24" 3/8 full chiz skip on the 064. Rocked the chain out once, pretty common in yardbirds, but oh well.Some nice size oak, what length bar did you use?

Amateur,
Rookie question. What does "rocked the chain out" mean?
That's a nice one, AC. You gotta get a big bar, makes the big ones funner! We're doing a big Norway maple tommorow, gonna be a little technical but I like 'emthe that way. I like seeing the splitter on the jobsite, that's usually how we do it too!
That's bad.....25 Dennis demeritsLooking @ an 066 big bore saw with a 36" bar, just trying to get the guy to get off it. 100.6 cc oughta do it I think. Yes the splitter is the only way to go, I cut/noodled those big rounds into 1/8ths, & they were still 100+ pounds, 1 or 2 I'll carry to the trailer, 20+ not a chance. Pull the splitter to em is the only way. Forgot my milk crate though.
Noooooooo............ not Dennis demerits.That's bad.....25 Dennis demerits

I absolutely love mine (Stihl). ear protection, face shield that doesn't fog up and a hat all in one. Much handier, less trouble than 3 different PPE. I don't like the ear and face shields and only wear them when I am actually cutting, With the helmet, both just easily flip out of the way when I don't need them. I bought the same for my son and he scoffed at it until he used it. Now he loves it. We will see what AC thinks.AC, your photos look like OSHA" How To" pictures. Hard hat, chaps, eye pro, ear pro, face shield...I cant tell tell but I bet those are steel-toed boots? Well played. I try to always wear eye and ear pro, and most times I remember the chaps, but I haven't sprung for the hard hat-face shield. How do you like it? Is that one from Stihl ?
He he he he, ummmmm no. Yea that's me in the fence rows, next time we go back I'll shoot some pics of that property too. ( Finally got my camera back ). That fence row job is longer term, like the next couple decades, we got the two pastures cleared of the tops from the logger, now it's a matter of clearing back to the fences one field at a time. About 15 25 to 40 acre pastures & fields to do.Hey AC are you all done cutting on the fence rows (I think that was you right?). I was surprised to see pics in a yard and not in a farm field. Course you got the fever too.

Those big bars rob a lot of power and are rarely needed. As you allready Know a 24 " bar will do a 48" tree.
That looks like a pretty solid tree, at least the trunk. Was the top bad? Why did it get cut?
Might be fun to tackle a tree that size once, nothing but cottonwood get that big in my area.
Lots of BTUs there.
Nice set up with the saw , splitter & haulers, Great pics.
Good job!
Don't know till you ask Worst thing they can do is say "no"Here's some nice candidate fuel that's been laying around for over a month, about a mile from my house near some new home construction. The largest part of section on the right is about 5' in diameter, the smaller section to left about 3'. I'm not sure what type. Red Oak? My Husky 445 (18" bar) could handle most of what's there, except for the biggest part. I'm thinking about asking if I could have at it. -- Mike
