thats the real deal on a logging job. not at a dead run but often on a yarder side

 

[Paul B]

so is that for scaling out the right lengths when you get to the upper parts of the trunk?

 

[sotc]

see the end of the log is broken? happens sometimes in the skidding process, the mill has "prefered lengths" that the logs need to be when they get to the mill. hes out there bucking back to the next prefered length, you can see the tape on the log

 

[Paul B]

saw the clues, just looking for confirmination from a pro

 

[Rotax Robert]

There is a mark on the log where saw can be started and has to be shutoff.

Also a mark on the bottom where they must jump on the log. The line at the top is where you can start the saw as well as hit the kill (prior) to crossing on your way down.

Here is a pic and news clip from this last week end. Big Bill and Tractor Dave get lit up. I talked to Bill a bit ago and they will both be O.K. Dave (the tall one) took the worst of it and only spent a short stint in the hospital.

Channel 13 had a really good angle. Saw that last night glad they are ok you were in the end of 13s video

 

[woodworkingboy]

Wow, face full of fire! Was it determined what caused it?

 

[SkwerI]

My guess would be a rapid, uncontrolled oxidation of highly volatile liquid fuel.


Glad he's OK.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Thinin ya hit it Brian.. LOL
Just happy you guys ok ...

 

[woodworkingboy]

You mean a lil' rubber hose popped off? A big ramification for such a little event.

I'm thinkin you would be correct, I was not at that show, but know somebody advanced the timeing from where it was. Horsepower in a can does'nt always work. (uncontrolled oxidation)

Both are OK !!! allthough a bit hot.

On a side note, You all should know that I am on strike (Boeing)... and don't use this puter to much, so I have not been posting as regular.
