I'm happy for you!!

I'm down to 3 Stehls and one Husky 12" trim saw...my current favorite.

Nice, I have Stihl’s and a couple Huskies too...

Not like we need it a lot around here. At one time we used fire place. It felt good but seems heater would kick and run also. It was creating a draft and running it at chimney.

I recall one time when I was about 14. We had an ice storm come and knocked electricity out for two weeks. We slept in living room and cooked with fireplace so we could have some hot food.

Send me pics of both and if I and the lady like either one you can bring it to Montrose and I’ll buy it, or trade you hatch green chili’s and frijoles for it....😎

NIce fire place and house!!

Thanks for the offer but too hard to do. Lots of buyers here but "we" need to make the sell decision.

This little Husky 12" has a lot guts and will cut 10" logs if you want but it is only 6 lbs and a one handed operation...great saw but have not had good luck with the 16" - 20" Husky's...Stihl rules!!

I had a 50's era Poulan 20" that was a horse but cut like nothing else...although...it weighed about 20 lbs and would wear you out quickly. I gave it to a museum for a logging display.

Sounds like your Husky 12” is an arborist saw. That’s what I have on the Talon. Light an handy as can be if pricey.

Yep, as was the old Homelite’s.
I had a stellar Jonsored too but couldn’t get parts for service and had to give it up.

 

[Montecresto]

Ok lr, it was more of a joke in fun, I didn’t really expect you would bring me a stove....😂😂

 

[Montecresto]

Very nice. You could do that for a living.

I do. At the ranch in Oklahoma the house is exclusively heated by wood, and the cook stove is an old wood burner...👍

 

[Montecresto]

A good friend here, burner wood, soft wood, in his Vermount stove everyday, and before work he'd turn it down and go to work. one day he was late and when he came, he said his chimney caught fire. He sold the stove and went to propane. After a couple years he went back to wood. Hardwood. Propane is tooo expensive here.
Save your woodstove, just incase

Exactly! I have a similar holder thingy on my ATV. Lately I have been carrying the battery sawsall and a 9" wood blades. Works just as well and it doesn't let anyone or thing know you are there.
Is that chest bear proof?

And so goes the Olympic as well.

I am considering going with a 12” battery pack chainsaw, but a bit concerned about always having a fully hot battery or two when we ride, which is often and rare that I don’t need a chainsaw....

Yes, everything I own is bear proof.....😉

My dad used to say 3 times, once when you cut it, again when you split and stack it and finally when you burn it

I have a new Stihl 250, an older Husky and a Poulan 14” for on the bike. Don’t really care what happens to that. I also have a Mini Mac 110. 10” I need a few things, that I can’t get, but it was a great trail saw. I think I have two or three of them. Probably got enough to put one back together. But don’t really need it. I do like the new 250.
I had a Husky I used in the woods cutting big black spruce for a whole year. I think it was a 61 or 65 ? She would scream. A little heavy though. Did a lot of cutting with it.
I laugh at my brother telling me how to cut a tree when he just took a chainsaw course last year. My dad got our first chainsaw in 73. And he said hears a chainsaw, go cut wood for the camp. haha. I couldn’t imagine giving my 13 year old a chainsaw and say go cut some wood. Nobody to teach me. And yes I still have all my body parts.

Started out at 25* and it will be a high of 60* today with blue sky and sunshine ☀️

Mid week cold front with rainfall.

I have about had enough of cold rainy weather. But, not saying anything. Because 2 weeks from now we could be 90.

I went bear looking about 5 years ago way up the mountain and hunted all day...no bear. On the way out an 8" fir tree had fallen across the road at some point during the day. Well below freezing and the wind was blowing hard which I guess is what brought the tree down. Too damn cold to fool with it then so I slept in the back seat of the F 250 and used a chain to move the tree the next morning. Better idea than cutting...but still good to have a saw just in case.
