Default Play time with my new-to-me chainsaw
Based on advice given in this thread:

http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...ad.php?t=37783

I came home with a Stihl 029 20" chainsaw today. All I can say is this a very solid gas beaver. A buddy and I were able to fell a dead tree in my backyard after studying the situation carefully. Knowing which way we wanted it to fall, we attached a length of chain and heavy tow strap for extra insurance. Cut our wedge, cut our crosscut, and boom goes the tree. Enjoy the pics and thanks again for all the advice and help guys

PS Of course as the first tree fell on my land and with this saw, I had to show off how big my wood is

Got some chain saw time today with the MS290, cut up some dead stuff also got some seat time on the BX 2660 using the FEL. Now that the cleanup is done I'm ready to relax and cut grass with the 2182. Don't think it will be long from the looks of things.

One of the guys I knew in high school did that. He did tree work on the weekends and the tree twisted as came down.

The front page of the local newspaper had him standing next to his formerly nice '69 ford truck with the tree felled directly dead center along the bed and cab.

Actually the hinge came out very well, what I think you're looking at are footholds we were playing with cutting in to help make our way up the tree to get it tied off to pull down. Here's a better angle; you can see the wedge we cut and the smaller foot holds we were playing with at first

You say it won't be long until grass cutting, I say what type of sorcery is happening outside my window right now?!?!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
