

Not everything is that small. I do about 50/50 so I can stuff the stove full for overnighters. Smaller stuff is for filling the gaps.

Wow great pictures.

Not many bears up by my cabin anymore. The wolves eat them in the winter if they can find their den (no that's not a joke). Place is overrun with wolves but moose, deer, and to some point bear continue to decline.

YIKES!!!
Some bad@#$ wolves huh or do they just quadruple team the bear and rip em to shreds?

They travel in packs. Sometimes a dozen or more. And attacking a hibernating animal isn't much of a fight especially if it's a little one.

One more rack to go. Had a new enclosure installed to keep the weather off. Can get racks 20ft x 7 ft high in the center. I like drive thru unloading.

Just buy a 32 or 36 inch bar and chain for the occasional large tree.
You got quite a load there.

will husky 268 pull a 32 inch or 36 inch bar and chain? they don't seem to make longer than 28 inches for my 362XP. what groove width on long bars? .050, .058, .063?

Well if absolutely needed it could with skip chain but I wouldn't run more than 28" and even then you are pushing it for that saw.

If over 28" its preferable to have .063 but again for occasional use any width will work.

 

[briantutt]

I have not cut a lot with the 268 but it has more ccs than the 362XP but the 362XP is faster RPMs. The 24 inch stays on it all the time for felling trees. Get on out and get the tree down. Maybe I will get a 28 inch for that rather than something even longer on the 268.

What are the cc's for that 268?

 

[briantutt]

67 for the 268, 62 for the 362XP

Ok. TY. 28" would probably be the max bar. If you went to 32, you probably would need a full skip chain.

 

[briantutt]

thanks guys, a 28 it is

Finally got caught up on getting all of my rounds split and stacked today. Now I have to cut more rounds. 3 years ahead and trying to stay that way.

impressive, I would love to be that far ahead. Decoy buddy coming tomorrow to help me for a few hours. Maybe we can pull out 2 loads.

I looked into one like that Versa Building I think. A 20ft deep, 40ft across, 12ft tall walls was $12k. 50lb snow load, 150mph wind. (yeah, we get 100 mph winds in the winter!) I didn't think that was too bad. Would be to roof in my processor.
