Sounds like a great time Jay! Get a plan together before you start cutting. So you can work safe and get in and out without blocking yourselves (been there done that). You will want to have your trials set up so if you have to come back in a week or two for more and it snows you don't hit a stump and hurt you vehicles. I knocked the oil filter off my uncles 255 massy loader tractor once on a stump and the other time pushing limbs into the woods. Its hard to push the clutch in when there's hot engine oil spraying on the clutch and your leg! Be safe I wish I could be out there with you!

Oh, I was running landscap crew's trimming tree back in the middle 80's(15 year run). MMaul and I will do all the felling. Just need to place two bucker's and one on the splitter.
I have 2 on the splitter now. Needing 1
In case it isn't loud enough I will bring a mccullough sp60 along. It's still fun though slow and heavy.
Bocefus78 said:
Nice! That will be fun..Your running a 361 right? And how long you been running saws?
Yes...and ms180 limber. Honestly got into saws just 2 years ago.thats why I'm not into felling just yet.
Bocefus78 said:
Ok, You are going to be a bucker! Bring them ready to go chains sharp gas oil and clean air filters wedges. If you want to drop a few for the experience I will walk you through every step. Thats how MMAUL Started.
You guys are making me jealous. This sounds like more of a party than work. And I like to party more than work.

Not gonna happen Jay. I was so interested that I checked into it and it is a 300 mile 5 hr trip - one way. 300 miles pulling my trailer w/log splitter will drink enough dino wine that I could buy a half cord delivered. :lol:
600 miles and 10 hours of drive ain't something I want to tack onto a busy day of making firewood. (and I HAVE to be back on Mon.)
I'll drop some w. Some help. Heck yea. I'm getting all my stuff gathered right now. Stupid new smartphone and this thread is holding me up.
Lol.
Lol.
