Have big saws; too heavy to lug around. I don't mind taking a little extra time

Hi Alan, thanks for watching. 72 years young, you got 20 years on me, I agree the 261 is a great saw, luckily I have a few saws so I can pick and choose for the situation, but my 180 and 261 are the most handy saws, keep the chain sharp and its amazing what they can cut.

Hey Gringo, what do you think of the 500i? I hear very good things. you have a 500i and no splitter yet, dear Mrs Gringo, please buy Mr Gringo a splitter 😁

@@TheRuralProject I love you Chris, you're my bestest friend ever...

Hey Steve good to hear from you. Glad the video was useful to you, id tried all the “normal” weed killers too, this works great, just might need a second dose depending on how hardy the plant is.

It sure does have a Bruce Lee punch, but more than 1” but a killer punch anyway.

That was my thoughts when I first tried it. I was like “did it really just do that ….. jeez”

It’s got a rapid fire punch for certain and has handled some knotty stuff but I keep the real nasty stuff for the hydraulic splitter

Hydraulics are on back order, until then you can use this ....... enjoy!!😀

Back up in the high hills. Could you imagine a pet kangaroo 🦘, it would trash your house. Haha. Thanks for watching.

That’s a great story, I bet the patient knows about Count Dracula, everyone knows about Count Dracula. Was the smokeless burner an easy build ? It’s a lot of hard work cleaning up after firewood production. I used to have a burn barrel going as I split n bucked but I produced too much wet waste to get a good burn and would smoke myself out of the yard.

Knocked it up in not very long at all. It's half of an old hot water service inside a 44 gallon drum. There's some slots around the inside of the inner designed to generate a spiraling air flow as does the bent in "feet" that make up the base. Video of it in action at th-cam.com/video/Ir12p3RbdXg/w-d-xo.html . Not going to see how bad the video is as I don't edit or even watch my videos. They get shot and then uploaded.

Hi, I fixed those leaks and things were better but it’s sprung more leaks over time. I just replaced them with ex fire engines hoses so they should be a bit better. Poly pipe would be better but I need to remove the pipe after I fill the tank and lay flat is more convenient. Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching, this dense wood burns hot and slow in the wood fire, I think coals from this wood be perfect for a braai.

@@johnstopford9633 i find the dog spikes tend to put too much load on the saw / chain when cutting hardwood with these smaller saws. I use the dog spikes with the 462 and 661 as they have the power to pull through the hardwood.

@@maisenday5800 ha ha, I can tell “you know”. Please tell me it burned great to offset all the hard work.

@TheRuralProject it is the best wood I have ever burned, a few rosewood pieces to get the heat in then a few redgum quarters and I'm set for hours

Sweet 👍

@@GRINGOPINES no problem. What’s the delivery address ?

Send it care of Gringo pines rochivo creel chihuahua Mexico. STAY COOL BROTHER...PEACE...@@TheRuralProject

Ha ha, it’s in the post. Should be with you in a week.

Thanks for watching, i try to hit the same place each swing, but its not easy with that big lump of steel. More practice required.😀

Very true. The machine has a 2 handed safety system to ensure your fingers are away from the sharp bits, but ….. it’s not that great and I’ve disabled it.

Hi, twisted gum is a nightmare, actually a daymare, no waking up from this. It’s shoulder wrenching, axe bouncing pain….. even trying to split round the edges is hard work. Good luck.

@@TheRuralProject yea i dont know the gums name... and maybe it would have been easier green? .... but that wasnt fezable at the time i felled the trees ... been down 4 yrs ish ... about 28 dia and twisted... Im not sure about the handle on this maul... ive always had wooden ones before ... i think theres some power loss on striking the ring ... just a feeling i had apposed to wooden handle...

Thanks for the feedback, they are a lump to throw about, I’d like to say it gets easier the more you do it, but it doesn’t. 😀😀 Good luck

Hi, these are $500 Aus dollars at our local hardware store. I'm sure Honda sell in Kenya too so try your local hardware store or Honda direct via their website. Thanks for watching.

hey Alan, yep its a shame for those that get equipment stolen, I see a rex 600 was stolen a while ago, that's a huge machine and a lot of money. I know about the IR illumination, I have 2 cameras looking towards each other and when one is triggered the other sees a huge white glow. They are just a deterrent and hopefully push an opportunist thief elsewhere. I visited a building site a while ago and they had installed a fog system because the kitchen and laundry products kept getting stolen. Once you are inside and trigger the alarm the room fills with fog so thick you cannot see your hands and strobe lights flash to disorientate you. You cannot find your way out.

Dillon, good to hear from you. I see you’ve been out swinging the axe again after all those months on the road. This place is looking good, we are looking for another block of land to do the same too ….. but that’s all coming up in future videos. Keep the axe sharp and away from your shins 🤔🫣

​@TheRuralProject Yes indeed, my friend! It's good to see the progress you've made, and it's good to hear from you again! Keep up the good work, and I wish you the best with your future projects, Chris 🙏👍

Ha ha, it looks more like a pond but it’s definitely a pool. Not sure council would allow me to change the section 32, or if they did I’d get a letter telling me I have to fence my pond. 😂😂

Hi, have a look ok at the Reolink Australia web site they have a large selection. The one i have is about $340. If you have wifi you can get them cheaper, as I am so remote, needing solar power and 4G is more expensive. I have an Aldi pay as you go SIM card. I tried a few different cameras and Reolink have been the best and good after sales too. I have 5 cameras and over the past 4 years I have had 2 returned and swapped under warranty. No arguments, simply return it and a new one is in the post back to you.

hi, have a look at the reolink Australia website, they have a large selection. as i have no wifi and no power, i need to get the 4G solar systems which are more expensive, but ive found reolink to be great to deal with and had things swapped under warranty without issues. I have the Go PT Ultra and they are $340. Not the cheapest, but I've tried a few alternatives and found these to be best.

@@gringopines3476 hey mate, thanks for watching. Good point re lighting. I think I need to add some solar lighting, thieves don’t work well if they are illuminated, they like to work in the shadows. Think I’ll be getting a few solar lights. Take care.

Agree, I’d guess there is a load of plant matter in the dam. How do I reduce the number of yabbies apart from draining or netting over many weeks ? I really think I might have to drain and dig to “start with something cleaner”. Hiring a trash pump to suck the bottom clearer might work but it’d have to be a monster one and i don’t think it’s the right approach.

Hi, 16” on the 261 and 18” on the 362. Thanks for watching.

Man you work fast. 😁 I have cut them down and sprayed too, it’s hard work, it’s a heavy plant when you have to pick up the leaves and root balls.

Thanks for the positive feedback. I think it’s a great comparison too, proving once and for all, bigger is better 😁👍

That’s the truth right there. Sometimes you gotta get the right tool for the job, just like when you bought the big boy splitter. Thanks for watching

You ….. with a battery saw. What’s the world coming to ? I need to ask R U OK ? I’m in shock. Ha ha. Gotta say I’ve been thinking about a Mikita saw ( as I have batteries ) … but I cannot bring myself to do it. 🪓👍🤔

I tried to convince dad to get a Makita as he has the batteries but he wanted a standalone one. In the end the Bunnings XU1 got purchased and I've pruned a bit than you have there twice with the chainsaw and about 40m of hedges twice. $165 compared to about $750 for the Stihl is a fair bargain too I reckon. I've cut through up to about 4" diameter ornamental pear with no issues (and little noise).

@@Alan_Hans__ yep the stihls are very expensive and reality is if you do a bit of cutting you need a few batteries and they ain’t cheap.

Hi, thanks for watching. Sorry but not sure the translation worked properly.

@@Alan_Hans__ well well, you and I think alike. Watch the next one. Polesaws……. I wished I’d bought one earlier.

hey joey, it sure is, I thought the same thing and the next video shows the easy way to do things

hey gringo, I hear you, hair today..... gone tomorrow. On the next one I show you the easy way to trim trees using a new toy. Should have bought it ages ago

Congrats. 🥂

Yep, then I don’t move for a day. 🤣🤣

@@johnc1256 true, but I wanted the option to be able to remove the ball easily and also move the ball away from the blade so we have more angle of dangle before the trailer coupling fouls the blade. Thanks for watching and I hope this is useful for you.

A real ripper of a unit, it takes no prisoners. No weed or long grass is safe. I just got a circular saw blade for it, going to cut down some big bushes and saplings with it. 👍👍 What could possibly go wrong ?

Hey gringo. Ha ha. I’ve been thinking about doing an auto buck 5000 video but not sure how to do it, I’ll keep thinking. I’m editing March ‘24 videos now so still 6 months behind and a lot of content to edit. Lots been happening. Stay cool.

Yep I love the x27 and the maul. How’d you go with the maul ? It’s a real lump to throw around but some logs need it.
