Nah lets just leave it as it is😇it’s a Sunday after all. Yeah if I was heading out to ring up stuff that size it would be as you say “ big saw time” 👍

Evening, I did plan on signing in at 3.30am but was busy with the wee 1. She’s sleeping 3-4 hours so only really 1 change and feed. Strange how quick you adapt. I’ve been awake 3.30am - 10.30pm a few nights in a row now and getting out a walk too. Wouldn’t like to be climbing, grafting or doing anything to strenuous though!

I can agree to disagree if it makes you feel better Or disagree to agree, Im not sure know! 3 ft timber is big saw time. Dunno how hes doing it with a dewalt battery saw!

I may have got it wrong then I was thinking 5 feet long 3 feet wide logs. Some bloke that we used to drop off arb timber to would split all of his wood (when he could timber size depending) into 1 metre billets. He said it was easier to process and store, he ran a farm so he had access to loads of big machines. He also had a big stove or whatever you would call it so he could just feed it 3 feet logs.

Not sure rich It was a while back … possibly in America or could have been your mate.

The didn’t die, unless it was another incident. A guy I used to work with had a big shot collapse on him. iIRC it fractured his skull and he was seriously injured with memory loss for quite a while.

Better saw for less than both huskys would suit your needs i reckon

I use a 2200w corded electric saw for most firewood logs at home but it will be a lot slower for stuff that size than a 60cc saws but will still manage 3ft no problem just be slow. OP get your self a corded saw and maybe also husky 560xp etc if you have loads of logs that size.

What saw do prefer or use then ?? How you managing to split logs of this lengths or for that matter handle them. 5’ long and 2-3’ in diameter ain’t light.

That’s a big log burner too Stubby

A beanie with a hole in it where the greedy bastard beagle chewed it after me using it to hold a hot pie one day left it covered in gravy. Not very professional or safe bud but working alone so no pics today 😞🤷‍♂️ There you go Oldfeller mind you it was an award winning pie so I can’t blame the dog too much, Browns the butchers in Turriff 🥰 made on site proper tasty.

pictures of you in a silly hat or it didn't happen,,,

I agree 🤮there 🤦can’t believe I’ve posted that up.

It is for sure . I was thinking 3ft long . Billets .

3 feet wide though? That's a big bit of timber!

You sure it’s 2-3ft diameter ?? I’ve been cutting and splitting logs all day, Dead standing Elm and some Ash, some of those are 2-3ft occasionally bigger diameter. I had 2 saws with me a 461 with a 20” bar and a 661 with a 36” bar to ring up the bigger logs. A 261 with a 14” bar as was mentioned earlier is gonna be a waste of time and effort if you have plenty at 3ft diameter. You might want to consider hiring a guy in with saws and kit etc if they are that size. Someone who has the right saws and knowledge will get a lot done in a shift, you could always be splitting at the same time.

it can be done Stubby, no doubt, but the op is already struggling with a feckin' battery dewalt, I think he might be looking at a less tiring option.

Depending how frequently it is being used i all ways recommend to my customers to purchase battery. Put it away, no carb problems. Press the button and off it goes. Not the sort of thing you are going to be logging 20inch and over stems with. Agreed with a comment about het the best you can afford. On the contrary I have a friend who buys the Hyundai saws, "so cheap, any problems bin it and purchase another!"

If your timber is 2-3 feet then you need a decent cc chainsaw! Or a low cc one if you have lots of time on your hands. Either way I think that you need to get a pro saw. 2-3 feet all day is ms660 territory.

To be fair I have , in the past , split longer lenghts by laying the log lenghtwise on the ground and standing one leg eaithr side wand winding the axe in that way . Not a novice thing to do though .

Sadly not 3ft, but worth watching for the headwear alone
