Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

Ambull. I only have 10 acres and I let a neighbour use 6 acres of it or I would cover it with "projects" too. I'm in the dream building business. This is what I do.

Oh, that's the reason for 20 trailers. That looks easy, just stack them up like Lego's. That dude in the bottom pic needs a shirt or some sunscreen BTW. Looks sunburned. Had no idea you could get sunburned in Canada.

A long time ago I remember my 60' Ranch came in two pieces!

That's the Company I work for, they have about 20 trailers too but they are bigger than mine. My wife runs a grass cutting business and to make it easier for her I built trailers for pretty much every type of job she has to do. From 8' flatbeds for 1 mower to 20 ' flatbeds that haul 3 at a time and everything in between.

You just gotta get some more pickup trucks man, leave the trailer attached, no need to unhook.

I would kill for the second one. Don't know how I would pull it though lol

Ambull, I usually started with old camper trailers and beefed them up. I have a newer car hauler too and a heavy one for my backhoe and one for Monday, one for Tuesday and a couple more for other days of the week.
We used to use a cube van. Now a buddy uses it for firewood storage.

So you're saying trailers are for you what shoes are for women? Have to coordinate and wear different shoes everyday. My, my. Must be nice being king of the scroungers.

Good luck tomorrow Ambull. Don't try to do it all in one day, and be safe.

 

[MechanicMatt]

Yes be safe! That makita is going to be double as powerfull as your homelite. My guess is soon you'll forget all about ole33cc and grab a second real saw. Just remember that makita can kill you in a instant, respect her, your playing with a big boy saw now. Enjoy!

 

[Ambull01]

Thanks, will do. I have the saw all apart right now lol. I'm going to ensure the carb is clean before I run fuel through it. Don't ask me why.

I know, pretty pathetic isn't it. Guys on here with 80cc and this Makita is twice as big as the only chainsaw I've ever ran. Man I'm a dork.

Should've bought a PP5020.

Can't beat that price though. I hear all the really smart people use them, like CTYank.

Koool-aid......

Oh svk, hopefully you can help me real quick. Is there any special precautions/dangers of removing the thingy that the piston and cylinder resides in? I don't know the damn name for it lol

ha! I out dork you, 23CC saw! I cut for years with only an electric plug in and a 30 something CC saw, ten or twenty dollar used saws.

Anyway, that 23cc was my first saw, gear drive to boot with a left side suicide bar and a thumb trigger... I sorta over revved it a little one day trying out model airplane fuel in it..nitromethane.....I think it hit..mm..50 thou RPM putting out 100 horse when I buried the bar into a gravel parking lot to stop it...seemed like it anyway. Cut firewood to sell with it, and thousands of fence posts, it paid for itself many times over...

No way, you can't cut firewood with a 23cc!! That's a cool saw dude, I want one. So I know why you used model airplane fuel, it has a model airplane engine lol.

BTW, that Acres site has to be wrong. It says the 6421 was introduced in 2013. Can't be possible since HDs are selling their older saws.
