The Official Work Pictures Thread

Really busy week - this was the bulk of it

 

[Mick!]

Very decent size tree that.

 

[Mick!]

Some felling, some climbing.
No dramas.

Edmikate me, what is with the 2 lines going to a Y . 2 to 1 with a pulley ?

 

[Jed]

Cool Mick.

No pulley, just taking the slack up in the line after threading it through the loader.

Nice work gents!

A few more pics. Hung a decent top then (next picture) floated it out, just barely fit past the house. Super steep cliff area so Sean tied up one of the pegs to the rigging tree in back and it worked mint.
Third to last tree from the end. Used the better part of a 1/2 double braid spool from MapleLeafRopes for the winch line and all of 200’ for the tail line.

Not a biggun or anything but it was a fun job avoiding this churches covered bridge directly below. Only parts to hit the water were the tops, it was unavoidable with my rigging point. I chunked everything else firewood size so I could toss it right to my guys so they didn't have to get wet.

 

[SeanKroll]

Smooth, y'all!!

No drama.

 

[ruel]

Looks like that bridge needs a new cover!

 

[Cerealkiller]

I think that's the plan. It's a hindu temple and the two guys there didn't speak enough English to hold much of a convo with but if you can't tell from the photo the sicamore was the only one actually laying on the roof, the other 3 were just to clear hazards which why would you bother if you wernt gonna fix it up. Then later in the morning the neighbor came out and mentioned she was excited to see work starting, I assumed that work was it being restored and not just the trees being removed. Absolutely beautiful little spot they had.

@Cerealkiller is that the hipster on your lanyard? Does it work SRT?

big hemlock snapped off at about 12'. Mini putting in some work

 

[Jed]

Sean: You and Sven are stinkin KILLIN it man. Love the shots you guys got recently. Maine looks like a wonderful place.

 

[Cerealkiller]

@ruel yep it's a Hipster. It works fine running a lanyard in SRT for work positioning, holds securely, you can lower pretty well fully weighted. It would not be suitable for your main SRT device alone.

 

[Jed]

Too lazy to rig off mondo limbs over the neighbor’s house?... no problem: just shinny up BETWEEN the limbs with the 372, crack that pig in half so she fits, and then fall the stob with all the brush still on it.😂. (Young master Davin in pics with log.)

Stinkin toad was barely 115’ tall, but five and a half feet across the hinge, and 7’6” on the flare.

 

[cory]

Hella pics!

Lol "barely 115'"

Davin must not like his boots.

The stump cut doesn't look like one of yours, maybe you were doing it by sense of smell alone

Stihl parts on a husky? Is that how you make them huskies half decent?

 

[lxskllr]

Just the bar half :^P

I’m a STIHL guy at heart but there is no denying the Husqvarna 395xp is one of the finest saws that ever rolled off the assembly line ...

Looks like a good way to remind yourself to never go back to flippy-caps.

I’d like to shoot the engineer that came up with that idear ! Wtf is wrong with the “old” style screw-in snug with scrench versions? To be honest I did p/u a 572xp and built it to be a good torquey worksaw - most comfortable, smooth running saw that I own ... not the fastest in the stable but she moves right along nonetheless ... Cut over 100 cord easy and so far so good ... Seems to stay “cleaner” under the clutch cover than other saws I own too - could be the “west coast” kit I installed featuring full-wrap handlebars , bigger dogs and of course the larger “big boy” clutch cover ... I’ve got a good recipe for that one for sure

 

[lxskllr]

You need a scrench? I've had zero issues with flippy caps. They easily go on and off without tools.

Thats exactly what they want you to think.

The bar is the only good part of Stihls.
