I bought a new 36" bow saw.
Supposed to cut small trees and branches almost as fast as a chain saw, and without (most of) the danger, weight, and accessories (gas, oil, chains, etc.)
Many people in WV carry a chainsaw with them in case a storm hits and causes trees to fall across the road.
This is thin enough to fit behind the rear seat in the truck, and doesn't need any oil or gas stored along with it.
Here are some pics from the last year or so...
Brush Hog.
Brush hog was getting pretty sad, so I did a mild rebuild.
You can see the bow in the front here:
Blades were in sad shape
Deck support replaced and reinforced
Added a chain guard
New blades, hub and stump jumper
Painted the deck after drilling a much-needed hole to access the blade retaining nuts
Turtles
Here's a box turtle. They're fairly common in the spring
Old Camper
Before pic
Partially dismantled
Jennifer did a bunch of work to get to this point
Derecho Damage
Derecho (like a tornado but with straight wind instead of cyclonic) came through last year around June.
Took out this black walnut tree - and we were going to park the camper under it
