Getting ready to gear up for wood season, excited to get the saws going. Got me a new scrounging rig

Probably should be in Craig List laughs.

Today was a really nice sunny/warm day and a firewood day! My friend came over and we cut/skidded oak and elm,

It takes a lot of work out of firewood, cutting over a wagon,

And with the wagon loaded, we headed home,

We also split the whole load, so it was a very good firewood day!

Kolve chain did not have carbide teeth, but ‘Y’-shaped scoring teeth, in addition to traditional cutters. This is similar in some ways to specialty ripping chain. There were a few different variations / configurations of it.

the 28" bar is really only a 27" bar

The way I remember it no bars give the full length.

So I think part of that then is probably to make a phone call to the local Stihl dealer in your area and see if they have the capability to work on the 500I. Allot of times if they don't sell allot of the newer ones or those models the location wont spend the money to send their techs to get the training on them. So I think that would be a huge factor in your being happy with it that you have the help in town to be able to utilize that no fuss aspect of the saw. If they don't service them and the nearest dealer that works on 500I in your area is an hour away I would run with the cash in hand.

Very good advice, I’m in my shop 2-3 times a week. I’ll ask next time in there.

If I had a wheel barrow, I’d pay some one $50 to take it away.

Really nice truck muad! And neat deer Mike.

Took the recently repaired truck to town today and it died in town. Obviously a different issue than the cam replacement. Kind of pissed me off because I was trying to get home take my son duckhunting as it’s youth waterfowl weekend. Got home and it’s starting to rain. Finally got out later and my son ended up getting four mallards which was a lot of fun to watch.

Yes it is . Wasn’t for sale I used it to run a fan . View attachment 1008707View attachment 1008708
Not a fan of the a OBS body style . But that one is a nice one . I’d look at it if it were closer

That’s a nice little Genny, sir.

Little scrounging in Glacier NP this week

It's been about 15 years since I went to Glacier. I've been to Yellowstone and Grand Teton, but Glacier NP is probably the best out of the 3 IMO. Yellowstone gets all the publicity and fame, but Glacier is the one to visit.

The historic lodges alone are worth the visit...now I want to go back!

 

[Be Stihl]

Well fall is here and it’s scrounging season. I bought a new firewood acquisition tool to add to the arsenal, MS400. I figured it was the obvious next step in my 3 saw plan. 33cc, 50cc, now 67cc. I had a hard time justifying a bigger saw than the 261, cause it does everything well. But I guess I wanted to see what the hype was all about, hopefully it brings big smiles in 20” hardwoods. Should also make noodling a little more effortless.
