Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[dancan]

If I was in big hardwood or softwood lands I'd be sporting a different saw but the trees I have to work with lately and shear volume just don't warrant carting the extra weight around all day .
I've run a 261 and I have some nice running ported 026's but the smoothness , fuel mileage and the the fact that I have no problems lifting a beer after running a saw all day (I'm just a scrawny guy with soft hands) are all factors in what I want to run .
The Elux offering in the same class is polly a good runner as well , I had a 346 but just couldn't warm up to it , maybe the 550/555 would be different but they're a hundred plus more money up here so , not gonna happen LOL
All saws will cut up scrounged wood just fine

Found this a little closer to home. Right in the backyard.

Was going well until I ran out of gas. They are all coming down to make way for some construction early next year.

I don't understand why you would want to run skip on a 20" bar on a 70 cc saw, will just cut slower, even if the engine runs faster.

Loaded the 3rd trailer load from that trunk today, tomorrow we should be splitting all of it.

Do you still swing the fiskars for some of this or do you only use the hydro?

Any of you fellow scroungers want a nice old Dolly 112 project? Had this for sale in the tradin' post awhile back, but it got no love.
Started tearing it down for new crank seals, but since got to working on other stuff.
If you wanna fix it up for a sweet little truck/loner saw, it's yours for the cost of shipping.
Give me a shout.

The little Dolmar is heading to txtroop in Texas. Enjoy brotha!

Well if you have issues someone on here can help. Man the guys over in the brand specific threads in chainsaw stickies have been fantastic during the builds I've done.

This site has helped me a lot already. And threw gas on the fire with my new saw obsession but I've seen many of the same stories on here about that. I've learned more on this site than I could imagine. I'm adopting a bunch of folks on here as second family
