Some of you may remember I put in an outdoor furnace last year. I heat about 5000 SQ feet with it.   Its a woodburner. So far this winter I have gone through  about 300 trees.  What I do is get a logging truck load of trees delivered  then I cut them into lengths I can handle.  Last year I bought a Husqvarna 460, with a 60cc engine.  Did a good job but took some time.  Well about a month ago I bought this Husqvarna 395 XP professional series.  Has 95cc engine and over 7hp.  I have a 24 inch bar on it now, it will take up to a 36 inch. Man, I just zip through the trees now.  Just have to respect the saw, it can do alot of damage.  Just thought I would post this, dont know how many of you know whats up with saws.  here are some pics of the brute and its baby brother.

That is a bad @ss saw right there!!  I started burning wood last year but I refuse to buy anymore.  I'm going to get a saw and start cutting downed trees on my neighbors 40 acre lot.  Cool saw.

Thanks,  I get whole trees delivered so it saves alot on the price. I just have to cut it to length.  I have 50 acres of nothing but trees so, once I get some projects caught up around the house I am taking to the woods.  When you get a saw get one bigger than you think you need.  The 395XP is overkill for what I am doing but, man does it ever save me time.

BTW, This was my 1000th post!!!  Cool!!yahoo.gif

Yes, when buying a saw, stick to Husqvarna, Jonsered, or Stihl.

I hear ya Oscar.  After that wind storm a few weeks ago I got to cut up some of the neighbors trees that fell in return for the wood.  Nice thing about my outdoor furnace is I can even burn pine without worry.  If you have any question when you are ready to get a saw let me know.
