40 tonne city crane, not sure on the model.

Farmi kicked ass today. Also cut through a bees nest, pretty docile bees, no one got stung.

It didn't flip, we laid the butt down and cut one of those 2 leaders off to get the weight down to 5 tonnes so the crane could lift it.

I can't imagine there's many tree firms that look after their kit as well as you do.

Yup, filing off the worn parts off the rails before they chip extends the life of your bars and improves cutting.

Most of the time I sharpen, check/ file rakers, check/ dress bar and that's it. Occasionally I get a curve ball so to speak, if it's something super important I'll check it first, otherwise it just goes straight out.

I free hand milled these Elm boards for a carpenter friend yesterday. He sighted them up, as carpenters do, and was somewhat incredulous as to how straight they were, probably 5-10 mm out over 2.2 metre length. I did resharpen the saw first, the employees can get a saw sharp but perfectly...

Green gold Butch. That last one is the length of 2 1/2 soccer pitches, and I did most of it in a day. Made good coin on it.

Dozens of em Jed. I could go on....

Hinge porn!

What's the old saying, anyone who has never fowled anything up was too chicken to try anything.

Indeed. I have heard climbers say that the condition of the textile part isn't important, as the strength is in the wire core. That is overlooking the obvious IMO.

You'd take a tumble if the sheath parted. Yours doesn't look too bad though.

What does the 1987 British standard for water for laboratory use have to do with it? :lol:

They don't hold to a side lean well. I guess it's just euro faller skills! :lol: Are we talking about the same species of tree here though? Our pops are mostly hybrid blacks.
