Of course always something to cut up or cut down it seems.
I buy my firewood cut and split.
But had taken down a couple white oaks (10" dia at the stump) recently. My 1998 husqvarna 350 chain saw just doesn't have the power it used to. So tractor supply had a sale on the 445 model, 18" bar, the 350 had a 16" bar.
I fell the white oaks with my old saw leaving a 30" stump sticking up knowing is go back and make two firewood sticks out of both. I left them till I got my new saw. I finally got around to use it this morning. It seems to have plenty of power and a new chain cuts big chips. But oddly it kicked back several times. Im making a flat horizontal left to right cut to get the first piece of firewood off. Then ground level to cut the next piece off the stump. I don't ever remember my old saw kicking back. I've used a chainsaw my entire life. Just not alot. But the new saw is certainly different. Im just not sure why I get the kick back.
