Welcome to Oakie Woodsman. Check out Ozark's Oklahoma living while we strive to live, maintain and utilize our forest property in the best possible way.
We are always busy building many things from scratch, utilizing our own customized saw-milled lumber, building trails, cutting firewood, working on and with chainsaws. We maintain a tight budget and show you how to do lots while staying within your means.
You can get ahold of me by email oakiewoodsman@gmail.com if you have any questions.
Almost threw away my NEW Husky chain saw for slow cutting ----- UNTIL I removed the spark arrester baffle plate!!! It was a totally different saw after that - with very acceptable cutting speed. The Accountants are running Husky and performance is only important when it comes to company profit performance. I will never buy anything with the Husky name on it EVER. Not the first item that I have "gotten rid of" with the Husky name on it.
They all make great saws. I have only had Stihl and Echo. Now I have a Echo 590 Timber Wolf. My biggest complaint with Stihl is that they were always hard to start. I have thrown away two Stihl weed eaters after several trips to the repair shops and still dislocating my shoulder with 20-30 pulls. Everything I have now is Echo and for theses reasons. They have always started on the first or second pull. They are reliable and can perform just as well against comparable competition and they cost way less. I refuse to own a saw/weed eater that by the time I get it started I'm already tired.
That definitely was a big hill climbing out of the field at the end. I was nervous for both of you.😂She did awesome ! Seem like a perfect day for some work low 70s😎
I just bought an Echo 2511TN. The Egan pipe and WCS mufflers are said to improve the performance of the 2511tn. It would be interesting to see a side by side comparison of these two popular mufflers to answer the question if it's worth changing the stock muffler.
Gotta admire a woman that can drive a tractor! 🙂 Our neighbor lady used to load all the hay wagons while her husband drove the tractor & baler. I was told she did this because she couldn't stand her husband criticizing her tractor driving skills. She was one strong lady, & she outlived her husband by 30+ years.
If I could only have one, it would be the ECHO 2620. The pro model is just a good unit, powerful enough for pretty much anything etc. I do like a brush cutting only setup BUT, I don't know if I could justify the cost. Happy with this Proyama Unit for now.
It was incredible but I can assuredly tell you, certainly no where near cool. It was still fairly sticky however, we had a nice wind and that helped improve the situation. Seasons are a changing though!
hahahahaha.... my wife has been broken of that habit! Once we sold the chickens, I don't think she ever looked back...... that is why I keep her out of Tractor Supply.
I totally agree. I think people get way too anal retentive on seasoning. Yes, wood needs to be dry but not seasoned for two years. It's August. I just split 3 cords of wood and will burn it this winter. It will burn great. I never stay 2 or three years ahead like some of these people.
Michelle nailed it. Great confidence booster. You have some nice wood there. Would be good to mill and use for building something like a wood shed. Enjoy your week. Nazdravja!
We don't use pine for firewood in the south. Its considered a trash wood. Because it burns extremely dirty. Basically just a house fire waiting to happen.
@@oakiewoodsman Hey if you're good with it I respect that. I loved our wood burning stove. We don't use it much anymore I've unfortunately have had 2 strokes and I'm not able to keep the wood stocked up. It's no biggie we had gas heat installed shortly after I got sick. I wanted something so when it snows an the power goes out we're still going to be warm an can cook some things too.
I had a Stihl 015 for just shy of 24 years and I worked it hard. Replaced with a Stihl 250. Hate the starting crap but it works if you follow their advice. This one is 10+ years. Cost, yep I agree, overpriced but they last so evens out.
