    Level Stumps on Steep Ground

    Yeah... See... internet deficiencies can be a good thing! Think of how you folks can thank your lucky stars that the longest possible vid that I could EVER have the patience to post, is about 3.5 mins. :lol: Sean: Duh! Waiting to tie the rope would have made too much sense!:|: Dude. I...

    Level Stumps on Steep Ground

    Yeah, REALLY new. Jake's got a ton of time on it already, but, if you can believe it, that was Davin's (the guy in the vid) first time on it. The thing is just so intuitive, non turf destructive, light yet powerful. All of us are over the moon for it. Super low COG on that pig. Mr...

    Level Stumps on Steep Ground

    So this"ll probly irritate you guys like nobody's business... I have TERRIBLE internet connectivity out here in Snoqualmie. The GoPro doesn't like me. I have SERIOUS uploading issues. It looks like Butch and Corey's preferred Jed-lenght video is gonna win out, since I can't hardly upload...

    Level Stumps on Steep Ground

    Stephen: You guys are weird. (You and Burnham.) Most of the rest of us absolutely suck at any conception of anything LIKE level. (If my observance of hundreds of new guys, and even lots of very experienced tree-service hands are any indication.) I became vastly improved, shortly before, and...

    Level Stumps on Steep Ground

    Hopefully, he'll correct me if I'm wrong, but I wanna say that Mr. Gerrald F. Beranek himself had, at times, packed a small bubble-level out into the woods to place on the guide-bar, to see what was what. I could be wrong. Sean: Yeah. I suck at swinging leaners. I usually just cut em level...

    Level Stumps on Steep Ground

    Yeah, thanks Burnham... I wanna start throwing up some pictures of us tree service guys trying to cut level stumps on the next cow face that we get. I would try to show the top of the stump with a bubble-level over it. It's unreal how hard of a time the brain has in attempting to conceive...

    Level Stumps on Steep Ground

    Thanks a ton FW. Really great shots. Makes me miss my Mom and Dad. It's really good to see some shots of someone falling in N.M. who actually knows to keep an eye on the top of the tree. Not a local custom. I had heard stories about some of the local boys going up to fall the Vivash forest...

    Level Stumps on Steep Ground

    Hey Forestryworks: Northern New Mexico!! What kind of a goofball treeguy would cut firewood there. (Willie's getting a good LOL on that one.) That's where I lived and worked for about seven years. Probably says a great deal about why I have such a hard time at the stump. I actually...

    Level Stumps on Steep Ground

    Actually Jer: There are guys at my work who won't accept any other means of learning, and to be perfectly honest: I'm highly inclined to agree with em. Pain--much as it sucks--has GOT to be the most effective teacher. Still........... I love to steal a few tricks here and there from the...

    Level Stumps on Steep Ground

    Yeah Willie: I'm thinkin' about running full-comp like you guys do, cause since I ported my saw and got the shorter bar, the thing just cuts so fast, that it seems like any tiny little bit that you might be off (angle-wise) in your filing is exacerbated by having fewer chisels. I can't get...

    Level Stumps on Steep Ground

    Actually Burnham hit the nail on the head for me. I probably shouldn't EVER be pulling out the level with a 28" bar, but I got a lot steeper learning curve than you guys. Yeah, Burnham, you were 100% correct about my inadvertent torquing on the powerhead thus throwing my back cut off. Today...

    No Willie: Inbreds do NOT understand how to post pics. My wife (not my sister) has got a great digital camera and everything.

    Level Stumps on Steep Ground

    O. k. I'm gonna' seriously out-nerd all of you guys with this one: (like that's gonna be hard for me) I've actually got two tiny levels (one for tilt and one for roll) glued to both sides of my 440's case. Afraid so. Yeah: I actually put a level on my bar, and then got the levels on both...
