I've got in total over 100 acres of woods - mostly hardwoods. Sugar maple, Ash, red oak, and hickory mostly - with some beech, birch, locust, and hemlock mixed in. But - I tap the maples for making maple syrup and only cut my own trees when I absolutely have to. For two years now, I've been cleaning up power-line right-of-ways on some properties I don't own. The place I'm cutting on right now has some red oaks and hard maples that are 3 1/2' diameter at the stump - but 18" - 24" diameter is more common. Some of these trees that got cut should have been sold for logs and not cut up for firewood. But - that wasn't my choice.
To tell the truth - I'm getting sick of cutting firewood and getting kind of old and worn out. If I buy a saw now built to last 30 years - it will probably outlast me. On the other hand though, I don't want to buy some piece of crap that's going to give me problems. Also, if I ever move out of this area of New York and go to live on a small farm I own in northern Michigan - I won't need a big saw anymore. Just about all the trees I've seen in northern Michigan are small and scrubby. Seems they clear cut a lot up there and there's very little old-growth.
