Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[rarefish383]

Along with the yardsale Ryobi I also scrounged up a nice 2 1/4 lbs Wetterlings ax fo 5$, I got it hafted Sunday evening , shaved down the haft to my liking this evening .

Ready for a coat of linseed oil

I have several old ax blades, some very nice ones, but with the arthritis in my thumbs I just hate trying to hang them. Nice job there, Joe.

Couldn't agree more chipper1. I see it going to waste in places I'd get all kinds of tickets if I stopped

It's such a waste Phil, I hate to see it.

Plenty of ash down here also. I cant cut it fast enough.

Same here, mostly though it's that they won't let you cut it, so sad.
Not that I would cut it anyway, I have a good bit of wood still even after such a rough winter LOL.

 

[chipper1]

It's a verified disorder. There is never enough wood.


Sent from a field

You know something about that problem neighbor.

 

[chipper1]

You need a couple different colors in there for diversity!

That was my first though too.

I do have one that is a different color, and lots of different models. 026, 360, 362, 044, 440, Hybrid 044/046, 046, 460 (2) and 066 (2).

Sounds like a lot of different stuff to me, and all except the run the same B&C!

Need more orange Mike .

Another load of Black Locust with a few Black Cherry pieces, and my 4-12' Locust posts.

Locust.

Good, all around saw.

I have the 353 which I believe is its predecessor (in Husqvarna's weird way of numbering saws).

If you had to dump 29 saws, and keep one for 'all around use', this is the one I would suggest.

I feel like the troll on this one Philbert .
The 550xp is the pro version and would be comparable to/the replacement for the 346xp ne.
Where as the 353 is a mag case just as the 346xp, but not the pro version(although it's one of my favs as is the 2152 the jred version of the 353).
The 545 would be more comparable to the 353 in that aspect, similar to the 555 is the downgraded version(non pro) of the 562xp.

 

[chipper1]

looks good guys. guess i should have been there for the plunge cut class.

Rev it up and stick it in there Steve .

I had a good time yesterday James Miller / Farmer Steve and Brother Bud .

Looks like a great time.
It's great your able to teach these guys a bit, sure which I had someone to teach me here .
Thanks God for this site and youtube .

Yes my wife needs a new saw

The 550xp . . .would be comparable to/the replacement for the 346xp ne. . . .

The 545 would be more comparable to the 353 , , .

Thanks. I have trouble keeping up when they change the numbers like that.

Much easier when they go from '272' to '372', or from '260' to '261'.

Listen to chipper1 Uncle MustangMike, you need a all ORANGE saw. We need to find you a 262xp next....

I hear that, but I didn't know husky wad a 260, just a 261 and 262 .
But mabybyou are talking about a stihl ms260, or a ms261, but which version of the 261, standard, cm, cm revised .
It sure can be hard to remember them all.
I figure the more of them I personally own the better off I'll be in remembering them .

I did have one, but I gave it to someone!!! Kinda redundant, what with having a ported MS360 and Ported MS362.

 

[MechanicMatt]

Not redundant, improvement. You know those two stihls can't keep up with a ported 262

 

[MechanicMatt]

Isn't the orange saw lighter too

G'day boys,

This wasn't a scrounge for me so I'm not sure if it counts but I slipped out to the Lady Farm Wednesday morning. Since the handover has been put back a bit further, she was going to run out of wood so I cut a couple of dead peppermints to keep her going a bit longer. She helped by coming out and tossing bits in the trailer but couldn't keep up with the split production, Stihl swingin', Fiskars flingin' machine that I am (or would like to think I am). A couple of trailer loads with some still to go if she gets short.



The Bobdog came out for a run as well.

That's why I like my old Homelites, didn't have all those numbers to get confused by. Just had good common sense names like a "Zip" or a "Wiz", and if you get lucky you can get a "Super Wiz", Joe.

No, & No

 

[MustangMike]

No again, in fact, I think the 262 is the heaviest of the 3 (the 360 the lightest).

 

[nomad_archer]

You guys are too funny. I am equal opportunity. I like all saws. My personal favorite is my 365xt. It did a nice job last week with the 28" bar burried it that log. It made cutting up what would have been a big pain with a my smaller saws. Run what ya like boys. I have say my favorite non 70cc saw right now is @farmer steve 's MS241. He better put lock that saw up its so sweet. That saw should take a long vacation with my saw collection.

 

[svk]

I like most of my saws but I love my 550.

A few I'd prefer to use as anchors but I'm saving to give away when people need something.

 

[SeMoTony]

Not if both hands still work since that is less than 70 cc saw. Popeye could do the deal with both hands & 046 stihl on his cartoon tho

m a few daze late again,but there is my plate w/b that I "won" @ auction $10. And the wood I got out of yard waste dump over weekend. Only open 3 daze. But then last night I stopped & looked @ and what ever is waste from milling will end up heating my shed. Not sposed to work off ladder,but cutting shorts with tree in between worked before the rain showed up fell @ 90 degreethe one ladder is against might be too thick for the 14" ms-170 & too far away to reach EZ
Volunteer fire man stopped to tell me might want to move my van if I was drpping that tree with a 14" bar and a ladder leaned against said tree. I thanked him for the care but told him I was getting wet & C ya!
More should come if rain isn't falling Sunday afternoon. Stay safe and enjoy
