    I recall you doing that job with Ryan.... I have a woods ported 550. It's nice, but I'm not sure it's faster than my ported 346 NE was...I've always loved the 3 cube saws I've had, as long as they're ported. Same for my hopped up 357..... nice to see you have an intermediate size so you don't...

    I don't know if this has been posted, but I just found it on YT, after just now viewing Bixler's latest superb video...even though he had a smallish crane pick endo, I gave him prop's. It's of a big sequoia in New Zealand, not filmed by the tree company, so I don't know who did it. Climber is...

    It sure was. I saw it on facebook as well as here, and they were acting kinda like it was no big deal.......The climber was local to the Puget Sound area. I think the job took place in Spokane.... I had a spar snap once. It was too small for the load, which wasn't huge, but the climber was way...

    Because the truck providing the pull was only about 10-15 feet away from where the tree would fall. Noisy diesel truck running, and Ryan was manning the camera. Wanted to make double sure Trevor drove forward as it was falling, even though there was nearly no chance my measurement of where it...

    Bix, notice that we used a nearly 90 degree open face, which would have been difficult to achieve with a humboldt, and would have resulted in a higher backcut, so no net gain in board feet. Due to the consequences of missing the lay, we took a good hour setting up the cuts. Even used two 6...

    It was only way to get the log out. I suppose we could have further limbed and topped it... but that wouldn't have looked as cool....and the log could have bounced to either side. I recall it scaled out at about 2400 board feet..... but there were a lot of knots which hurt the grade...and pay. I...

    It's kinda like Eli zippin....as he did long ago...without a braking control line.....damn near wore his hands to the bone.... they were rather scorched, raw and bleeding....his gaff shank was bent, his leg hurt a bit, and my Dolmar 7900 cracked a handle....(still unfixed and working 8 years...

    I just saw that trick not 30 minutes ago, August. Never tried it...We've been zippedydoodah climb saws outta da trees for years. It's always worked, but with trepidation. Good thing I never get up very high with the behemoth, I might be compelled to try it...... I had the 660 sporting a 42"...
