Today I finished the main body of this TSI project. The southwest corner, the northeast corner, and maybe a little in the southeast corner are all that needs to be finished. Then, on to the next CRP tree planting project!
The Husqvarna 550 XP is a great saw for this type of work. It is light to carry around and has enough power and speed for cutting tree after tree, or for double girdling. The 272 XP worked great, too, but it is heavy, and it was wearing on me. The little Stihl 170 is light as a feather, but the fuel tank is too small and you have to go fill up often. The 272 would run 1 1/2 hour or more on on fillup. The 550 was going for two hours, but it restarts easily and I was shutting it off between cutting projects.
