Great score! That's some nice looking ash! I'm looking forward to the splitting video. My Grandfather used to say "firewood warms you 3 times. Once when you cut it, once when you split and stack, and once when you burn it. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
Thanks man. This was really good ash. But ill give Joe credit he does get and makes some really good looking firewood. Lot better looking on average than the stuff I get. To be honest. But it all burns good and I have fun doing it
Thanks man. My wife and baby are doing great. Olivia is 6 months and 3 months old and working on mastering crawling and learning how to get into everything. Haha
15 years old and still going strong. Keep her till she can't do the job any longer. I know catching the limb was a hassle but you handled it well and it was a great watch, as ALWAYS.
Hi Ben!!😀😀 Nice job falling that ash. I bet you couldn't have balanced that tree on that one limb if you would have tried. LOL!! Good job of getting it to come off the limb. Take care my friend!! 😀😀 Logger Al
Hey Ben, that's a beautiful looking load of wood my friend, thanks for sharing with us, You and your family have a blessed day, and see you on the next one.
You have a lot of firewood cutting years left Ben. I am 68 and still cutting. Although this year I bought a Dyna SC 12 processor and bought my first truckload of logs. I did cut them all to 10 foot lengths and ran them through the processor. Trying to stay in the game. Enjoying your videos. And by the way I start my chainsaws the same way you do. Never a problem.
That is gonna make some nice firewood. People tell me to lift with my legs. I am 6'4" tall and it is hard for me to lift with my legs. It is just easier for me to bend over and pick things up off the ground.
Great video as always. 261 with an 18 inch bar fill chisel chain would be my choice and will be my next saw. I run a 462 with a 25&28, want a 32 also, MS271-18 inch bar and a ms180. My 180 and 462 gets ran more than my 271 and if I had a 261 the 180 and 271 wouldn't get ran that much.
I used a new MS362 and I liked it a lot. Only a few pounds heavier than the MS260 but considerable power. I had a MS250 and I used it for an in-tree climbing saw more than my 194T because it was so light but still powerful enough for bucking a 80' conifer down from 4" to 18" and stripping the limbs on the way up with a single tank. I wouldn't want the MS362 for that task. The MS250 was perfect
@@survivingcountrylife7069 been that way for me here lately. Loggers have to be off the property in a week. That means i have one week. Brought the first load home today. Gonna be a marathon wish id found it sooner.
@@survivingwith812catfishing wish I lived by you haha. I'd like to find a spot where I could just get load after load and leave my excavator set there for a bit
Great video, I did not see any ear plugs or ear protection, just wondered if you use it or do you run without it? I use them for sawing to cutting the grass to running the BX Kubota
I like your new video this morning you did a really good job please pray for our little our son he is in the hospital he's really sick he is white and pale please pray for us thank you buddy
Yes I hand file it. But I also use a stihl 2in1 to get the angles right. Then I take a single hand file and touch up the gullet. Aso a depth guage I use
Hey Ben I would strongly recommend the 261 I have one myself very very dependable mine has an 18 inch bar on it it has been awesome! when did you get your 461? Have you tried the 500i yet Stihl chainsaws are the Best!
I got my 461 back in January or February. I would love a 500i but I can't justify financially yet having 2 bigger saws yet. MYbe if I keep cutting trees real good I can get one someday
@@survivingcountrylife7069 yeah you’re right about that the 500 I is just a little too expensive at the moment for my taste too your 461 it’s a big saw how big is the bar on the 461?
@@survivingcountrylife7069 up here where A chain for an 18 inch bar is 20 bucks apiece kind of sucks but what can you do? I buy the Stihl chain for it but I know that Oregon makes a good chain to
Good job on a dangerous leaner! MS461 getting it Done!👍🏼🇱🇷
Love that saw

Thanks man
i guess it is kinda off topic but does anybody know a good website to stream new movies online ?
@Dangelo Neil i use Flixzone. Just google for it =)
You lucky dog Ben. Beautiful wood. Even better than Joe's premium wood.
Thanks man. This was really good ash. But ill give Joe credit he does get and makes some really good looking firewood. Lot better looking on average than the stuff I get. To be honest. But it all burns good and I have fun doing it
Great job! Glad to see your wife back on the camera, she’s great! Hope everyone is doing well..

Thanks Karen. I like it that me and that saw got history
Your experience is showing, Ben, in the perfect notch and hinge, and the assessment and cut that brought down the hanger on the first try. Good job!
Thanks powrguy. Appreciate it
Gotta love a good running 461 with a sharp chain!👍🏻
Its really a fun saw for me to have !!!
I still have a 041. They stoped making them in 1978 still runs good
Hi Ben!!😀😀
Nice job falling that ash.

Thanks al. Appreciate it
I swear I could've heard Homer Simpson "Doh" when it fell like that lol..
You have alot of property there, are all the houses yours ? Lots of Big pc. of wood, good to have. Tell the wife Thanks for videoing you.
Hey Bro. At the beginning, Great job getting out of that jam . Good cutting !! Sharp chain , good operator. Thanks. Craig. Pa.
Thanks craig
Hey Ben, that's a beautiful looking load of wood my friend, thanks for sharing with us, You and your family have a blessed day, and see you on the next one.
Thanks big d. Appreciate it buddy !!!
That saw is a beast
Thanks man. A guy was telling me he thinks the carb is slightly out of adjustment. But I dunno I think it sounds pretty good

Thats cool. I wish we had log trucks around here but there isn't much logging here. Unless its maybe big cottonwood trees for pallets or walnut trees.
STIHL GUT💪💪💪👍
Joe would be drooling over those rounds ! Good show ! Saw looked sharp
Theyre some pretty good rounds i think. I put my box wedge back on my splitter. Gona see how it does
That is gonna make some nice firewood. People tell me to lift with my legs. I am 6'4" tall and it is hard for me to lift with my legs. It is just easier for me to bend over and pick things up off the ground.
I agree. Got to pick it up somehow
Naw it will catch up with you later. Lift with yer legz!
Nice looking wood. Great job on cutting
Thanks Larry. Appreciate it
Great video as always.
261 with an 18 inch bar fill chisel chain would be my choice and will be my next saw.

My 180 and 462 gets ran more than my 271 and if I had a 261 the 180 and 271 wouldn't get ran that much.
I run a 261 with 18” bar. Love it!
I did a bore cut on a tree with with my MS 180. It's on my channel
Good video nice score on the tree what is it ash?
Yes sir. Its an ash tree
@@survivingcountrylife7069 big ash tree

Its that middle saw that I'm looking to upgrade in time.
Hands down go with a 261cm over a 290.6 years with my 261 and its my favorite saw.
Good call using the 461 on that tree. I look forward to seeing the box wedge in action
Thanks man. Love watchin your channel
Mate Nice.😆 Cheers.👍
Thanks leonard
@@survivingcountrylife7069 😆.💪 👍👍👌👌👌
Just hopefully got a 100 acre track of logged red oak and white oak. Should know very soon. 👊Next years wood.

exactly, lift with the legs, not the back ;)
290 is a good saw still run my 310 but have some bigger saws
Man. Bein that close to a farm and house. I figured you’d find a nail of piece of barbed wire. That’s always my luck
Probably in there somewhere. Haha
Good wood , what wood is it?
Your 461 cuts beautifully...do you hand file sharpen it?
Yes I hand file it. But I also use a stihl 2in1 to get the angles right. Then I take a single hand file and touch up the gullet. Aso a depth guage I use
Wait until you are in your 70,s
Your scaring me. Haha
That’s how I would’ve got it down too, about 4’ up from the stump make a cut from the bottom
Wish I lived near you. I could try and cut some firewood logs and sell em to you. This time of year im kinda out of work other than my main job.
That sure is a nice load of wood. You have reason to be tired.
