Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[mountainguyed67]

If the idle just seemed to pick up with out changing any settings, keep an eye on it. That's how I found AS. I had several Oak logs on the ground to buck up to finish the job. I only took one of my Super 1050's. First log went fine, as I was walking over to the other log I noticed the idle seemed a little high, enough that it was spinning the chain. Made a few cuts and as I moved to the next one the idle was picking up more. From racing cars, I knew I was sucking air somewhere, I didn't know, at the time, that running a 2 stroke lean would kill it quick. Got the last cut finished. The next day the saw wouldn't start. Found AS and someone said to check the P/C. Sure enough, the rings were melted into the piston.
Learned an expensive lesson, don't run them lean and always have a back up.

Where was it sucking air at?

calling cooked beans “soup beans”.

I haven’t heard that before.

My wife and I Stihl argue about eaves troughs and rain gutters. I didn't have a clue when she first said eaves troughs.

I only recently heard troughs used to describe rain gutters, it was a Canadian in a YouTube video. It hadn’t occurred to me they would have more than one name.

Nice work Nate, gonna need to see some pictures of those stumps though .
Awesome you got to keep the wood, how many trailer loads you get out of there.

Thanks! Yeah, lol. Haven’t hauled wood off yet, I’ll let ya know though, guessing close to 3 loads

Terminology and how one word can mean different things

We had some church youth come out to help move branches we cut after a tornado. I asked them how they felt becoming 'drag queens' . . .

Four wheeler!!

 

[mountainguyed67]

Apparently in the UK they call them quad bikes.

Here, the people who drive Jeeps, Toyotas, etc on 4WD trails are “Four wheelers”.

I call this "firewood", not sure what you guys call it in your region of the country/world. Sometimes referred to as "fire wood" here also. Uncommonly known as "wood" but that often confuses some to believe it is brush, pallets, old fencing, construction debris (including drywall, plastic, and metal), or anything made from a tree or a wood-like substance.

This is firewood.

This is firewood.

So is this, and I HATE splitting on the ground or having to bend over and pick it up to split or stack it!! SO, I split into 1/2 cord boxes and also this self unloading "firewood hauler"... lol

Once it starts piling up, you turn on the drag chain and move the load back,

and keep splitting until you have the spreader loaded!

BTW, I filled my last half cord box, before I moved the spreader into place!

NOW, it's off to the sawmill I go, for tomorrows adventure...

Quads are Darwin's vehicle of natural selection.

Not sure what the flower is, but you have Chestnut Oaks in the background of the last pic.

I was splitting some wood with the Hydro late this afternoon and I noticed a little scratch in my hydraulic oil filter that is leaking.

Are these the same as car oil filters? If so, anyone know the match up for a Countyline 22 Ton splitter filter (TSC 1822617?)
