Reaching on out there

Jed I’m sure with a track record like yours nobody is going to chew you out about a fence !!

 

[PCTREE]

Don’t know what happened to the picture

 

[Bodean]

The line looks askew.. like more pear than plumb.

 

[gf beranek]

That's a heck of a shot.

 

[Bodean]

Heck of a wind to push a 250 lb. Ball.

 

[Nutball]

I heard it, but didn't expect this

 

[gf beranek]

ripped off your drivers. The old sprocket drives used to do that a lot. Rare for a rim.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Nom nom nom

 

[Burnham]

Ring a ding ding ding.

I do recall, not so fondly, the company (Sohner Tree) had a Mac 125 with a 60 inch bar and half inch round chain. Took a 3/8 file to sharpen. "Old Blister". Used that saw to cut old-growth stumps out of the right of ways. Stumps that could take 2 days to wreck down flush to the slope.

I swear, Ol' Blister was powerful enough to strip the drivers off a foot of chain in single wack. Surely so if you're dare run it with a loose chain and the tip buried in a cut! Ring a ding, ding, ding! You're done... you dumb 'F'.

Good ol days. I hated that saw enough to cave in and use my 090 on occasion. With its 7 foot bar those old-growth stumps where dispatched smartly, and with a lot less pain.

 

[flushcut]

Good story!

 

[flushcut]

A possible up coming job. IDK there might be a root problem. Customer says the tree has looked like that for 50 years since his childhood.

 

[pantheraba]

Tenacious tree.

 

[lxskllr]

Old Blister doesn't sound like a saw I'd want to use :^D

View pruning this left side by heavy pruning on a dying maple stump-sprout. About a dozen leaders, reaching about 100' tall, maybe as wide.

The interior leaders are getting crushed from all sides.



Mulberry reduction, to be followed by replacing the 10+ year old Cobra with EHS and rods.

 

[Jed]

Man... who could know there’s a Mulberry around here. Nice pics Sean.

Cory, Gerry, Stig: Thanks so much for the comments.

Paul: Man, I don’t deserve NUTHIN! Eastside is just about money. If the money’s there... you don’t get chewed out, and woe betide you if it’s not.

Got probably another hour of welding tomorrow am, but the gin poles are pretty much functional and welded out. Kinda funny it took 1 day just messing around to get that far. I don't have the winch stuff fabbed up yet, the guyline anchors, or the front support structure, but it's enough to lift the poles and use a chain fall to lift stuff. Felt kinda amazing to get outside and work like normal again, and put a hood on. My welding machine almost seemed to miss me

Edit: shit wrong thread i have the alcohol tolerance of a freshman in high school anymore!

Back to the grindstone, but with a new toy. 18" Pine heaving up roots leaning towards wires, pulled it backwards with the new winch. Chipped every bit. Heck of a machine Sven got himself

Fine looking machine indeed.

Apologies to Dire Straights and Mark Knopfler .

 

[BIGTWIG]

Congrats @Sven

Balsam fir. Outgrew the area. No room to drop the multi leader top so each one had to be pulled out one at a time. I did not see any sign of the original leader breaking so I wonder why it decided to go menorah style.

 

[gf beranek]

Looks like a sticky affair.

 

[Patrick A]

oh yes, my hitch cord was all glued up and binding. I switched to the a mechanical device after the first 15 min

 

[pantheraba]

Menorah style... Good description. Cool work.
