posifour11 723 #29 Posted November 29, 2017 I'm cutting standing dead for this year since we just got to the new place. I'm slowly working on next year's supply. The VA is giving me an epidural nerve block in a couple weeks, so I should be getting a bigger pile soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Better off buying wood than having surgery because you weren't cautious. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ClassicTractorProfessor 5,261 #34 Posted May 27, 2018 Nice splitter setup Eric...is it just the angle playing tricks on me or are those front tires on that tractor larger than standard? And I will add to the saw discussion as well...as some of you know I ran a landscaping and tree service for a while...I ran strictly Stihl and Husqvarna saws. My saw of choice for up in the bucket was always a Stihl, but preferred a Husky for ground work. The Huskys always seemed to have just a bit more power but were too heavy and cumbersome for bucket work. The saws I had on my truck at all times were: Stihl MS170-my go to saw for up in the bucket, yeah I know its just a cheap low grade saw, but its been used and abused and still starts right up every time I need it Stihl MS260 PRO-this saw also went up in the bucket on larger jobs and was my go to saw for firewood as well...ran an 18" bar on it Husqvarna 455 Rancher-my go to ground saw for felling large trunks and cutting them up...ran a 20" bar on this one Husqvarna 372XP-my granddads old saw...it spent most of its time in the toolbox...blasted thing was too darned heavy to use for long at a time...24" bar on this one 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks! No sir, not your eyes.... The rears are 23 x 10.50. Slightly larger than stock. The fronts are 20 x 8 x 8. 4" taller than stock. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
