But I'm lazy. They're disposable to me. So I just beat them. When the cage falls off, I crush and scrap them. Makes hauling it around the farm easy. Also to my sister's house and my house easy. I can put a single tote in the back of my f250. Or 2 totes on my F350 flat bed. Or about 14 on my gooseneck equipment trailer if I ever needed to. I haven't built a house at the farm yet. Trying to buy another 112 to 300 acres before I build. So I unload the totes at my house with my little 2305 yard tractor. |

Had to pull my 262c out (the one with the mulching head) to get my little 317 skid out. Had the 50ZTS out because my pile of logs (10-12ft lengths) is not far away. After I'm done cleaning the cow barn I'll be bucking some firewood. Probably cut up 3-4 cords depending on how bored I am. When it's waist high or better being held by the excavator it's very easy. And I have a huge pile of timbers. Edit Poopathon! https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/148484/20181104_124503-727618.jpg View Quote |

I'm thinking of necking up the 6.5 Creedmoor to take a .308 bullet. It would make a nice round for hunting deer and offer a wider range of bullets.

Do you get the tanks too? I also have: MS661 with 25 and 36in bar. MS290 with a 20in bar. (2 actually) a 211 with a 16in bar and a 170 with I think a 14. It rides around on an ATV. Yes. I get the totes and takes for free. We demo saw the tanks out, cut them up and load them out to C&D. I literally probably have 150 right now ready to be cut up and scrapped. Maybe more of good ones to be cleaned and refilled. Edit The 361 is probably my favorite over all saw to run. The 310 works extemely well for it's age. The 661 is just a monster. Even with the 25in bar, I can only justify it's weight in hard oak or such. Otherwise is leave it to stumping duty. |

The '45's saving grace was a poorly executed headgasket job which caused spun main bearings... it was sitting in a fencerow and not really worth anything at the time. |
