X Cut is worth it, in my experience, at half the price of Stihl chain when I priced compared locally when I bought a case of 72DL. It stretches far more than Stihl chain, but my groundie handles the normal saw maintenance so it's not as big of a deal for me. I'll check Stihl pricing next...

Absolutely. I like the length of boom. He has three 38 tons with the same length but capacity goes way down. The 40 ton grove actually has higher capacity at around 70’ radius because there is one less boom section to account for. I would be happy with this crane being the one I use. Rick is my...

Open it up a bit and let the coals burn down is what I found to work

Close damper to keep in more heat from coals or open to let them burn up?

Stir and poke the fire.

It was a fun job. A bunch of them semi-tricky, down and buck the butt log off only. I hope to do more on Christmas break and maybe bring some logs or slabs home. It’s kind soft but quite pretty.

They are getting rid of all the Siberian elms. They were planted years ago as a fast growing stopgap. They are kind of a rottonwood…get hollow and rotten and drop limbs. Seems to be largely from pruning too large of limbs off.

I find there is usually a lot of ash under the coals. I sweep the coals to one side and shovel the ashes out, the sweep the coals to the other side and repeat. If you had a metal container to hold the coals and had a safe place to set it down I don't see any rats. The sweep method works ok...

Maybe I should just remove some of the coals when they build up too much though I smell a rat regarding handling large quantities of red hot coals

I have been meaning to make a mesh shovel for the purpose of saving the coals and charcoal but letting the ash fall through it. Collect the coals while you clean out the ashes and dump the coals back in.

Yoooo. Question here. Now that I'm retreaded, I'm burning a lot of wood everyday. And I'm happy to report btw that my wood supply is working out quite well I think bc I made sure to cut all pieces reasonably short to help with the 100% hand splitting and I split all pieces a lot as in no big...

The chain I have now is skip. I don't remember where it came from, it's probably 20 years old. Very unlikely to find skip, or 105 dl locally.

Wow, nice crane. Do you like the 45t alot more than your crane?

I haven’t really made it a point to eat more protein. I do eat my three eggs most mornings though. Mostly I’ve just been cutting out as much processed and ultra processed as possible.

That was a subs crane. And both him and I are licensed crane operators. This was his Altec45/127

She's a keeper

For the 395 I recommend skip chain. It's all I run on both the 395 and 372. Since it only takes 3-4 minutes to touch it up, I tend to sharpen more often. Typically if the chain needs tightening then it also needs a touchup.
