My Son’s New Stihl

[BigV]

My son after using my old Stihl 029 for 5 years decided it was time for his own.
He purchased a new Stihl 039 with 24" bar.
Then he proceeded to try it out in my back yard.
7 trees later....
He say's "it cuts GREAT!"

This should probably be in the "Gear" forum, not the Woodshed.

I think this should be in the Gardening and Landscape Design forum.

Now if I could talk one of my sons into buying a new saw, we have lots of trees they could practice on.

If you are getting the wood anyway. Nice that he split it too.
Good pic!

My apologies, after looking at the saw, it is a 391.

As far as old timers goes… In terms of cutting, splitting and burning I’ve been at it for 40 years so I guess you could say that I am “an old timerâ€. As far as old goes I am still in my prime at 53.

I cut, split and stack all my wood. I never buy wood and I heat my entire house with wood I cut. I have at least a 3 years supply seasoned and stacked and with all the wood my son just cut and split (in addition to rounds I have not split yet) I easily have at least another 3 years supply. I burn 6 to 7 cord of wood a year. My son is the only person that can keep up with me when it comes to cutting, splitting firewood, but he has grown up doing it just like I did.

I recently purchased the house next door and my son move in. Last week we completed installation on a new wood burning stove for him. Looks like he will follow in footsteps of this old timer... I like that!
