Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

>All depends what you are looking for.

yep! just like in life... all depends what you are looking for....

Or like a lot of us you bounce back and forth between the two threads.

I'll be even more distracted while at work. Everyone who sees me at my desk looking at saws and on the forums say I'm looking at chainsaw pern

It's nothing special but more saws the better.

Just found out that the neighbor up the street is a saw junkie as well he has 9 saws and almost picked up an 088 just because. He burns camp fire wood. He just likes all things with a motor.

I have a few saws. I also cut split and sell firewood.

I also work on a tree companies chainsaws when they need fixing.

I'm a mechanical designer by day. Married have children. Drink beer. Pretty 'merican.

Yep.

Awesome collection. Pretty American to me. Do you hunt and fish as well?

ha, how true! I wish my steps were just built, more so - project in progress. but, imo... the hard part is done. even with its lowly power of 180 hp... WN's tractor could have pulled yours the two trucks... and itself... out of the bog! lol

did anybody say how many hp in the neighbor's tractor. my bet is... clearly out of the compact class!!! lol...

Thanks some of those saws aren't mine. And some of my saws aren't shown. I fish but not much of a hunter.

Do your boys fish? You guys should come to the cabin some time.

I know that I am in the right place. I have eight running saws and I thought they were excessive. Stihl 011 to 090 and some MS, but husky's are much more easy to get parts. It takes a whole morning or afternoon to order a bar stud. Just got two new husky's. My Kubota has 160 HP and considering putting a turbo charger on it. When near sea level it runs like it is on steroids, but more than 6,000 feet it is sluggish. Plenty of HP is a good thing.

Scrounged up a few pine logs, had to remove a couple trees so I can get dirt away from the old shop and repair the walls. Sure do like the new 576 xp at.

Right Size, wrong color.

Here's my oldest supervising while I tinker on our Farmall (120 HP)

And here's my 84 Y.O. grandfather putting more hay down, in a lower gear, than us young guys, on the Allis Chalmers (100 HP):

That's awesome!

Here is all 18 hp with a bucket full of btu's. Approx 26 hp if you count the saws. Lol. Cloudy day gave way to a pretty evening, cool wind made for perfect cutting weather. 1/4 turn of the screwdriver got the 365 running pretty sweet (starts easier too) and cut a fair bit with the old homie. This stupid thing amazes me with the torque. It's not that much slower than the husky, just different. It lugs and growls and big ole corn chips come out where the husky is all about chain speed.

Got the Predator on the splitter. I've got a couple new hoses and fittings to install tomorrow.

If I switch to 1/2" lines down from 3/4" on the pump to valve and from valve to cylinder out what's going to change? Higher pressure? More load on the engine?

I'm just guessing, but I would think it would slow things down. IMO, the smaller diameter line will flow less fluid, which will move the piston more slowly and with less power. I could be wrong, but that is my guess. I'm equating it to water lines in the house.
