Maggie’s The Woodchuck and Firewood Hoarders Thread

Only troubles I've had was my fault. Gas that was too old trying to run at 10,000ft. Working to try to clean up the old Camp Steiner scout camp for the new leasee. Wife used to work there many years ago, 05-06 ish.
There is a reset procedure some people have had to do in high elevations. I don’t remember the specifics but it works according to guys on Arborsite.

Also (for posterity) you're not supposed to just shut em off after running them hard in a cut, you let em idle for 15 seconds or they won’t want to start back up as they will go to sleep thinking you’re still “on it”.

The thing I like is they always seem to be perfectly tuned. I can rip small stuff without much load and it tunes itself and then I can stick it in a 20” oak and in a micro second it retunes to perfection again. Great for my 261 cause that is just how I use it, as a generalist.

The 440 is for bucking and a some felling so it is always buried.

*eventually* I am going to buy a 500i which weighs what the 440 does but has a good bit more powuh…

I felled 2 trees for my neighbor a couple of weeks ago, along his fence line. I told him where I was going to lay them …. Right next to posts, I mean within 10” of the fence. Bam, perfect 🤩 I am now the “tree fellingist fawker on the mountain” according to him 😂

I used his saw, one of the fabled 372 Huskys. I honestly wasn’t blown away. Dang thing is all orange which is just wrong to start with….creamsicle saws rule!

Armadillo’swere in North Carolina in fall of 1988. Between Winston Salem and Raleigh because I hit one and it wiped out the chin spoiler of my Porsche.

I fucking hate possum on the half shell
According to the map, there be dillas in my AO but I haven’t seen em.

They can carry plague and leprosy I believe 😳
