I've got in total over 100 acres of woods - mostly hardwoods. Sugar maple, Ash, red oak, and hickory mostly - with some beech, birch, locust, and hemlock mixed in. But - I tap the maples for making maple syrup and only cut my own trees when I absolutely have to. For two years now, I've been cleaning up power-line right-of-ways on some properties I don't own. The place I'm cutting on right now has some red oaks and hard maples that are 3 1/2' diameter at the stump - but 18" - 24" diameter is more common. Some of these trees that got cut should have been sold for logs and not cut up for firewood. But - that wasn't my choice.

To tell the truth - I'm getting sick of cutting firewood and getting kind of old and worn out. If I buy a saw now built to last 30 years - it will probably outlast me. On the other hand though, I don't want to buy some piece of crap that's going to give me problems. Also, if I ever move out of this area of New York and go to live on a small farm I own in northern Michigan - I won't need a big saw anymore. Just about all the trees I've seen in northern Michigan are small and scrubby. Seems they clear cut a lot up there and there's very little old-growth.

The saga starts with the following message: Hey guys I have a decision to make. I know what you all will probably suggest and it will probably agree with me way down inside, but here it is. I have a picture blown up and framed in my "tractor room" of a Farmall M. It was my Grandpa's tractor, of which whom I never got to meet. He froze to death getting this tractor out of the barn to pull a truck out of the ditch before I was born. Anyway my dad and aunt had to sell it at the auction, ... [Read Article]
