chain saws !splittin wood the old way ! Good ole outdoor fire!

Since you are not concerned with maximum production in least amount of time I would say that an echo would be cheaper for the purpose, but I think the ms193 matches about even in price.

 

I looked at weight to.Didnt want a real heavy saw which is another reason I got the 271.its a 50 cc saw and plenty big enough to get the job done for me.Not extremely heavy but just about right .If I made my living cutting tree's I would actually have 3 saws.Big , med, and a small .Big saws just to big for small to med size jobs and no use in making it harder on your back.I actually work for a John Deere dealership andwe deal in skidders, cutters, loaders, doziers, chippers etc.No farm tractors.I talk to alot of professional loggers on a daily basis.I could actually quit my job tomorrow and go to work for a number of them.But I listen to what they tell me and all said don't get a saw bigger than what you need it for.

 

I work with a guy who has over 50 yrs exeperienc in cutting with chainsaws and chwinsaw repair.He is a mechanic but he heats his home with wood.He is a small engines genious .He works on all my small engines when I need it and won't take money lol.stubborn but I do help him out also when he needs it.

 

Old photo I found.A friend of mine says this photo was taken in Euing Michigan.

 

Ewin Michigan ..my bad.

 

I do see your point Babel and its a good one.I just don't cut enough to justify comercial grade.And I feel the saw I bought will last me.I'm 47 .

 

Grew up with a wood stove n if it's my way I'll die living somewhere with one. All the preparation and work makes it something special about that fire heating your home.

 

slim how would you have liked this axe as a kid.Called a leveraxe .300 bucks though lol..Design is awsome though.

 

This is a pic of it.When u first look u say how does this dam thing split wood ? Lol very effective

 

Idk what I like better.. that axe, or his tire setup.

 

It takes a little talent to burn logs.a hot fire to.

 

Semi rim slim and I welded a brake drum to the bottom to get it off the ground.it sits on a concrete slab which was my old carport.Use to have a house trailor here and I built a house behind it.Carport slab is where I have my wood and my fire rim.This summer I am gone build some metal racks for my firewood, I can get the wood off the ground and blow the leaves out from under the wood with my blower .it will be nice when I'm finished.

 

I bet that works nice.Fire needs oxygen.

 

Couple ribeyes in the back for me and the lady.Couple sirloin up front and ill make strips tomorrow out of them for fajitas.
