Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[MustangMike]

That is about the only time! But keep in mind, I'm up to 7 running saws now, can't use em all at once! Usually the mix goes faster, but if it is under 3 months old, I don't worry about it.

Yes, and now I can remember why I passed on it, 60cc still wasn't nearly enough for my liking. Now, around an 8 ounce version on the other hand....

I know I've seen much bigger versions of these before but like I can remember where. This little guy had medication from the vet's in it, you would have to fill it up nearly 16 times just to get a gallon of 40:1. I only share it give some of you guys an idea, I think it would work slicker than snot if you could find one in a 6 ouncish version.

These are pretty easy, and cheap:

I use one of these:

It's not rocket science to figure out the ratios. It IS rocket science to figure out what is best. I'm not going to claim that I know one bit about what is best and what isn't.

KOG beat me to it Cody. TSC.

Saw this old feller on the interweb for $25. Went and got it, son was selling his dad's old stuff. Came with oil, file a funnel and a couple screnches. Pulled rope a couple times when I got home and it fired right up. So I mixed up some fresh gas and filled the oil tank headed out back to the woodpile and had a freakin ball! This thing runs strong. 16" bar and a couple licks with the file on the old chain and it cut surprisingly well. I just thought it would make a neat wall hanger but it runs so good!

I was looking at the tractor too Ben. what firewood?

 

[JustJeff]

Yeah. That's the neighbors tractor. It's a beast! Mine is 4wd too. But 18hp compared to his gazillions. Lol. I've been cutting up the trees he had pulled down with the excavator. He has been keeping the good logs for milling and some firewood and I get the rest delivered over the fence. Free wood in my backyard and I'm going to cut a bunch of it with that twenty five dollar saw. Lol. I'm in scrounge heaven!

I was going to write a response, but the words can't match the awesome in that post. Lucky man.

My Predator engine showed up today, going to try to get 3 hours break in done and mount it up by week's end. The little 3 horse Briggs is going to find a home on my son's electric RAZR go kart.

Refreshing. So, have we been snookered with marketing into thinking we must have this new, expensive stuff to even be a part time cutter? I understand the full time production guys and "time is money".

 

[Agent Orange]

What's the buddy value on this? I've got a chance to buy it from a buddy after I test run it.

 

[JeffGu]

About $150 if it runs good.

we don't call 180 hp here much less than, "Sir!"... lol.... that is some serious torque! any pix of ur 180 hp diesel tractor? would like to see.....

>Free wood in my backyard and I'm going to cut a bunch of it with that twenty five dollar saw. Lol. I'm in scrounge heaven!

Thanks! I'll give it a trial run and go from there.

It's not just marketing. Look at any thread with a homeowner asking for a saw. Better just be safe and get a 90cc brand new AND don't forget to have it ported.

True dat. I started a post about my tractor supply poulan 5020 and people were telling me I needed a 372. It wasn't until I ran across my 365 (which is close to a 372) that I realized they were right! Or a dolmar 7900 ported or course. Which they don't even sell anymore in Canada. What's with that? All that being said, I have cut a lot of wood with the saws I have.....I just need more saws.
