Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[svk]

Since I’m going to be getting rid of a few of my saws for the Zogger fundraiser I ordered a new Husqvarna 130 on spike60’s recommendation. Will do muffler mod and timing advance after getting a baseline.

Bob is a great guy, but what is a 130???

The new improved 40 cc (technically 38.9 cc) saw from Husky that is a whole new design from the current (poorly designed) 240/120 that melts down when it gets hot.

Another load of noodled wood stacked. 2 more loads of rounds then 1 load of limbs we haven’t been able to get to until all the rounds were out of the way.

I started a listing for the 6401 for the Zogger auction. Under chainsaw thread, Zogger Benefit Auction Makita 6401.

Sounds nice, what does it weigh? Both companies seem to be coming out with some nice saws lately.

We need a central listing, updated, and with links, with all of these Zogger threads.

Dropped a good size Sugar Maple today, 30" at the base. Double tied it to ensure it would fall the right way. Brought 8 saws, used 5 of them. Luckily, tried to bring 2 of each size, cause the one 660 hit some stuff, so I just started using another! Yard Trees!!!

Started at 9:00, was packing my stuff away by 12:30, included tying, dropping, bucking and limbing. The owners dragged the brush away and get the wood.

Also delivered this 1/2 cord of Mostly Oak and Hickory earlier this week, then spent too much time chasing down the gremlins with my trailer lights (but they work now).

This new truck tells you when they have a problem, which can be annoying when they saw "OK", not OK, OK not OK, etc!!!

Turned out to be the ground … 1st a matter of just re connecting the ground wire, then I needed to connect it to another location.

We will have one shortly...!

10 and a quarter. So not a lot less than the 50 cc saws but price is half.

Brought the last of the rounds home tonight. Have to go back for 3-4 limbs that are now accessible.

Have to give our Aussie brothers credit for going out and scrounging wood. With things like this running loose I’ld probably never leave the house.

Some days go like this. Rotten old tree and tired old guy. Just started to cut it and it was so rotten that the wind bound the saw so I just pushed it over. And a beautiful cedar. And it's all likely going to rot where I'm piling it in the bush. How do you like that backcut?

Had some help on site yesterday near the highway. Have about 25 big trees left to go and maybe 50 smaller ones. I can at least see the end of it. We got the foundation hole dug and the well drilled yesterday.

Finally done noodling and stacking. All the wood came from those 2 oaks. Rows are 8’ deep and 4 1/2’ to 6’ high. That 7900 is my favorite noodling Saw. Forgot to add that all the big limbs from the second tree went to Wayne’s, there’s a big pile there.
