I think one of the things about bucking wood in the ground is to use your whole body, not just your back to get down to it if you don't have a really long bar. Get your knees and legs bent down, get those points of contact going whilst you're at it. With big enough logs I'll take a knee because I know I'll be there for a bit going through it so why not? I'd definitely rather get a dirty knee than put my back out bending down all day.

Buck three quarters and roll log. Also, quite often, after you roll log there'll be dirt on the log. If you can, take your axe and chop the dirt off where your cut is. If you have to cut a dirty log, back off on the throttle and skim the bark before going wide open. It's the high speed impacts that dull your chain. And trees that have been fell on a gravel road can have rocks pounded into the bark.

@markheintz1878 Жыл бұрын
He was right, especially when dealing with crotch sections. If you split from the wide side of the Y, it will split easily down the center. Even with a hydraulic splitter, a piece that won't easily split one way will easily split from the upper end. I learned that the hard way after fighting them for too long before the light came on. :)

@@markheintz1878 I didn't know it until I was in my twenties hand splitting wood with a maul that wouldn't split and I swung over and over, knotted red oak I think. They let me try over and over getting frustrated until he and my dad said it's upside down. I said who the F cares it's a round, then they explained it to me, split top to bottom, split first try even though I doubted them. I was humbled. Great lesson hope to learn many more from old timers.

Hi there Buckin', your grin makes me smile buddy. The issue I've been having is cutting trees off of the root plates. They're to go to the mill as "oversize" - above 600mm diameter @£60/ ton, so the guy wants the butt ends, they're a mixture of Corsican pine and Doug fir and larch, but when they've gone over in the storm, they kind of tilted around their own base, so half of the tree is in the hole and I've hit the ground a fair few times - 105 link chains take a lot of filing. I can't think of a way to be safer than just being real slow at the bottom of the cut. Anyone know better?

Howdy Buckin'.. don't know if I can get you to respond to this, but I am curious as to how you so quickly measure for 15 inch rounds? I too cut 15 inch (foot& a heel) rounds, but I start from the base of the tree *using my foot plus an imaginary heel, and score it every ~15". If I tried to just eyeball the whole 15 inches from one cut to the next, It would not work out nearly as neatly as you're doing there. Thanks😅

There most likely ported. But they are also bigger saws than a 271. But most of all it’s the chain! Square grind and sharpened the correct way. Without a sharp chain it doesn’t matter how much power it has it won’t cut. But porting your saw with indeed increase the power

A bit rough. If you wrap the handlebar with Easton handle bar rap it cuts down the vibration significantly. I did that on several of my old mac's and even on newer saws with anti-vibe and small diameter handles. It helps keep away cold transfer from the metal handlar in the winter as well. Don't let the vibe from these old mac's stop you from getting one they are fun to run. Especially the 7-10 & 10-10.
